Karnataka much ahead of other states in ensuring welfare of people: Chief justice

Mysuru, Sept 27: Karnataka government is much ahead of other states in fulfilling the aspirations of the Constitution and in promoting the welfare of people, according to the High Court Chief Justice Subhro Kamal Mukherjee.

He was delivering the inaugural address during the national seminar on ‘Constitution-Democracy-Equality: Karnataka A Role Model’, held as part of the Dasara celebrations at the Senate Bhavan in Manasagangothri here on Tuesday.

He said: “Karnataka has always given a platform for one to live peacefully and coordinate with the society. It offers a stage for one to perform, establish a reputation and has a society that enables progressions in the fastest route possible”.

“Karnataka’s pioneering experiment with Panchayat Raj reforms in the 1980s sparked the 73rd amendment of the Constitution. The consequent and continuing wave of devolutions in finance and power trickled down to the grassroots level of administration.

“This emphasis on technology-led growth, coupled with local government reform, is at least in theory, a singularly innovative strategy to address the challenge of generating growth with equity and can be described as the ‘Karnataka model’ of development,” Mukherjee said.

“Reposing confidence in the people in the democratic system is vital. If the confidence of the people is gained, it will go a long way in upholding the principles of democracy and equality. The Constitution is the supreme law of India. It is the longest written constitution of any sovereign country. It recognises the principle of equality of all persons.”

“The basic feature of the Indian Constitution is protection of fundamental and human rights and universal adult franchise. The government in Karnataka has introduced various schemes and plans and it is a role model in both public and private sectors such as education, industrial development, infrastructure, and healthcare,” he said.

Bengaluru, May 25: Helpless dairy farmers in a village in Bangaluru Rural district have dumped around 4,000 litres of milk into drains and on anthills.

The shocking incident took place at Chikka Korati near Hoskote yesterday after the Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) refused to collect the milk because a pregnant woman in the village had tested positive for Covid-19.

The village was sealed off three days ago and three of the woman’s family was sent to institutional quarantine. The incident is an embarrassment since the government has been urging people not to stigmatise patients or their contacts.

“In Hoskote taluk, we lead in milk production,” Guru Korati, a villager, said. “There are around 130 families in the village, but we have two milk producers’ cooperative societies (MPCSs) – Chikka Korati MPCS and Dinne Korati MPCS. Our village produces more than 4,000 litres per day. The KMF refused to collect milk from both societies after they learnt about the positive case. Frustrated, we poured the milk down the drain.”

Guru wanted the government to address the village’s problems. “We are not only struggling to sell milk, but we also cannot transport vegetables which we cultivate,” he said.

Veerabhadrappa, from Chikka Korati in Bayala Narasapura gram panchayat, said: “Several families have cows enough to yield more than 50 litres of milk. What will they do with such a huge quantity of milk?”

Mehaboob Sab, panchayat development officer (PDO) of Bayala Narasapura GP, said, “We aren’t sure how the woman contracted Covid-19. A family member had visited Tamil Nadu and the woman also frequently visited a hospital in Kolar for checkups. We are still tracing her contacts.”
