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.

Thrissur, Feb 11: The latest test result of the woman medical student, who arrived here from China's Wuhan region and was the first positive case from India for the novel Coronavirus (nCoV), has come out negative, health officials said on Monday.

Her condition was "stable", they said.

According to the state health department as of now, 31 people are in isolation wards across various hospitals in the state.

"The blood test result of the first patient from Thrissur, from the National Institute of Virology (NIV) testing centre at Alappuzha, shows a negative result.

But we need confirmation from the NIV at Pune," a senior medical officer told news agency.

After the first positive case was reported from Thrissur, two other Keralite students from Wuhan, the epicentre of the virus, had tested positive in Alappuzha and Kasaragod districts.

The health department had earlier said those in isolation wards of various hospitals in the state have come down to 34.

"A total of 3,367 are under observation across the state, of which 3,336 are under home quarantine," a release issued by the health department said.

The department has already sent at least 364 samples for testing at the NIV at Pune and so far 337 results have returned negative.

The ''state calamity'' alert, which was declared on February 3, was withdrawn on Friday after no new positive cases of infection were detected.
