Bengaluru, May 23: Three Parliamentary Committees will have new nomination as an after effect of Karnataka Assembly polls in which three Lok Sabha members who sucessfully contested the elections have resigned as MPs.

On the other hand, Karnataka will see by-elections to three Lok Sabha seats- Shivamogga, Ballari and Mandya, vacated by B S Yeddyurappa, B Sreeramulu and JD(S) leader C S Puttaraju respectively.

Yeddyurappa won from Shikaripura Assembly segment, while Sreeramulu won from Molkalmuru seat in recently concluded Karnataka assembly polls. Interestingly, both Yeddyurappa and Sreeramulu had quit their MLA seats of Shikaripura and Bellary rural segments respectively - which they had won in 2013 - to contest the 2014 Lok Sabha polls.

Yeddyurappa was a member of Parliamentary Standing Committee on Agriculture headed by BJP MP Hukumdev Narayan Yadav while Sreeramulu was part of the Standing Committee on Home chaired by senior Congress leader P Chidambaram. Both the committees are seized with crucial subjects and hence the BJP won't prefer to keep vacancies there.

While the Committee on Agriculture is examining among other things also the issue of farmer distress, the Committee on Home has been deliberating on the issue of security concerns related to Aadhar platform.

Puttarjau, who also resigned following his election from Melukote Assembly constituency, is a member in the Joint Committee on Salaries and Allowances of Members of Parliament, to  which he was re-nominated in October last year.  It remains to be seen whether Deve Gowda offers himself for nomination in the committee or leaves it to the Lok Sabha Speaker to nominate some leader from any other party.

Bengaluru, May 30: Health Minister B Sriramulu banned the consumption of chewing tobacco in public places on Saturday, which is marked as World Tobacco Day. The ban would include chewing paan masala and spitting in public places.

In June 2013, the state banned the manufacture, storage, sale, or distribution of gutka and paan masala containing tobacco or nicotine as ingredients to reduce the prevalence of tobacco use. On October 26, 2016, the state proscribed all kinds of chewing tobacco, containing tobacco or nicotine or both in accordance with the Supreme Court order.

Karnataka is the second state in India to ban e-cigarettes. The state also prohibited single cigarettes. Until September 2019, the state counselled 15,698 patients in tobacco cessation centres set up in private dental colleges.
