As per preliminary data, the State's northern border of Manjeswaram registered 70.70 per cent voting, Kasaragod 70.90, Uduma 74.60, Kanhangad 71.40, and Thrikkarippur, 75.60. No major untoward incident were reported from across the district as eight companies of Central and para-military forces assisted the local police in maintaining law and order.

However, there were brief disruptions in the voting process in several polling booths in the district, where the gusty summer showers the other day had affected power supply, as the officials had to sweat under humid weather and use light candles to oversee that polling process. Voting process at a booth at the Kumbala Holy Angel's convent in the Manjeswaram segment was interrupted for around 20 minutes as the voting machine developed snags.

In an isolated incident, Kasaba beach in Nellikkunnu locality here witnessed group clashes involving BJP and IUML workers around 1 p.m. Two IUML workers sustained injuries and an autorickshaw was damaged. The injured accused the BJP workers of preventing them from voting.

With sky remaining overcast all through the day and rain keeping away, voters turned up in large numbers, forming serpentine queues in most polling stations in the district. The momentum came down for a while in the afternoon, only to pick up in the final hours.

The voting figure in the district touched close to 60 per cent as the clock ticked three. Elaborate arrangements made at the polling stations helped the aged and ailing persons cast their votes in a hassle-free manner.

Manjeswaram and Uduma segments, which witnessed interesting contests, saw a quantum jump in voter turnout right from morning.

Bengaluru, Mar 24: Underlining the seriousness of the coronavirus, which is spreading like wildfire in Karnataka, renowned Heart Surgeon and founder of Narayana Hrudayalaya Dr Devi Shetty on Tuesday predicted that Karnataka alone will have more than 80,000 people affected with the dreaded killer disease COVID-19 if people fail to protect themselves.

He urged the people to cooperate with the Government in preventing its further spread and immediately treat those who are affected.

Dr Shetty, urging the people to remain indoors and not to venture out, said those who are affected should not come out and remain in isolation even in their houses and take all precautions advised by doctors.

He said if 80,000 people in the state were affected, more than 20,000 need to be admitted to Hospital for treatment.

"More than 2000 affected need to be kept under ventilation and it requires more infrastructure in the hospitals," he said.

Mysuru, Jan 20: Fears over CAA and proposed NRC have affected the ongoing 7th economic census. Following complaints of violence against enumerators and registration of FIR with people declining to give information, the state government has asked deputy commissioners and superintendents of police to hold awareness programmes about it.

The planning, programme monitoring & statistics department has requested the home department to provide cooperation at the police station level while additional chief secretary P Ravi Kumar, in his letter to all DCs, has asked them to create awareness. According to sources, enumerators in T Narasipura town of Mysuru district faced resistance as some residents misunderstood the reason for this census.

A senior officer of the directorate of economics and statistics said that additional chief secretary (ACS- Planning, Programme Monitoring & Statistics Department) Shalini Rajneesh has written to the home department and superintendents of police of all districts seeking their help to create awareness about the economic census.

According to sources in the directorate, in many places, people are refusing to share information under the misconception that it is related to CAA/ NRC. “Many are mistaken about the economic census. As a precaution, police help has been sought,” an officer said.

Authorities in Mysuru said the 7th economic census began on December 20 and will conclude on March 30.

“In Mysuru city alone, we need to cover a population of 11 lakh. In T Narasipura, we faced problems due to misconceptions about Census and CAA. We reported the incident which happened in an area where minorities reside in large numbers,” he explained. Mysuru SP CB Rishyanth said his office has not received any direction in this matter.
