Mangaluru, Aug 18: A day after a Bharatiya Janata Party worker was beaten to death by a group of cow vigilantes in Udupi, activists of left-wing groups on Thursday staged a protest in Mangaluru demanding stringent action against those who disrupt peace in the society.

The protest was organised by Democratic Youth Federation of India and Students' Federation of India, the youth and students wings of Communist Party of India (Marxist) respectively. Members of the Dalit Sangharsha Samiti and other likeminded groups also joined the protest held in front of the office of Deputy Commissioner in the city.

Ironically, the BJP leaders of coastal Karnataka, who normally give a bandh call in the region if a Hindu was attacked by people belonging to the other communities for any reason, today are not in a position to give any statement over the incident.

Addressing the protesters, Muneer Katipalla, state president of DYFI, took on the leaders of Sangh Parivar for their “helpless silence” over the brutal murder of their own follower by so called gau rakshaks'.

He said that the latest incident of mob lynching once again proved that Hindutva ideologues always instigate people from backward classes against other backward classes and oppressed sections.

Local DYFI leaders Santosh Kumar Bajal, Dayanada Shetty, Imtiyaz BK, SFI leaders Charan Shetty, Nitin Kuttar, Dalit leaders Raghu Yekkar, Laxman Kanchan participated in the protest among others.

A group of around 30 people owing allegiance to Vishva Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal on August 17 attacked Praveen Poojary (29), and his aide Akshay Devadiga (22) near Hebri in Karkala taluk of Udupi district under the pretext of illegal cow transportation. While Poojary, a known BJP activist in the region, breathed his last at a hospital, Devadiga is recuperating slowly.

It's not about any party. It's protest against \Terrorists\" who kill people in the name of \"GauMatha\""

Ballari, Apr 18: Hosapete town in Ballari district of Karnataka gasped in disbelief as it turned out that 11 members of one single family are positive for the coronavirus.

The whole town has been declared a containment zone and is being surveilled 24X7.

The family includes seven members whose tests returned positive today, three who tested Covid-19 positive on March 30 and one other member subsequently.

The seven who tested positive today had been negative when they were earlier tested along with the others.

They have all now been shifted to isolation wards at the District Hospital in Ballari.

Including this family of 11, Ballari has 13 positive cases so far, with one case each reported from Ballari and Siraguppa towns.

Startled by this sudden upsurge from Hosapete, the district administration has set up 16 fever clinics to screen people and six COVID care centres to treat positive cases. There are two dedicated COVID hospitals, one at Ballari and another at Torangallu in Sandur.

A team of psychological counsellors have been put on duty to provide support to the patients at the isolation centres.

Bengaluru, Aug 3: All those who met Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa, who has tested positive for Covid-19, in the last three-four days will have to be quarantined, Medical Education Minister Sudhakar K said on Monday.

He also said those who came in contact with Yediyurappa in a couple of programmes in the past week are being traced.

Sudhakar, a medical doctor himself, said Yediyurappa has "very mild cough and his chest is clear."

"I think eight to ten days," he told news agency when asked how long the Chief Minister would have to remain in hospital.

Sudhakar said he is also getting himself tested as a few of his office staff had tested positive.

"All those who met the Chief Minister in the last 3-4 days...ideally they should be quarantined till they receive their results/report. Those who came in contact with him in a couple of programmes will have to isolate themselves and subject themselves for testing," the Minister said.

On the Chief Minister meeting Governor Vajubhai Vala, along with Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai last Friday, Sudhakar said as a result "They also become primary contacts. Ideally, they should also be quarantined and tested."

Yediyurappa who was hospitalised on Sunday night after testing positive for Covid-19 was "doing well" and is "clinically stable", the hospital treating him said.

The 77-year old leader is being monitored by a team of doctors at the Manipal hospital here.

"He is doing well, is clinically stable and will be monitored closely by our team," the hospital said in a statement late last night.

"I have tested positive for coronavirus. Whilst I am fine, I am being hospitalised as a precaution on the recommendation of doctors. I request those who have come in contact with me recently to be observant and exercise self-quarantine," Yediyurappa had said in his tweet.

Yediyurappa was in home quarantine a couple of weeks ago, after some staff members in his home office were found infected with the virus. Subsequently, he tested negative for Covid-19.
