Mangaluru, Nov 17: Where there's a will to convert black money into white without paying penalty, there's always a way! And, the heads of the educational institutions in Mangaluru, the city of 'intelligent' people, have found an easiest way to counter thejihad' against black money.

1balckwhiteAccording to reliable sources, a few city based professional college, have asked some of their students, who had paid huge donations and fees a few months ago, to collect the money back in the form of denominated notes of Rs 1,000 and Rs 500 and return new currency notes after exchanging them in banks.

A Keralite student of a paramedical college in Mangaluru told coastaldigest.com on condition of anonymity that many of her batch mates have been asked to return their fee receipts. The college will give them the receipts only after they help the college to exchange the denominated currency notes through their personal accounts.

Ironically, the students who had paid fees through cheques are also being used as money mules by the professional colleges. The unethical practice of the colleges has caused inconveniences to several poor parents, who had sold their gold ornaments to pay the huge donations and fees months ago.

It is learnt that some students have paid more than Rs 3 lakh donations and fees to get seats in professional courses. The parents of those students are now in a quandary as the deposit above Rs 2.5 lakh will come under scanner.

Bengaluru, Jul 4: A young woman doctor at the Kempegowda Institute of Medical Sciences, Bengaluru, who had raised an alarm about faulty PPE kits and shortage of N95 masks, has tested positive for the covid-19.

Taking note of this, Mysuru-Kodagu MP Pratap Simha brought the issue to the attention on Medical Education Minister Dr K Sudhakar on Twitter. Tagging the minister, the MP tweeted, “For your information and I feel, it is a genuine concern.” “Amulya Gowda treated Covid patients at KIMS.

Karnataka Medical Association took to social media to express concern over the development. In a Facebook post it wrote: "Amulya C Gowda is a frontline worker who risks her life every single day. Last week she raised an alarm about faulty PPE kits and shortage of N-95 masks. But the Administrative Medical Officer (AMO) at KIMS, shunned and chastised her for raising this issue. Ever since, she has been buying her own N-95 masks. Today, she tested positive for Covid-19 and appealed to the Hospital authorities and raised her genuine concerns over the faulty protective gear, but she was again harassed and humiliated for raising the issue."

Dr DH Ashwath Narayana, Medical Superintendent, KIMS Hospital, said that all PPE kits at KIMS were certified by SITRA (South India Textiles Research Association), Coimbatore and that they had purchased N-95 masks available in the market. "One cannot claim faulty PPEs are the reason for testing positive. We have purchased whatever PPE kits are available in the market. Healthcare workers across hospitals, private and government, and policemen are also getting infected."

As the new rules by the state government allow healthcare workers home isolation, Narayana said the doctor is recuperating at home and that she is doing fine.

Medical education minister Dr K Sudhakar tweeted, "Doctors are our frontline warriors battling the pandemic. Government has taken all necessary measures to ensure safety of our doctors. I have taken note of supply of defective masks and PPE kits to KIMS doctors and ordered an enquiry. Management will be held responsible if found guilty."
