Mangaluru, Apr 5: Mangaluru (South) MLA JR Lobo today formally inaugurated the new electric fire chamber at the Hindu Rudra Bhoomi' (Hindu crematorium) at Boloor, managed by the Mangaluru City Corporation.

Speaking on the occasion he directed the MCC to install a new scrubber-cum-high-chimney at the crematorium and get approval for the same from the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB). Till that is done, the old chimney could be used.

The MLA asked the corporation to purchase a generator and commission it at the earliest. Installing the two new facilities would cost about Rs. 25 lakh. Mr. Lobo also instructed the corporation to put up a new roof for the electric fire chamber building.

He called upon people who lose prejudices against using the environment-friendly electric fire chambers.

He added that based on the success of the electric fire chamber at Boloor, the authorities would take a call on installing them at the Kadri and Nandigudda crematoriums.

The electric fire chamber at Boloor had been defunct for a decade. It was first introduced in 1990, and functioned till 2006. Once the chamber went out of the order, it was replaced with a liquefied petroleum gas-based fire chamber. This chamber was in use till 2011, when it also went out of service.

The corporation has spent around Rs. 20 lakh on this new facility — Rs. 13 lakh on the electric chamber and Rs. 7 lakh on the electric transformer. The new facility can be put to use from Wednesday.

Islam says dead body will feel pain.? Please note brother, it talks about life in Al Barzakh not that dead body will feel pain. There is a difference. What happens to the bodies that of those that died in a fire accident?
Dont worry, whether they burn or bury, mushriks will definitely feel the torment, No Escape!

ISLAM says the dead body will feel PAIN.... Please stop torturing the DEAD by such electric fire chamber...
QURAN has a lot of things to say about MANKIND and all the CREATION of ALLAH...
Every soul will die and it has an appointed time with our CREATOR... The eternal life (which will never end) starts when the CREATOR who gave us this life takes it back & will be judged for their deeds of this Life.
Recognize the TRUE CREATOR and Do good for the eternal Heaven..

Bengaluru Jul 29: There will be a centralised system in place in Karnataka to classify asymptomatic, symptomatic and mild symptomatic persons and recommend treatment based on the severity of the cases, said Medical Education Minister Dr K Sudhakar on Tuesday here.

"Various existing apps related to COVID-19 will be brought under one platform to get real-time information which will assist in strategising allocation of hospitals/beds to the needy. This will probably remove the delay in bed allocation and treatment which is being faced now. The patients will get all information in one phone call," Dr Sudhakar said.

Sudhakar spoke with a team of experts from the government and Infosys.

Referring to a company by name Step 1, which is providing such services in Delhi and Madhya Pradesh, the Minister said that a similar system will be implemented in the state as well.

"This company is having a team of doctors and nurses which is guiding the people whether they need hospital treatment or home isolation after they are tested positive for COVID-19. More than 70 per cent of the positive cases are being asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic and are advised to go for home isolation," the minister said.

"The load on the hospitals is reduced and severe cases can be administered proper treatment. Infosys co-ordinates with the government to provide technical support for this system," Dr Sudhakar added.

Earlier during the day, the minister held a video conference with the heads of private medical colleges to review COVID preparedness.
The government has already passed guidelines to allocate 50 per cent of hospital beds for COVID patients.

Mangaluru, Jul 12: The Expert Committee set up by the District authorities to inquire into death due to Covid-19 in Dakshina Kannada district declared that the death was due to patients late reporting to the hospitals and severe co-morbidities.

''Many were scared to visit the hospitals for treatment. Any patient suffering from fever, cold should stop self-medication and seek the advice of doctors. From what we have observed, the mortality was among patients who reported late to hospitals. Many had ignored symptoms assuming it to be a common cold,'' Expert Committee members Dr Hansraj Alva and Dr Muralidhar Yadiyal told mediapersons on Saturday night.

Wenlock Hospital Superintendent Dr Sadashiv said of the 38 deaths reported in the District, the expert committee had analysed 35 deaths. 9 persons who died are below 50 years old, 10 are in the age group of 50 to 60 years, 11 in the age group of 60 to 70 and five in the age group of above 70 years.
