Mangaluru, Jul 25: A 20-year-old student jumped to death from a building at Hampankatta in the heart of the city of Mangaluru today.

The deceased has been identified as Guruprasad, son of Manoj, a resident of Jappinamogaru area in the city. He was perusing an engineering course at a private college at Valachil on the outskirts of the city.

The reason for the boy’s extreme step is yet to be known. It is said that he was depressed for past few days.

Like every day his father had dropped Guruprasad at Kankanady bus stop around 8.00 a.m. He used to board college bus from there every day.

However, today instead of going to college, he went towards Hampankatta and jumped down from a building at around 8:30 a.m.

He was immediately rushed to nearby Wenlock Hospital, where he breathed his last.

A case has been registered at Mangaluru North Police Station and investigations are on.

First Dont pressurize in studies. Be friendly with Kids, Learn together with them. Dont look and compare with other kids who is smarter than your kids... Appreciate your kids when he brings something interesting even it is small. If the kid is bringing something bad ... Never scold ... After all he is your kid... bring him near and advice him and explain to him the bad effect of what he is doing ... Give examples of precious people and their end for doing such bad thing..... PARENTS should be Patience all the time with the kids.. Keep Laptop / mobile phones in the hall instead of their ROOM.

What I have observed among our Indian parents is they are very arrogant, too strict and the parents think they are always right. Children have no say in anything.  Parents won't listen and don't have patience to what the children have to say and they just brush them off.

Parents should ask if they find anything abnormal, like this boy was depressed for past few days.

kids are not open minded to parents. They are not telling everything to their parents. Reason yet to be known, but still if he told to his father, he may need not to go for this extreme step

Bengaluru, Apr 12: The Karnataka government is studying in-depth the consequences of the possible relaxation of lockdown norms after April 14 and plans to come out with a clear roadmap in a day or two, a key Minister said on Sunday.

Medical Education Minister K Sudhakar, who is in charge of all matters related to COVID-19, told PTI that the pros and cons of any decision that the Government intends to take is being looked at in detail.

"We are trying to understand how the situation would be of any action that we intend to take. We need to foresee the repercussions or results of our action. That we have to keep it in mind and make a decision. After-effects of the decisions we intend to take, that is more important, he said. You will have clarity (on the possible relaxation of lockdown norms) in a day or two. For everything (government decisions) we will give the reasoning for what action we would like to take; with the reasoning, we will give a decision," the Minister added.

Government sources said some relaxation in liquor sales, stopped during the lock-down period, is likely after the ongoing 21-day national clampdown ends on April 14. Twelve of the state's 30 districts remain free from the COVID-19 pandemic. Till Saturday, Karnataka reported 215 COVID-19 positive cases, including six deaths and 39 discharges.
