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, Jun 25: Former Karnataka chief minister and Janata Dal (Secular) leader HD Kumaraswamy on Wednesday claimed that there are shortage of beds and ventilators to treat COVID-19 patients in the state.

In a series of tweets, he targetted the Karnataka government on COVID-19 management.

"The state government has failed to provide adequate treatment to those infected with corona. There are no beds and no ventilators to treat more than four thousand patients. Self-induced lockdown is the only solution," he tweeted.

In his subsequent tweet, he said, "Residents of the state, including Bangalore, now have only one way to escape from COVID-19. Stay at home and celebrate yourself as a self-proclaimed lockdown. Money is not more important than life. Your life is in your hands now."

In another tweet, former Chief Minister alleged that the government has fixed Rs 10-15,000 per day for COVID-19 treatment in private hospitals.

"The state government is also saying this indirectly. The 'home remedy' in the home is to stay at home and be safe. The government has fixed Rs 10-15,000 per day for the treatment of this infection in private hospitals. How poor can afford it while upper class can't afford," he tweeted.

"If four members of a family infected with corona, the cost of treatment for a 15-day treatment at a private hospital is Rs 5-6 lakh. Where do the poor bring that Much money? We must save our lives while the government is sitting incapable. This is my concern for the people of the state," he said in another tweet.

In a video message that HD Kumaraswamy demanded the state government to give all kinds of safety and security to the students who are writing the SSLC exam tomorrow.
HD Kumaraswamy also urged students to be careful.

About 8,48,203 students will appear in the Secondary School Leaving Certificate (SSLC) examination tomorrow, said Karnataka Health Minister B Sriramulu on Wednesday.
