Addressing mediapersons on Saturday, former Union minister Janardhan Poojary said that the Mangaluru Dasara started in 1990 and is known across the country as well as in different parts of the world.

“The Mangaluru Dasara is being organised with the strength and power of the people of the region. Over 75 tableaux will take part in the Dasara procession,” said Poojary, to a query from reporters, and added, “We do not expect any financial assistance from the government. Even during the renovation of the temple, no financial assistance from the government was sought.”

Temple Management Committee treasurer Padmaraj R said that the Dasara celebrations will commence with the installation of the idols of the Navadurgas and Goddess Sharada at 11.15 am on October 1. Daily pooja and rituals will be offered to the idols of Brahmacharini, Chandraghanta, Kooshmandini, Siddhidatri, Mahakali, Mahagowri, Kathyayini, Skanda Mata, Adishakti, Shailaputri and Ganapathi, he said and added that, on October 9, a Chandika Homa and a Hagalothsava will be held. The mass feeding of devotees will be held on October 10.

Cultural programmes featuring leading artists will be held as part of the celebrations on all the days during the festival from 6 pm onwards. Stating that around 75 tableaux are expected to participate in the procession this year, the treasurer said that over 500 colourful umbrellas will also be part of the procession. The streets where the procession pass through are already illuminated to mark Dasara festivities.

He appealed to building owners to illuminate their buildings to add colour to the Dasara procession. The Dasara procession will traverse 7 kilometres, from Kshetra - Ladyhill - Lalbagh - Ballalbagh - Kodialbail - Hampankatte - University College - Ganapathi High School Road - Car Street - Chitra Talkies before reaching the Kshetra. The idols will later be immersed in the temple pond in the early hours of October 12.

Govt doctor, who was turned away by 3 Bengaluru hospitals, dies of covid

coastaldigest.com news network

July 24,2020

Bengaluru, Jul 24: A government doctor who was turned away by three private hospitals because he could not produce a coronavirus test result passed away today in Bengaluru. Dr Manjunath, who was a frontline COVID-19 doctor, was allegedly turned away by hospitals when he was extremely ill and struggling to breathe.

Dr Manjunath worked in the state Health and Family Welfare department and was based in Ramanagara district, around 50 km from Bengaluru.

D Randeep, a Special Officer with the Bengaluru municipal body BBMP, said that the hospitals that had refused to admit Dr Manjunath would be reported to the health department.

In June-end, Dr Manjunath went to Rajashekhar Hospital in JP Nagar, BGS Global Hospital in Kengeri and Sagar hospital in Kumaraswamy Layout. All three demanded to see his COVID-19 test result but those were still not in at the time, according to his family. His brother-in-law Nagendra is also a doctor with BBMP and in charge of allotting hospital beds, yet he was completely helpless when it came to his own relative.

He was finally admitted to Sagar hospital on June 25 when his family sat in protest on the footpath outside the Dayananda Sagar campus. He was placed on ventilator and later shifted to the Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute, where he died earlier today. The hospital says Dr Manjunath was discharged on July 9 because he wanted plasma therapy.

Six members of his family, including a 14-year-old, tested COVID-19 positive. Most of them have recovered.

Bengaluru has seen several cases of patients being turned away from hospitals in the city. Hospitals say they need Covid test results to know whether to admit patients in the coronavirus ICU or in the general section and to understand treatment protocol.

Mr Randeep said hospitals have been instructed to admit patients even without such a certificate. Notices have been sent to hospitals that fail to comply. The OPD of two private hospitals was sealed for 48 hours when they refused to admit a patient.
