Mangaluru: Modi welcome banner puts citizens in danger

Mangaluru, Oct 28: With the Prime Minister Narendra Modi making his first ever visit to participate in a programme in Dakshina Kannada on October 29, the local BJP party workers seem to have gone hyper in their enthusiasm to draw their leader’s attention.

In the process they have thrown caution to the winds while painting the town saffron with the welcome banners and buntings.

This flex board, for example which is installed at Kasibettu on the Mangaluru-Belthangady Highway is clearly putting the citizens in danger as it is tied to a road safety signboard.

The warning sign is installed along a dangerous curve in the road to caution road users to slow down and watch their wheels. But those who have put up this board on behalf of Ranjan G. Gowda, President of BJP Belthangady Unit seem to have no concern for road safety.

One can only hope this will not result in a tragedy to innocent people due to the recklessness of a few.

Bengaluru, Jun 28: Karnataka Minister for Medical Education Dr K Sudhakar faced criticism by netizens after he shared a TikTok video sent by his daughter and wife, who are currently undergoing treatment in a COVID-19 facility.

TikTok is a Chinese video-sharing social networking service owned by ByteDance, a Beijing-based internet technology company founded in 2012 by Zhang Yiming.

Dr Sudhakar’s father, his wife and daughter who tested positive for Covid-19 has been admitted to a designated facility and in order to make his birthday memorable, his daughter sent him greetings through TikTok video.

When the minister shared the TikTok video, people pointed out that the minister should know better and that he should urge his family to boycott the Chinese video-sharing platform and lead by example.

Many were miffed that a BJP leader put up a TikTok video at a time when tensions are running high between India and China along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh.

Bengaluru, May 26: The Karnataka government today resolved to continue with the online method of education as a new normal in the field of higher education. 

Holding the review of the Higher Education department, Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa expressed interest in providing online education to students in higher educational institutes.

Yediyurappa directed the officials to look into the possibilities of extending online education from as early as Pre-University level so that the new method can easily be followed as they scale up the academic career. 

Keeping in mind the less expenditure and online teaching being cost-effective, Yediyurappa said, “If you compare online teaching with the regular classroom teaching, it is not only cost-effective but also helps in savings in terms of resources. Officials must look into the new method and start introducing it as early as PU classes.”
