The demise of 54-year-old scholar, who was the principal of Jamia Islamia Educational Institutions and Khatheeb of Jamia Masjid for several years, came as a shock to the entire town of Bhatkal.

The end came at around 4:30p.m. and the mortal remains of the departed soul were brought back to Bhatkal at 9:30 p.m. Thousands of mourners including socio political leaders gathered in the vicinity of the house and waited late into the night to get a glimpse of the deceased.

As soon as the sad news began to spread, the people of Bhatkal voluntarily closed down their shops and businesses as a mark of respect. Bhatkalis in Middle Eastern countries too closed down their shops.

Meanwhile, Majlis-e-Islah-wa-Tanzeem, a prominent body of Bhatkal Muslims, declared holiday for all Muslim educational institutions in Bhatkal.

Well known for his Juma Khutbah (Friday sermons) for three decades and eloquent way of reciting Qur’an, Maulana had thousands of fans and followers in and around the town. He served as the imam of Jamia Masjid for over 32 years.

After completing his education in Darul Uloom Nadwatul Ulama, a prestigious Islamic education institution based in Lucknow, he joined Jamia Islamia in 1983 as a teacher of theology and Islamic studies. As its principal for the last 15 years, he was instrumental in making it one of the best centres for religious education in south India.

Several socio-cultural and religious organizations of Bhatkal and groups of nonresident Bhatkal people from across the world have expressed deep grief over Maulana’s demise.

The janazah prayer will be held on Thursday at 10 am at Jamia Masjid and he will be laid to rest at the cemetery in Takiya street.

Karnataka to launch 'Statewide Health Register' to maintain health database

News Network

May 28,2020

Bengaluru, May 28: In a first of its kind initiative, the Karnataka government will soon launch 'Statewide Health Register', a project to maintain the health database of all its citizens, announced Medical Education Minister Dr K Sudhakar on Wednesday.

The project will kick start from Chikkaballapura and Dakshina Kannada districts.

"With a vision to efficiently deliver quality healthcare to every citizen, Karnataka will soon have a Statewide Health Register. The pilot project will be implemented in Chikkaballapura & Dakshina Kannada dist shortly and completed in 3-4 months. @CMofKarnataka @PMOIndia @JPNadda," tweeted the Minister.

The government plans to get the data collected with the help of a team of Primary Health Centre (PHC) officials, revenue officials, Education Department staff and ASHA (Accredited Social Health Activist) workers.

"They will visit each household and collect health data of all the members of the family. This will not just help the government to provide better health care facilities, but also build an efficient resource allocation, management and better implementation of various citizen-centric schemes in the state," the minister added.

Sudhakar also said that the COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated the necessity of having a robust, real-time public health system.

"Very few countries in the world have taken such an initiative. It is a futuristic project which will include 50 per cent partnership of private hospitals. It would be a cumbersome process but if we do this and digitise it, the data could be used for multiple purposes. The data would help us prioritise healthcare based on geography, demography, and other targeted measures. It would also help medical professionals and scientists for innumerable studies," he said.

"We have consulted all specialists from 18 different departments, and taken their advice into account," said the minister.
