Mangaluru, Jul 28: After successful raids against massage parlours and gambling centres across the city, Mayor Kavitha Sanil on Friday conducted a surprise dive to clear parking encroachments. This time the Mayor targeted two under construction buildings in the heart of the city.

Team of Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) officials led by the Mayor demolished structures, cleared construction materials and took possession of a large piece of the land in the heart of the city, which building owners had relinquished to MCC.

A cooperative society had agreed to relinquish a large piece of land on Mission Street while applying for a building licence in 2012. However, the owners have failed to surrender about 20 ft wide land in front of their under construction building even after four years. Meanwhile, another under construction building on the same road too has not adhered to the conditions with regard to surrendering of relinquished land to MCC.

Following this, the Mayor, MCC officials and workers arrived with an earth mover machine and truck to clear materials and take possession of the relinquished land. The team successfully demolished walls, cleared construction materials and debris dumped on the relinquished land. Mayor told reporters that the MCC has plans to utilize the land for development purpose.

"We realized while conducting drives against parking encroachments that many buildings have not adhered conditions with regard to relinquishing of land.

Builders agree while applying for licence that they would surrendered the relinquished land during the completion of building. I have made ruling during last council meeting that builders should surrender the land soon after it is relinquished. These builders are not surrendering the land and delaying the construction making it difficult for public. If the land is cleared, it will be useful for pedestrians on the road," the Mayor said.

She said that in all cases, the relinquished land becomes the property of MCC with immediate effect. "The builders should surrender relinquished land immediately so that we will be able to use it for development. However, they refuse to surrender the land and promise that it will be handed over during the completion.

If they delay the construction, the relinquished land also will remain unitilised and as a result people will suffer. Hence, we have conducted a drive to clear such land. I have made it clear in the council meet that those who relinquish land should surrender the same immediately when they get building licence. Drainage will be constructed on the land that we took possession today," Kavitha said.

Bengaluru, Aug 7: Amid the rising number of COVID-19 cases in Karnataka, the state's health department issued fresh guidelines for the disposal of bodies of COVID patients.

"Although an increased risk of COVID infection from a dead body to health workers or family members who follow standard precautions while handling the body is unlikely, the lack of scientific data requires the utmost care to avoid the inadvertent spread of COVID-19 during these times," the statement from the health department's press release read, emphasising on the dignity of the dead and the religious and cultural tradition.

The 23-page press release elaborated on guidelines regarding testing, handling of dead bodies and other specificities in relation to the management of COVID-19 bodies.

"Testing should not be insisted in every case of death, but only when they have a recorded history of influenza-like symptoms. The body should be handed over to the family members/ relatives in a dignified manner immediately after swab collection and hospitals should provide handouts with a list of dos and don'ts in English and Kannada laying down relevant information," the statement said.

It added, "At the mortuary, health care workers, mortuary staff and the family of the deceased body shall not come in direct contact with the dead body and must wear full personal protective equipment (PPE). If the family or relative are for any reason unable to cremate or bury the body, the local health authority shall arrange for the dignified last rites as per the religious traditions of the family."

Regarding autopsies (post mortem) on COVID-19 bodies, the state department said that they should be avoided, except in necessary circumstances.

The statement also gave detailed guidelines regarding the appropriate recording of COVID-19 deaths in line with the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) guidelines.

Additionally, the health department made a statement about the admission procedure for COVID positive patients referred by other district administrations saying, "It is now mandatory for all the referrals from the BBMP admission and discharge of COVID positive patients to be done through the online COVID Hospital Bed Management System (CHBMS)."

The state's count of coronavirus cases was 1,51,449 in the past 24 hours.

So far, a total of 2,804 people have died due to COVID-19 in the state, while the average recovery rate in Karnataka is 49.3 per cent.

Bengaluru, Jan 24: The JD(S) is looking to leverage anti-Citizen (Amendment) Act (CAA), National Register of Citizens (NRC) and National Population Register (NPR) sentiment sweeping the country to revive itself and will hold protests in Bengaluru and New Delhi.

The Bengaluru protest is scheduled for Friday. At a meeting of party workers in Bengaluru on Thursday, party patriarch HD Deve Gowda and former chief minister HD Kumaraswamy urged the rank and file to participate in the rally to send out a loud and clear message to the BJP.

"The BJP has set out to make Muslims second-grade citizens. India has 40 crore Muslims, can these communal forces eliminate them all?" Gowda said in his address. "We should have the guts to launch a massive protest at Jantar Mantar. We should be prepared to go to jail in the fight against [Prime Minister] Narendra Modi and [Union home minister] Amit Shah."

Gowda said he will lead the rally in Delhi and urged secular parties to unite to take on the BJP. "It is important that regional parties, which share a secular ideology, unite on a common agenda and fight the BJP. Bihar, Kerala and Odisha have said they will not implement CAA. The sentiment is likely to spread to other states," Gowda said.

Kumaraswamy said not only Muslims but many other communities will also bear the brunt of BJP’s "divisive politics". "This pair of Hakka-Bukka [Modi and Shah] is not targeting Muslims alone," he said. "For them, all communities other than upper caste Hindus are inferior Shudras. They will treat even Lingayats, Vokkaligas and Dalits with the same contempt."

The former CM made a special appeal to Lingayats, who generally back the BJP, to stop supporting the saffron party’s caste-oriented politics. "You had appreciated my farm loan waiver scheme and promised support in the elections. But, the results were contrary to that," he said.

The JD(S) passed three resolutions including one to condemn the Centre for enacting CAA. The others were to protest against the Centre’s indifference to the floods in the state and the failed economic policy of the Centre.
