Bengaluru, Oct 23: Are opposition parties using cockroach and other insects as weapons to defame Chief Minister Siddaramaiah-led Karnataka government's favourite project, Indira Canteen? A CCTV camera has captured the scene of a few miscreants apparently putting insects into the food before creating ruckus at an Indira Canteen located in Gottigere area of the Bengaluru city.

The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has filed complaint at jurisdictional Kamakshipalya police station against four youths in connection with the viral video in which the presence of cockroach and insects in food at Indira Canteen was shown.

In a video that surfaced a couple of days ago on Facebook, a cockroach and what appears to be a fly were seen in the food served at the canteen. The incident took place on October 20 at around 9 a.m. The video was first posted by Hemanth Kumar on ‘Fight for Right’ Facebook page at around 7.15am on October 21. The social media cell of BJP widely circulated the media. The 1:38 minutes clip went viral on WhatsApp groups too.

The entire episode was shot in mobile cameras. A man in khaki and another who is walking out of the canteen with anger is seen claiming in the video that “Food served is stale and unhygienic. Cockroach and other insects were found in the food.” Another man sporting blue shirt is heard saying, “Instead of serving food with cockroaches and insects, it is better they close down.”

However, CCTV footages clearly indicated that the group had put something in the plate before raising a hue and cry saying they had found a cockroach, said BBMP Mayor R. Sampath Raj.

“It seems to be a deliberate attempt to defame the canteen. We have submitted the footage to the cybercrime police as well so that they determine the facts. But we are ready for any probe,” he said.

Based on the complaint, the Kamakshipalya police have filed an FIR under Section 504 of the Indian Penal Code for intentional insult to provoke breach of peace, among other Sections, said a senior officer.

All the four accused are suspected to be the activists of a political party. Brijesh Kalappa, an advocate in the Supreme Court, Legal Advisor to the Government of Karnataka, in his Facebook post has called the miscreants as members of a self proclaimed ‘nationalist’ party.

Indira Canteens are a chain of government-run canteens that provide food at subsidised costs, to cover a large area in Bengaluru. Siddaramaiah government is planning to expand to all taluks in Karnataka. The government also prides itself in the quality of food and hygiene of the kitchens as well.

Bengaluru, Aug 7: The Karnataka government would provide Rs 10,000 immediate relief to families affected by heavy rains and flooding in districts across coastal, central and southern areas of the state, an official said on Thursday.

"Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa has directed all the Deputy Commissioners in the rain-cum-flood-hit districts to provide Rs 10,000 interim relief to the affected families and Rs 5 lakh to those whose houses were completely damaged in the natural disaster," a Revenue Department official told media persons here.

As the south-west monsoon advanced and intensified, heavy and widespread rains with gusty winds have been lashing 12 of the 30 districts across the state, wreaking havoc and disrupting normal life due to flooding, landslides, lakes and ponds overflowing, and rivers and their tributaries in the spate.

"The Chief Minister also instructed the officials to make use schools, colleges and public places as relief centres to shelter the rain-cum-flood-hit families, as hostels and community halls have been converted into Covid care centres in the affected districts," said the official.

The affected districts have also been advised to conduct a survey of crop loss suffered by farmers for compensation under the centrally-sponsored Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana and the Weather Based Crop Insurance Schemes.

Deputy Commissioners have been told to take preventive measures to protect and provide relief to the people from heavy rains, floods and landslides in the affected districts.

"Yediyurappa also directed ministers in-charge of the districts to remain in their constituency and visit the affected areas to assess damage caused by the rains and flash floods for compensation and relief aid," noted the official.

The Chief Minister on Wednesday announced Rs 50 crore for rescue and relief operations in the affected districts across the state.

Meanwhile, the Meteorological department has issued a red alert on heavy rains in the affected districts of Kodagu, Udupi, Dakshina Kannada and Uttar Kannada in the coastal region and in Shivamoga, Chikkamagaluru, Hassan and Haveri in the Malnad region.

"Bagamandala in Kodagu district where Cauvery river springs near Talakaveri received a whopping 486 mm rain during the last 24 hours, causing flash floods and disrupting normal life as offices, shops and eateries remained shut and public transport was affected," added the official.

The water-level in Cauvery and Lakshmanatheertha is flowing at high level while the Sayi layout and Kuvempu layout Kushalnagar is inundated and the affected residents were shifted to safer location.

Rome, Mar 19: Italy on Wednesday reported 475 new deaths from the novel coronavirus, the highest one-day official toll of any nation since the first case was detected in China late last year.

The total number of deaths in Italy has reached 2,978, more than half of all the cases recorded outside China, while the number of infections stood at 35,713.

The previous record high of 368 deaths was also recorded in Italy, on Sunday. The nation of 60 million has now recorded 34.2 percent of all the deaths officially attributed to COVID-19 across the world.

With the death rate still climbing despite the Mediterranean country entering a second week under an effective lockdown, officials urged Italians to have faith and to stay strong.

"They main thing is, do not give up," Italian National Institute of Health chief Silvio Brusaferro said in a nationally televised press conference.

"It will take a few days before we see the benefits" of containment measures, said Brusaferro. "We must maintain these measures to see their effect, and above all to protect the most vulnerable."

Imposed nationally on March 12, the shutdown of most Italian businesses and a ban on public gatherings are due to expire on March 25.

But school closures and other measures, such as a ban fan attendance at sporting events, are due to run on until April 3.

A top government minister hinted Wednesday that the school closure would be extended well into next month, if not longer.

The rates within Italy itself remained stable, with two-thirds of the deaths -- 1,959 in all -- reported in the northern Lombardy region around Milan, the Italian financial and fashion capital.
