March 14, 2016

Mysuru, Mar 14: Incidents of violence, including stone pelting which resulted in damage to KSRTC buses, forcible closure of shops and establishments and torching of two vehicles were reported from parts of Mysuru as Bharatiya Janata Party workers went on a rampage during a bandh called to protest against the murder of party activist Raju.

Even though police launched a manhunt to nab the miscreants involved in the murder of Raju (30), the communal forces are trying to further disrupt the situation in the cultural capital of the state.

The City Police has imposed prohibitory orders under Section 144 of the (Code of Criminal Procedure) CrPC after the murder. However, ignoring the prohibitory orders the BJP activists took out protest rally, which took a violent turn.

While city and suburban services were withdrawn after stones were pelted at buses near the suburban bus stand, the police resorted to mild lathi-charge near Mandi police station to disperse a mob proceeding towards the communally sensitive Sawdey Road.

Protesters entered Devaraja Market and ransacked fruit and vegetable stalls that remained open during the bandh after entering into an altercation with traders. While a car and a police van were also stoned, a two-wheeler and an autorickshaw were set ablaze.

There was tension at K.R. Hospital mortuary, where the post-mortem was conducted, as a large crowd had gathered demanding compensation for the next of kin of Raju and the arrest of the culprits. The protesters claimed Raju had sought police protection six months ago perceiving threat to his life, but no security was provided.

BJP leaders, including Mysuru MP Pratap Simha and C.T. Ravi, MLA, held a meeting with Deputy Commissioner C. Shikha, who later announced compensation of Rs. 5 lakh to the next of kin of the deceased.

Meanwhile, prohibitory orders have been extended in Mysuru for the next 48 hours.

"This is a brutal murder. The disputed place should be vacated by the administration... The accused should be arrested, along with his supporters. The government should pay compensation," said BJP leader C.P. Ravi.

"Raju was a very good worker. We are saddened by his loss. He has been fighting for this issue since 2009...We won't allow the body to be taken till compensation is paid," said former BJP MLA Maruti Rao.

Meanwhile, Home Minister G Parameshwara said all steps have been taken to arrest the assailants soon and no political colour should be given to the incident.

State DGP Om Prakash said additional police force, including Karnataka State Reserve Police, had been deployed to maintain law and order and appealed for communal harmony.

What more proof need for our honorable Home minister to declare RSS as Terrorist Organisation?? He is just waiting more bloodshed and property loss in our State?? who is going to pay compensation for those who lost their property ?? is there is any rule and law applicable for RSS goons in our country??

This report is more violent than the BJP's protest. Why the hell coastaldigest always depicts saffron groups as anti-social elements?

Common, follow some ethics of journalism!

well these days we see lynching, honour killing, individual rivalry etc., In this case we dont have full details, wonder why so many guys are over reacting just because BJP worker is attached to a person!
What you have said is true, you start a ill activity, it chases you back and the parties mentioned you are known to create Hatred in the soceity.

So only BJP workers should go on killing whomever they want? Cops should arrest the culprit irrespective who is killed.

When MM Kulburgi was murdered by these saffron terrorists, the BJP leaders mocked the ‘award wapsi’ protest and called it ‘anti-nationalism’. For them, this kind of violence is nationalism. It is sad that my India has become a breeding ground for terrorists these years.

Karnataka seeks Centre's permission for public transport in new lockdown guidelines

News Network

May 17,2020

Bengaluru, May 17: Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister and Transport Minister Laxman Savadi on Sunday wrote to Union Minister Nitin Gadkari requesting to issue new lockdown guidelines including permission to operate public transport and said the lockdown has caused a financial loss of Rs 16,00 crore to all four Karnataka Transport Undertakings.

In view of these problems, the state Transport Minister requested Gadkari to permit the deployment of Non-AC buses on scheduled routes to ensure the adequacy of services.

The four State Transport Undertakings (STUs) in Karnataka which are providing bus-based public transport services within the state and to the neighbouring states are Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC), North West Karnataka Road Transport Corporation (NWKRTC), North Eastern Karnataka Road Transport Corporation (NEKRTC) and Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC).

"KSRTC, NWKRTC and NEKRTC operate buses for mofussil services i.e. Interdistrict, intradistrict and interstate, whereas BMTC operates only in urban and suburban areas in the city of Bengaluru. The four STUs put together hold a fleet of about 24,900 buses including 1,520 air-conditioned buses and operate about 71.00 lakh km. per day and carries about 98.00 lakh passengers every single day," Savadi outlined in the letter.

The Minister said due to the COVID-19 outbreak and the lockdown that ensued have brought regular bus operations and functioning to a grinding halt.

"This has caused a devastating impact on the operations of all the four STUs due to the combination of lack of revenue and continuing fixed costs such as salaries and pensions to staff, payables against existing loans etc. It has been estimated that the lockdown has caused a financial loss of INR 1,600/- crore to these four STUs," he added.

Savadi said even after post-COVID lockdown, operations and revenues won't reach its previous demand& supply patterns in the next six to eight months due to reduced economic activity and users' perceived risk of contacting COVID in public transport.

In addition to that, "occupancy should be allowed up to seating capacity (without standees). This is essential to meet minimal demand," he said in the letter.

"The crew should wear facemask and hand gloves. The crew with health issues should not be deployed. The face masks should be made mandatory for all the passengers. Only asymptomatic persons should be allowed to travel in public transport. The Government of India may consider staggering working hours for various sectors to reduce peak hour traffic demand," the minister listed out these recommendations in the letter.

Savadi said that with social distancing norm of reduced seating capacity in public transport, it will not be possible to provide transport facility to all the daily passengers. This will create demand for more buses, which cannot be met.

"Restrictions on public transport will lead to passenger commute by overcrowding in smaller vehicles like cars, maxi cabs, goods tempos etc. which will adversely affect preventive measures," he added.

Therefore, Savadi requested Union Minister to look into the above matter and issue fresh guidelines to all the states / UT's.

HDK urges state and central govts to step up relief efforts for people affected by rain fury

News Network

August 7,2020

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.
