Bengaluru, Sep 8: Actress-turned-politician Nagma has requested the people of Tamil Nadu to remember the helping hand given by Karnataka when Chennai and a few other places were affected by floods in 2015.

ngmaAt a press meet, Nagma stated that Tamil Nadu received a lot of help from Karnataka and especially from the people of Bengaluru. She also pointed out that her party will treat both the states equally.

"For the Congress, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu are treated equally. Congress is impartial. The water dispute is a complex issue," The News Minute quoted the actress as saying at the press meet.

Nagma took potshots at the Prime Minister as she said that people took of stock of situations from the air when Chennai was badly affected by the unprecedented floods last year. But her party General Secretary Rahul Gandhi was on the ground to assess the situation.

The Supreme Court directed the Karnataka government to release 15,000 cusecs of Cauvery water per day to Tamil Nadu for 10 days recently. This has lead to massive protests by pro-Kannada groups and farmers in Karnataka. They have given a call for bandh on Friday, Sept.9.

However, Karnataka released water from the Cauvery river to Tamil Nadu amid massive protests against the Supreme Court order. "With a heavy heart we are releasing additional water in deference to the SC direction. I appeal to farmers to be calm and restrained," Chief Minister Siddaramaiah tweeted.

The Karnataka government is also planning to approach the Cauvery Supervisory Committee to explain the present situation and also file a petition for a modification in the order. Siddaramaiah further tweeted: "We will apprise the supervisory committee and the Supreme Court of the distress on the ground."

New Delhi, Mar 20: An official of South Western Railway has been suspended for "hiding" her son, who returned from Germany and later tested positive for coronavirus.

The youth has been hiding at a railway guest house in Bengaluru, officials said on Friday.

"She (the railway official) not only failed to inform authorities about her son's return from Germany, but also endangered the lives of others by lodging him in a railway rest house near the main Bangalore railway station," railway spokesperson E Vijaya said.

The Assistant Personnel Officer (Traffic) has been suspended, Vijaya said.

The 25-year-old man, who came from Germany via Spain and was instructed to be in home quarantine after he landed at the Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru on March 13, later tested positive for Covid-19 on March 18.

"She virtually hid her son to protect her family but endangered all of us," a South Western Railway official said.
