February 2, 2011

Koteshwar, February 2: The long awaited dream of establishing a Parish in Koteshwar came true on Sunday, January 30 as the Episcopal Vicar, Very Rev. Dr. Baptist Menezes read the decree from the Bishop of Mangalore and declared St. Anthony's Chapel into a Parish.

St. Anthony's Parish in Koteshwar has altogether 72 families most of who belong to Pius Nagar Parish. For the past ten years, the Carmelite Fathers used to offer daily mass at this chapel. Since the parish is entrusted to the care of the Carmelites of the Karnataka Goa Province, their Provincial, Rev. Dr. Archibald Gonsalves was also present.

Fr. Vincent D'Souza, who had earlier rendered ten year long service in Bahrain, took charge as the first parish priest. Fr. Provincial recognized the services of Fr. Maxim Noronha in establishing St. Anthony's Chapel, Fr. Walter Mendonca, the present parish priest of Pius Nagar for facilitating the process and Fr. Boniface D'Souza, OCD for taking leadership.

The Episcopal Vicar thanked everyone and wished this new parish all the best. The Carmelite Fathers, Fr. Cyril Menezes, Fr. Melwin D'Cunha and Fr. Deep Fernandes were also present.

Mangaluru, Jul 21: Private hospitals cannot send back COVID-19 patients for any reason, district in-charge minister Kota Srinivas Poojary said on Monday.

The Minister was addressing a meeting at the Father Muller Medical College here on the arrangements made for COVID-19 patients.

Dakshina Kannada district is quite advanced in the medical field. Hence, the government will not tolerate COVID-19 patients wandering from one hospital to another for treatment. Refusing to admit COVID-19 patients in hospitals is unacceptable, he warned.

Bengaluru, Jul 13: Former Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Monday said that the state government should provide vitamin C drug, Ayush Ministry-certified immunity boosters and sanitisers to every household in the wake of the coronavirus spread.

"Karnataka government should provide vitamin C drug, Ayush Ministry-certified immunity boosters and sanitisers to every household to fight against COVID-19," Kumaraswamy told media.

The JDS leader further stated that "appropriate medication should be provided to those who are "symptomatic" by the Karnataka government and added that "by taking such measures the government can halt the spread of the virus."

If the government is not able to provide the health kit to everyone then at least they should give it to the BPL families, he added.

Kumaraswamy also stressed upon organising awareness campaigns about the coronavirus and use of supplements among the masses to prevent themselves from contracting the infection.

According to the Union Health Ministry, Karnataka has recorded 38,843 cases of COVID-19 to date.

Mangalore, Jan 1: Under the aegis of the Dakshina Kannada District Jatyateeya Paksha Sanghatanegala Janti Vedik, Members of Congress, Communist Party of India, CPI (M), Janata Dal (Secular) and other secular organisations will stage a dharna on January 2 here demanding a judicial inquiry into the firing on December 19.

Talking to reporters on Tuesday evening, former Bantwal MLA B Ramanath Rai said the dharna will be held before the statue of B R Ambedkar, near the Town hall, from 1000 hrs to 1600 hrs.

Mr Rai said allegations are being made that the trouble in the city on December 19 was orchestrated by certain political parties and leaders. The city police are also being accused of acting under the influence of the ruling government in invoking prohibitory orders to quell the protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and later firing at the protesters that led to two deaths.
