Mangalore, February 12: Several events associated with Dakshina Kannada appeared in the paintings of artist Sapna Noronha, whose solo art exhibition began in the city on Friday.

Ms. Noronha has dedicated the exhibition to her teacher, late B.G. Mohammed. Shabbir Ali, son of artist B.G. Mohammed, inaugurated the exhibition.

Themes such as “Bhoothakola”, “Kambla” and “Mosaru kudike festival” are the subjects of her paintings.

As S.S. Nayak, chartered accountant and one of the chief guests, said: “Some have interesting details which would have delighted her teacher. One such painting is 'Yield of the garden', where a woman with green bananas perched on her head is walking down a path. The sunlight filters in through a patch of sky above amidst the canopy of trees, lighting a few fronds of coconut leaves. Another is that of a man carrying straw on a cycle, 'Feet of Bahubali', and 'Woman at the waterfalls”.

He said that it was laudable that Ms. Sapna has dedicated the exhibition to her teacher at a time when acknowledging the teacher had become uncommon.

Ms. Noronha said that though she liked painting several themes, the tribute to Mohammed consisted mostly of subjects drawn from life in Dakshina Kannada.

She said, “This collection has more of Mangalore on the canvas. It has scenes that are fast disappearing from the city such as the painting of a bullock cart with hay, which I remember seeing in Mangalore in my childhood.”

She said that her teacher Mohammed would say that if he could have his students for two years, he would make artists out of them.

Narendra Kamath, skin specialist, recalled a time when Mohammed brought a painting to him.

When the artist was told he could have minted money in Mumbai with the paintings, he replied that the art was not for money but to share with the people of Mangalore.

Mr. Ali painted a landscape in minutes before the audience. Ms. Noronha has held group exhibitions and participated in “Chitra Santhe” in Bangalore.

She has held a solo exhibition of her works earlier in September 2010.

The exhibition is open to the public till February 15.

Bengaluru, Aug 7: Action will be taken against private hospitals that were violating government norms and charging exorbitant fees charges for the treatment of Covid-19 patients and suspects, said Water Resources Minister Ramesh Jarkiholi.

The government has taken action against private hospitals in Bengaluru and the same parameters would be adopted other cities, he said speaking to media persons in Belagavi on Friday.

Jarkiholi said that the government had noticed that patients were levied exorbitant charges for Covid-19 treatment. People too have complaints regarding the huge bills by these private hospitals and have demanded action.

“We are not under the obligation of any private hospital and stringent action will be taken against all erring and violating government tariffs. They will have to treat patients and follow the tariffs fixed,” he stated.

Belagavi Institute of Medical Sciences District Hospital had been directed to install CCTV cameras in Covid-19 wards and install monitors at reception to facilitate monitoring of treatment and condition of the wards. BIMS management was taken to task for not following the directive and have been given a deadline to install CCTV cameras, Jarkiholi informed.

Bengaluru, May 19: Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa-led Karnataka government has recommended the withdrawal of 46 cases against leaders belonging to Sangh Parivar who had apparently involved in violence during the birth anniversary celebration of Tipu Sultan in the state. 

These cases – ranging from very serious forms of assaults on Muslims to unlawful assembly – were registered across Karnataka between 2014 and 2018.

Among the cases recommended to be withdrawn include those registered against senior state BJP leader Sanjay Patil, VHP leader Swaroop Kalkundri, and several district level Bajrang Dal activists. 

The government recommended withdrawal of these cases under Section 321 of the Code of Criminal Procedure on March 5. 

The recommendations, however, have been opposed by three crucial law enforcement departments – Director General and Inspector General of Police (DG & IGP), Director-Department of prosecution and Government litigation and Law department. 

While the DG & IGP has opined that these cases “cannot be withdrawn”, both the department of prosecution and law have observed that these are “not a fit case to withdraw”.
