Women's status wont improve with excessive freedom: MP Kateel

March 8, 2011

Mangalore, March 8: Mangalore M P Nalin Kumar Kateel on Tuesday stated that freedom for women should not pave way for self-willed or arbitrary behaviour, which can ruin the glorious culture of this country.

He was speaking after inaugurating the International Women's Day organised under the joint auspices of Dakshina Kannada Zilla Panchayath, Department of Women and Child Development, District Legal Service Authority, District Federation of Mahila Mandals and Karnataka State Commission for Women at Town Hall here.

Stating that women enjoyed a high respect and reverence in India since the Vedic and Puranic period, Kateel pointed out that unlike western countries, Indian culture never bestowed excessive freedom to women at any juncture.

He also reminded that ancient Hindu religions scriptures not only gave prominence to woman but elevated her to the position of goddess as well.

“It is not possible to improve the status of women by giving them excessive freedom”, he said, adding that allowing women to do whatever they want in the name of freedom is not Indian culture.

The MP suggested that being Indians, we should consider the International Women's Day as an opportunity to discuss upon, preserve and promote the Indian culture.

Shakunthala A, Deputy Director, Department of Women and Child Development, Mangalore welcomed the gathering after delivering introductory remarks.

A book 'Nisargadatta Ahara' compiled by Vidya Nayak was also released on the occasion.

Zilla Panchayat President KT Shailaja Bhat presided over the programme. Zilla Panchayat Vice President Dhanalakshmi Janardana D, Gynaecologist Dr Rathidevi, Federation of Mahila Mandals President Premalatha Rao were among those present.

Bengaluru,  Jun 19: Following the coronavirus outbreak, Bengaluru's Kempegowda International Airport has introduced ultraviolet treatment while scanning outbound baggage apart from other measures to enhance passenger and staff safety.

"Two custom-designed UV tunnels have been created to disinfect trolleys after every use. Two custom-designed UV tunnels have been created to disinfect trolleys after every use. These Tunnels are located at a cordoned-off area of the Terminal," according to a statement by the Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL).

The airport plans to use an ultra-low volume (ULV) spray treatment for check-in bags: all outbound passenger baggage is sanitised before dispatch to the aircraft

Authorities also plan to minimise use of additional trays for footwear by introducing specially designed trays; the trays that are in use are UV treated and sanitised manually after every use.

Officials are currently in the process of implementing silver nano-coating for frequently used touchpoints for self disinfection like check-in counters, Immigration counters, ATRS trays, etc. Currently, sanitisation of high-traffic areas and frequently touched surfaces continues to be done every thirty minutes manually without disrupting the flow of passengers.

All high-traffic areas are sanitised once every three hours by using ULV machines - eight times in 24 hours.

Washrooms across the Airport premises are sanitised on a regular basis with dedicated manpower, irrespective of the frequency of use. 456 units of tabletop hand sanitiser and 107 units of sensor-based hand sanitisers have been placed across the Terminal.

120 biowaste bins located across the Airport campus enable passengers and staff to dispose of their masks, gloves and other PPE conveniently and safely. This bio-waste is managed by a dedicated team and handed over to a Pollution Control Board-approved vendor and taken away for incineration.

The Airport said that the passenger feedback for the contactless process has been positive. "The objective of the process is to minimise physical contact and enhance passenger throughput," it said.

These sanitisation measures come in light of the highly infectious COVID-19 pandemic which spreads through person-to-person contact. Small droplets from the nose or mouth can spread the virus when they land on objects and surfaces around the person.
