Sanchalana' to demand govt art gallery in City

June 20, 2011

Mangalore, June 22: Pressing the demand for a government art gallery in Mangalore, Karavali Chithrakalavidara Chavadi will organise a painting exhibition 'Sanchalana' from June 24 to 29, at Prasad Art Gallery in Mangalore.

Addressing a press conference here on Monday, Chavadi President Ganesh Somayaji said the artists in Dakshina Kannada were demanding for a government art gallery for the last 25 years. “Recently, we had urged the former Deputy Commissioner Subodh Yadav to consider our long pending demand and he had responded positively to our demand. The district which had been a hub for many art forms, does not have a kala bhavan or an art gallery,” he said.

Many districts, including Bangalore, Mysore, Belgaum, Gulbarga and Dharwad have art galleries, Somayaji added.

With the district administration proposing to build a Rangamandira at Bondel, the chawadi has asked for space for an art gallery on the same premises.

The artists have asked for about 2,000 sq ft for a display hall.

“The government art gallery wherein an artist will have to pay minimum rent for the exhibition will help him to showcase his talent. This will help artists from poor background to exhibit their piece of art as well,” he added.

The expo will be inaugurated by Deputy Commissioner Dr N S Channappa Gowda while DK district Kannada Sahithya Parishat President Pradeep Kumar Kalkura will preside.

Daijiworld.com Chief Editor Walter Nandalike and Alva's College Fine Arts department Dean Prof Ramdas Adyanthaya will be the chief guests.

As many as 33 artists will exhibit their paintings. The participating artists are K Shenoy, Vishnu Shevagoor, Ganesh Somayaji, Permude Mohankumar, Sayyed Asif Ali, Sharath Holla, Ananth Padmanabha, Rajendra Kedige, Anil Devadiga, Santhosh Andrade, Taranath Kairangala, Dinesh Holla, Harish Kodialbail, Jeevan A S, Sathish Rao, Veena Srinivas, Sudha Nagesh Nayak, Sapna Noronha, Reshna Shetty, Harish Marne, G Kandan, Zuber Kudla, Thyagaraj M, Pranesh K S, Jeevan Kumar, Wilson Kayyar, Ramachandra Kamath, Pramodraj, Vishwas M, Sudheer Kavoor, Muralidhar AChar, Asha Shetty and Renuka.

As many as 40 paintings will be on display from 10 am to 7 pm.

Bengaluru, Aug 3: All those who met Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa, who has tested positive for Covid-19, in the last three-four days will have to be quarantined, Medical Education Minister Sudhakar K said on Monday.

He also said those who came in contact with Yediyurappa in a couple of programmes in the past week are being traced.

Sudhakar, a medical doctor himself, said Yediyurappa has "very mild cough and his chest is clear."

"I think eight to ten days," he told news agency when asked how long the Chief Minister would have to remain in hospital.

Sudhakar said he is also getting himself tested as a few of his office staff had tested positive.

"All those who met the Chief Minister in the last 3-4 days...ideally they should be quarantined till they receive their results/report. Those who came in contact with him in a couple of programmes will have to isolate themselves and subject themselves for testing," the Minister said.

On the Chief Minister meeting Governor Vajubhai Vala, along with Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai last Friday, Sudhakar said as a result "They also become primary contacts. Ideally, they should also be quarantined and tested."

Yediyurappa who was hospitalised on Sunday night after testing positive for Covid-19 was "doing well" and is "clinically stable", the hospital treating him said.

The 77-year old leader is being monitored by a team of doctors at the Manipal hospital here.

"He is doing well, is clinically stable and will be monitored closely by our team," the hospital said in a statement late last night.

"I have tested positive for coronavirus. Whilst I am fine, I am being hospitalised as a precaution on the recommendation of doctors. I request those who have come in contact with me recently to be observant and exercise self-quarantine," Yediyurappa had said in his tweet.

Yediyurappa was in home quarantine a couple of weeks ago, after some staff members in his home office were found infected with the virus. Subsequently, he tested negative for Covid-19.
