Mangalore, June 30: Central team 'assesses' 2 Grama panchayants in DK in half day Standing Committee of the Ministry for Rural Development headed by senior BJP leader Sumithra Mahajan visited Dakshina Kannada district on Wednesday to assess the implementation of various centre funded projects, to understand problems in implementation, gather suggestions with regard to improving the implementation process and make necessary recommendations to centre.

The team is on a two-day tour to Dakshina Kannada district and Udupi, which are the only two districts that the team will visit in Karnataka. The team will from here proceed to Kerala.

The team's tour in the district seemed more of a pilgrimage than an official visit. The team landed at Dharmasthala on Tuesday evening, sought blessings of Lord Manjunatha and also looked into the functioning of SKDRDP. On Wednesday morning, the team was spotted at Kudroli Gokarnatha temple and in the evening the team was to visit Kateel teample.

Making time, in between all this pilgrimage, they visited two Gram Panchayats out of 203 GPs of the district to 'assess' implementation of schemes.

The team visited Kinnigoli and Ganjimatt, after 2.30 pm on Wednesday. On Thursday, the group will visit Sanoor and Muniyal in Udupi district.

However, addressing the reporters on Wednesday at BJP office, Mahajan did not come out clear on the criterion on which the two places in the district were selected for the tour as there were many other Panchayats which had done exceptionally well and many Panchayats which have failed considerably in implementing many schemes.

When asked about her opinion on the implementation of NREGS in the State, she said that she cannot make any comment on the same as it needs to be confidential.

Now the credible question is that what an 11 member team can get to know about any Panchayat in half day visit?

During the press meet, Mahajan coming down heavily upon the Congress led UPA Government, said that whether the Congress has pair of buffaloes as its symbol or the cow and calf, one thing Congress invariably did was hiking the prices of necessary commodities.


“Corruption has reached its peak. Congress does not have majority. Hence, it is busy luring Mulayam, Maya and Jaya,” she said adding that Congress gave new dimension and magnitude to corruption in the country.

MP D V Sadananda Gowda and others were present.

Belgaum, Mar 30: As many as 2442 labourers hailing from Karnataka have been brought back in 62 buses by the State government from Maharashtra on Sunday, in the backdrop of nation-wide lockdown following COVID-19 outbreak.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Saturday urged migrant labourers not to leave the State owing to the nationwide lockdown and assured that the Maharashtra government will look after their interests.

Hundreds of migrants, a majority of whom are daily wage workers started rushing to their native places from different states amid uncertainty over their livelihood following the announcement of a 21-day nationwide lockdown by Prime Minister Narendra Modi last week in order to contain the spread of novel coronavirus.

Tumakuru, Jun 30: As many as 43 sheep were quarantined after a shepherd tested positive for novel coronavirus at Godekere Gollarahatti in Tumakuru district. 

J C Madhuswamy, district in-charge minister, has instructed the district administration and the Animal Husbandry department to subject the sheep to Covid-19 tests.

The move followed after five sheep found dead in mysterious circumstances at the village. All 43 sheep of the infected person have been isolated from the herd and kept at a place in Jakkanahalli.

"There is no evidence that the sheep can contract Covid-19 and transmit the virus to the people. But since the virus has many strains and keep changing its genetic make-up, draw throat swab samples of the sheep and send the same to Covid-19 lab. Till the report comes, keep the livestock in isolation," Madhuswamy told the officials.
