Mangalore, July 29: LPG consumers struggling with status verification of their respective connections need to wait another 24 hours. The department of food and civil supplies in Dakshina Kannada has set up teams that will undertake physical verification in cases where the online status of the connection reads "the electrical RR number for LPG connection is under verification as more than one LPG connection is linked with this RR number," from Friday onwards.

The department, since Friday last up to Wednesday, has received 3,412 applications from those seeking updation of their LPG connection status. During the same period, 7,847 consumers have applied online through the department's website www.ahara.kar.nic.in. The department in turn has completed verification of 120 online applications and 100 received manually at the eight special counters set up outside its office in the DC office premises.

Delay on part of the department in starting local inspection in the above cases, Sharanabasappa, deputy director of the department said here on Thursday, was due to their preoccupation with accepting applications and documents from people whose LPG connections had been deemed faulty for various reasons. Teams of food inspectors have been now constituted and they will start the process of local inspection from Friday, the official stated.

The district has 3,25,977 LPG connections of which 1,21,500 connections have been suspended as consumers did not submit documents for verification when sought. Out of the remaining 2,04,477 processed, 1,90,160 LPG connections match with RR number. The number of LPGs matched with single RR is 1,36,341 and those with no power or Bhagya Jyothi is 1,009. RRs with more than one LPG connection to be verified are 44,435.

The department has suspended 3,667 LPG connections with no RR, 10,080 for RR mismatch, and 8,375 for possessing commercial RR against domestic RR numbers. All oil companies have been strictly instructed not to suspend LPG connections in cases where LPG connection has been marked for verification. On the question of returning deposit in cases where connections are found to be illegal, he said it is between oil companies and the consumer.

Mangaluru, Apr 4: The mother and grandmother of the 10-month-old baby boy, under treatment at a private hospital in Deralakatte here for COVID-19 infection, tested negative.

Doctors at the hospital said the condition of the infant, who was admitted with an acute respiratory infection, was stable and there had been a good response to the treatment being given in isolation.

The child, hailing from Sajipanadu Village in Bantwal Taluk was admitted to a hospital at Deralakatte in Mangaluru for treatment on March 23 as it had developed respiratory problems. 

On March 24, the child’s condition worsened and hence his throat swabs was sent for COVID-19 testing. On March 27, reports of the tests confirmed that the child was infected with COVID-19.

Health authorities are of the view that the baby might have contracted the disease when the family travelled recently to Kasaragod in Kerala, a district identified as a hotspot for Coronavirus.

Mr Eshwrappa said that party high command will take a call on selecting candidates, but priority should be given to the leader who won on Congress and Janata Dal and then jumped to BJP which helped to form govt under the leadership of B S Yediyurappa.

Bengaluru, May 28: A complaint has been filed against BJP Karnataka state president and Lok Sabha member Nalin Kumar Kateel by the Congress Legislators charging him with issuing false information on Coronavirus to mislead the people.

The complaint was filed by MLCs Ivan D’Souza and Prakash Rathod at Vidhana Soudha police station on Thursday.

In the complaint they had alleged that “Kateel has been spreading false information that the position of World Health Organization’s (WHO) Chairman was given to India in appreciation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s achievement in Coronavirus management. 

In reality, the position was given to India on the basis of rotation. India’s stature gets affected because of such childish statements at the international level.”
