The ZP President said that the roads in the district are in deplorable condition. The Chief Minister has promised to release Rs 1314 lakh to fill the potholes in the district. The CM has also promised to sanction Rs 20 crore as special package to the district to develop main roads. The funds will be distributed equally among all the Zilla Panchayat constituencies.

Yellow leaf disease

To a query on the farmers of Dakshina Kannada who rejected a proposal of the government to replace yellow leaf disease hit arecanut trees, with new schemes under a scheme of National Horticulture Mission, Zilla Panchayat Standing Committee on Agriculture President Navin Kumar Menala said that the Zilla Panchayat has written to the government to provide financial aid to the farmers to grow alternative crops instead of replacing the disease hit palms. The Horticulture department has already suggested for growing palm trees, taking up dairy farming, growing rubber and paddy. As the farmers are not interested in replacing the arecanut plants, the scheme will not be implemented in the district.

Zilla Panchayat President Shailaja Bhat said that the Zilla Panchayat had resolved to dissolve Hirebandady Gram Panchayat. The resolution has been sent to the Deputy Commissioner for gazette notification. Once the gazette notification is announced, then the Gram Panchayat will be dissolved and administrator will be appointed to look into the affairs of the Gram Panchayat. The Gram Panchayat has failed to hold its monthly meeting due to lack of quorum

Mangaluru, May 23: Criticising the Karnataka government's fresh protocol for management of Covid-19 as expensive, a prominent physician in the city has demanded its withdrawal.

According to Dr B Srinivas Kakkilaya, the protocol released by the Health and Family Welfare Department on May 15 enlists unnecessary and unconfirmed tests and treatments. 

The protocol has classified Covid-19 cases into three categories and has provided for hospitalisation of all three categories of patients, from asymptomatic to the most severely ill.

In a letter to the government, Dr Kakkilaya said: "The protocol suggests several investigations to be done right on the day of admission, including blood counts, liver and renal function tests, chest X Ray, ECG, CT scan of the chest, and other special investigations, all of which, if done, will cost Rs 25,000 per patient."

"In the coming days when lakhs of patients are likely to be infected with SARS CoV2, is it necessary and feasible to hospitalise and test all these patients at Rs 25,000 per person," he questioned.

The treatment options suggested in the protocol are also surprising, he pointed out. "The protocol recommends choloroquine, azithromycin, oseltamivir, zinc and vitamin C for all patients, from asymptomatic to the severely ill, and also anti coagulant injections for many patients. All these would cost at least Rs 5,000 per patient. For severe cases of Covid-19, many unproven and experimental treatments have been suggested, which are very expensive and highly questionable," Dr Kakkilaya notes.

Therefore, this protocol, he asserted was not evidence based and likely to do more harm than good. He said these unnecessarily expensive tests and allowing private companies to conduct trials on Covid-19 patients is likely to be misused by vested interests and must be immediately withdrawn, and instead, a protocol that is evidence-based, simple and avoiding unnecessary expenses, must be developed.
