Mangalore, December 3: The otherwise quite Nehru maidan was glittering with lights, sounds and dance when Boyzone Dance Crew along with Western Institute Of Technology put up a grand show called Elite Dance Challenge. Popular in the dance circuit Dharmesh Sir from Mumbai was one of the star attractions of this show.

The evening began with a dance competition for juniors. Categories involved solo and group performances. Children aged 8 and below came on stage and performed to their best different dance moves.

The emcee of the evening Shaqeel did a wonderful job of entertaining the crowd with his jokes and shayaris.

Bengaluru, May 26: Ministers of the central government or state governments or officers on their official duty, who are travelling across states, will be exempted from requirements of quarantine, the Karnataka government said on Monday.

The state government issued an addendum to Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for inter-state passengers.

"Any person who gets a negative COVID test certificate (from ICMR approved lab) which is not more than two days old from the date of journey will be exempted from the requirement of institutional quarantine," read the addendum.

The state government has laid down new norms for those coming from other states (including those coming by domestic air flights).

Passengers coming from 'high prevalence states' (Maharashtra, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Delhi, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh) would be required to undergo a seven-day "institutional quarantine", which will be followed by home quarantine.

The new norms also said that home quarantine of 14 days would be necessary for the passengers coming from other states.

Somashekhara Gowda, a senior BJP leader in Koppal’s Gangavathi died of covid-19. His family members were reportedly quarantined. His own party activists also were not ready to participate in the last rite due to the fear of coronavirus infection.
