Mangalore, December 20: Preparations are going on in full strength for the 17th National Youth Festival which will commence in Mangalore from January 12. The event which is organised for the first time in the district will be organised with all grandeur and in a disciplined manner, said District-in-Charge Minister Krishna J Palemar.

Presiding over a preparatory meeting of the people's representatives at Zilla Panchayat Hall on Monday, the Minister said that necessary arrangements will be made for accommodating the participants and guests at hotels and college and university hostels.

He also said that provisions will be made to issue the government and private bus passes to students who wish to visit Mangalore to watch the events.

On the inaugural programme, Deputy Commissioner Chennappa Gowda said that the inaugural procession will be held with grandeur depicting the culture and tradition of Tulunadu. Alva's Education Foundation has taken up the responsibility of organising the procession, which will have over 500 artistes. It will be accompanied by 200 artistes playing 'Chende' and 'Kombu'. “As many as 16 committees have been constituted and each committee is assigned with a task. Some of the committees include organising committee, executive committee, registration committee, food and accommodation committee, transport sub committee, protocol sub committee,” he said.

Meanwhile, the DC also said that holidays will not be declared for the schools and colleges on account of the festival. Two days of the festival will fall on the government holidays i.e on January 14 and 15. However, no holiday will be declared, but permission will be granted for the teachers to attend the festival.

Zilla Panchayat member Mamatha Gatti insisted on involving Youth Club members of the district in the festival activities, for which the DC agreed to send intimation to the youth clubs. Corporator Appi requested to provide a platform for the talented differently abled youth to exhibit their talent during the festival. The District-in-Charge Minister replied positively. It was also decided to illuminate the entire city.

MLA Ramanath Rai and Zilla Panchayat member M S Mohammad complained that they were not officially informed about the preparatory meeting.

Bengaluru, Jul 17: Karnataka Minister for Health and Family Welfare B Sriramulu on Thursday clarified that his remarks have been misinterpreted, wherein he apparently said that ''only God can save people from Covid''.

The Bharatiya Janata Party leader slammed KPCC President D K Shivakumar for spreading false information and said that my words were not meant to cause panic among the masses.

''Respected Shivakumar, this is a clarification regarding my words that have been misinterpreted and misunderstood.

While responding to claims of the opposition that the government’s negligence, irresponsibility and the lack of coordination among ministers are responsible for the rise in cases in the state, I stated that ‘these accusations are far from the truth. People need to be aware and cautious to avoid the spread of the virus. This plays a vital role in controlling the pandemic. If we fail at this crucial step the situation can get complicated. And if things go worse, then only God can save us'', Mr Sriramulu said in a series of posts on Twitter

Mangaluru, May 20: The local unit of Bharatiya Janata Party has defended the delay in repatriation of coastal Kannadigas from Middle Eastern countries saying that it is impossible to bring all expatriate together at a time when covid-19 cases are continuing to spike in the region. 

Addressing a press conference, Sudarshan M, president of Dakshina Kannada unit of BJP said that the entire district administration was working as a team under the leadership local MP Nalin Kumar Kateel and district minister Kota Shrinivas Poojary and seven BJP MLAs in this critical juncture.

“Without any bias, we also have reached out to the needs of people of Mangaluru assembly constituency represented by former minister and Congress MLA U T Khader,” he said, adding that his party will not forget Indian expatriates in the Gulf too. 

Replying to the charge of not catering to the interests of Kannadigas stranded in the Middle East by way of arranging special flights, Sudarshan said this is part of a well-thought-out move to bring them in batches.

“It is impossible to bring back all Kannadigas stranded in Middle East all of a sudden. Their repatriation will be in phased manner based on facilities available in the district,” he said.

“The district authorities have created healthcare and quarantine facilities for a limited number, be it at Covid-19 hospital or institutional quarantine, and bringing them together will create logistical problems,” he said.
