Mangalore, March 5: Veera Yodha Yadav Friends Trust will celebrate the decennial celebrations on March 11 at Ammunje here, by laying the foundation for “Amarashree”, a building in tribute to the brave soldier who laid down his life in the service of the nation, informed Praveen Chowta, secretary, and Ashok Kumar Kolambekodi, president, here on Monday.

The Trust was formed in 2002 in memory of Yadav Poojary, son of Sommappa Poojary and Rukmini couple, who fell prey to enemy bullets on March 10, a few months after completing his training and getting posted in the desert of Rajasthan.

Yadav completed his primary education in Ammunje and Pre University education at Government P U College Benjanapadavu. Having faced financial difficulties at home he went looking for a job. He undertook some odd jobs.

Following an advice from Sebastian Kuthino, retired Air Force Flying Officer, he applied for a job in the Indian Army and got selected for the service.

The friends of Yadav set up an organisation called 'VeeraYodha Yadav Friends' a day after his funeral. For three years some like-minded people took the organization forward by organising health camps, eye camps and village level Kabaddi tournaments.

In the fourth year, friends of Yadav Poojary formed Veera Yodha Yadav Friends Trust. This organization has been conducting religious, social, educational, sports and cultural activities. They have helped in building houses for the poor and blood camps for them as well. Every year SSLC and PU Students get scholarships and school children receive uniforms.

The organization is 10 years old now and with the intention of immortalising Veera Yadav's name a memorial building by the name “Amarashree” is being built at Ammunje Shri Vinayak Temple premises.

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
