Bhatkal, June 7: Police in the town have asked all the soft drink sellers not to sell 'Maa' mango fruit juice after a dead snake was found in a 200 ml tetra pack purchased by a local resident.

One of the two persons, who fell ill after consuming the juice from the snake-filled Maa pack three days ago, has still not recovered and undergoing treatment at a hospital in Kundapur.

Sayyad Mohammad Safwan, a resident of Good Luck road in Bhatkal had bought some tetra packs of the juice for consumption last Monday.

When his sister Saheefa (22) was drinking the juice using a straw, she felt some problem in sipping the juice. Her mother Umme Salma (45) also tried to sip the juice with help of straw. She grew suspicious and opened the packet slightly to witness a six-inch long dead snake inside the pack.

Within minutes both mother and daughter began vomiting and they were shifted to a hospital immediately.

Later, Safwan informed about the snake-filled pack to the owner of 'A-1 Bakery', from where he had bought it and in turn the owner informed the manufacturers.

On Wednesday Bhatkal town police asked all the soft drink sellers not to sell any tetra pack of 'Maa' bearing manufacturing date of March 17, 2012 and batch number B1233.

Shock

Sources said that the mother and daughter who shared the poisonous juice are still under shock. Though the mother has slightly recovered, she is still not taking food properly.

Dr Jalaluddin, who is treating the victims, said that the duo need some time to forget the incident and recover completely. However, he confirmed that both were out of danger.

New Delhi, Jul 22: Sir Philip Barton visited Bengaluru on Tuesday in the first of the series of virtual regional visits as the UK's new High Commissioner and called Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa, business leaders, and startup community to pitch for new momentum in the already strong UK-Karnataka relationship.

During his virtual call, High Commissioner Barton got a 'real' taste of Bengaluru through a traditional Masala Dosa delivered to his residence in Delhi along with authentic south Indian filter coffee, which he relished over a chat with historian and commentator Ramachandra Guha. They discussed the unique UK-India "living bridge" across culture and cuisine, history and heritage, and sports and science.

Both Yeddyurappa and the British envoy restated their commitment to working together on the immediate challenges of Covid-19 and beyond.

Barton subsequently 'traveled' to Electronics City, where he met with a range of key business leaders to discuss deepening the UK-India tech partnership and opportunities for global investors in the UK.

Barton also met with a group of entrepreneurs, business founders and innovators, who were part of the first GoGlobal UK cohort to explore the dynamic UK market considered one of the best ecosystems for startups in the world. 

They had earlier attended a week-long boot-camp in London and Manchester in December 2019 that helped them bolster their business skills, build links with UK's thriving digital sector, and paved the way for future partnerships.

"I am delighted to make my first regional virtual visit to Bengaluru, the technology hub of India. My visit comes at a difficult time for everyone. So it is also a time when the excellent collaboration between the UK and Karnataka across technology and healthcare could not be important," Barton said.

"Making the most of those close links, and drawing on the great energy, innovation and entrepreneurship that Karnataka is famous for, will be central to ensuring we all recover from Covid-19 stronger than ever," he added.
