July 29, 2012

Mangalore, July 29: Members of the Hindu Jagarana Vedike were on Sunday taken into custody by police for violating the Section 144 that is enforced in the city following the Padil party attack.

The activists of the Vedike assembled in front of the Deputy Commissioner's office and held a sit-in shouting slogans against westernization of culture.

It is learnt that they have planned to stage a protest condemning the police action against the Vedike-led miscreants, who on Saturday evening barged into a private home-stay and attacked revellers.

The protestors justified the attack on the girls and boys at the homestay, saying it was to "protect culture". They also condemned the police for not taking action against the boys and girls who were involved in partying.

In spite of warnings from the police, the group continued their protest, following which, they were taken into custody by the police. A private bus was also deployed, besides the police van to take the protestors to the police station.

A public announcement was also made by the police warning people not to hold public gatherings as Section 144 has been enforced in the city.

A group of around 50 miscreants, said to be activists of Hindu Janajagrana Vedike, had all of a sudden barged into Morning Mist Home Stay at Padil, on Saturday evening and beat up a group of young women and men, claiming they were violating traditional Indian values.

Bengaluru, Jun 23: In an attempt to avoid exploitation of patients affected with coronavirus, the Karnataka government on Tuesday announced fixing charges that could be collected from patients by the private hospitals for treatment in the State.

There are now two sets of rates for patients--those who are referred by public health facilities and those who approach private hospitals directly.

According to the notification issued by State Chief Secretary TM Vijay Bhaskar on Tuesday, 50 per cent of the total beds in private hospitals having facilities to treat Covid-19 patients shall be reserved for the treatment of patients referred by public health authorities.

This will include the high-dependency unit and ICU (intensive care unit) beds both with and without ventilators. The hospitals may utilise the remaining Covid beds for admitting Covid-19 patients privately.

Bantwal, Jul 24: Former Union Minister B Janardhan Poojary on Friday said that people need to shed all their misconception regarding COVID-19 and stop taking it so lightly as it is not just any normal disease.

The 83-year-old politician who was tested positive for covid-19, was recently discharged from hospital after recovering completely.

Giving a word of caution, he said, “Earlier also there have been several diseases like Covid-19 and it has been eradicated. Even covid-19 will be eradicated. So, people should not get scared of the disease instead must fight with it”

“Also, covid-19 patients must not be treated like untouchables as those with symptoms may also not mention it due to the fear of being treated badly,” he added.
