Mangalore, September 23: Bajrang Dal has planned a Vidhan Soudha chalo agitation on October 1 to exert pressure on the State government to fulfill its demands of installing Datta Paduke and following Hindu rituals at Bababudangiri.

Divisional convener of Bajrang Dal Praveen Khandya told media persons in Chikmagalur that Datta Jayanthi would be observed on December 27 and 28. The members will wear Dattamale on the day of 'Skanda panchami.'

He said, the members of Bajrang Dal will go to Kadur by bus and take a train to reach Yeshwanthpur. From Yeshwanthpur, the members will walk to Vidhan Soudha. A memorandum will be submitted to Chief Minister Jagadeesh Shettar, Muzrai Minister Srinivas Poojary, and District-in-Charge Minister D N Jeevraj to impress upon them on the need for the Datta Paduke.

With Vidhan Soudha chalo, Bajrang Dal will begin its fight for a solution to 'Datta peeta' row. The roof of the cave has collapsed four years ago. Though the work on the repair has been completed four months ago, the district administration has failed to install Paduke at the cave. “We have submitted to memorandum to the district administration to reinstall the paduke at the cave 15 times in the past. As the district administration has failed to respond to our needs, we are forced to hold Vidhan Soudha chalo,” he said. The district administration has stopped distribution of prasadam to the devotees during Datta Jayanthi and Dattamale celebrations.

He said that the Chief Minister will be urged to appoint a public prosecutor to fight a case in connection with Datta peeta in the Supreme Court.

Bengaluru, Mar 27: India should take a cue from the UK and Italy and allow final year medical students to skip exam and bring them into the hospital system immediately to fight the war against COVID-19, noted cardiac surgeon Devi Prasad Shetty on Friday said.

The Chairman and Founder of the city-based Narayana Health said there should be some reforms in medical education like the UK and Italy.
In the UK, he noted, final year medical students have been told that they don't need to appear for the exam, and they will be given pass based on the past performance and they can get into the hospital system to fill the shortage.

Italy got 10,000 more doctors following the move to cut short the duration of MBBS by nine months, according to him.

COVID-19 battle can be only won by young doctors and young nurses. Its like a war, Shetty told PTI.

He said: Senior doctorsnone of them will be able to touch the patients because they are past the age of 50. A person who is past the age of 50 is very vulnerable himself.

This is a very contagious disease. "But we dont have that many battalion (of doctors). We need one and half lakh doctors to manage all these government
hospitals and private hospitals (to fight COVID-19)", he added.

Mangaluru, July 29: Justifying the transfer of Dakshina Kannada deputy commissioner Sindhu B Rupesh, district in-charge minister Kota Shrinivas Poojari has accused Mangaluru MLA U T Khader of politicizing the issue. 

The IAS officer was transferred by the Karnataka government on July 28, a day after a saffron activist issued a death threat against her on social media after she warned of legal action against the miscreants who attack cattle traders.

Condemning the development, Mr Khader had tweeted that the state government has punished the deputy commissioner instead of punishing the culprit, who issued death threat.

Responding to Mr Khader’s tweet, Mr Poojari said that the transfer of the officer was on administrative ground. “It is unfortunate that Khader politicized a transfer carried out by the government on administrative ground. This is not Khader’s time to protect any accused,” tweeted Mr Poojari. 

It is worth mentioning here that Mr Khader was the district in-charge minister of Dakshina Kannada before Mr Poojari taking over the position. 

Meanwhile, police has arrested a person in connection with the death threat against the IAS officer.
