Speaking to mediapersons after visiting day care centre for the endosulfan victims in Kokkada here on Wednesday, he said the Alankar Gram Panchayat has come forward to earmark five acre land for the purpose. The Centre will provide self-employment training for the endosulfan victims and their families.

Stating that the government will give priority to provide rehabilitation for the victims on humanitarian grounds, the Minister said that re-survey of villages affected with endosulfan poisoning will be carried out to provide suitable compensation for the victims. The survey will be carried out by the revenue and health department, to identify the victims to distribute compensation.

Bengaluru, Jan 24: Karnataka High Court on Friday ordered notice to the state government and self-styled godman Swami Nithyananda while hearing a petition seeking cancellation of bail granted to him.

A petition was filed in the Karnataka High Court on Friday seeking cancellation of bail granted to Nithyananda for skipping the trial and fleeing the country.

Justice John Michael Cunha, after hearing the complainant, ordered issuance of notice to the state government and Nithyananda and posted the matter for hearing next week.

The petition, filed by K Lenin, alleged that Nithyananda has been skipping trial and has fled the country on an expired passport.

The plea further said that Nithyananda was making false representations in his "exemption petitions to the trial court as if he is still in India".

Interpol has also issued a 'blue corner notice' to locate the self-styled godman, who is facing trial in a criminal case, on the request of Gujarat Police.
