Bangalore, November 6: The Karnataka Rajya Hindulida Vargagala Jagruta Vedike has threatened a mega Kukke Subrahmanya Chalo on December 18, Champa Shashti Day, if the government does not ban the made snana ritual at the Subrahmanya temple immediately.

Vedike general secretary A.H. Krishne Gowda told presspersons here on Monday that hundreds of progressive thinkers and swamis will participate in the Subrahmanya chalo programme. He said it is the duty of the government to educate people to shun such practices, and if it fails in doing its duty, the progressive thinkers will have to educate the people instead. In the meantime, the vedike plans to hold hunger protests at Mangalore, Mysore and Bangalore before Champa Shashti day to create awareness about archaic practices such as made snana and pankti bheda (serving food separately on caste-lines). The protest in Mangalore will be held on November 10 in front of the deputy commissioners' office. In Mysore, it will be held in front of the Mahatma Gandhi statue on November 20, and at Freedom Park on December 5 in Bangalore.

Mr. Gowda said the vedike had been fighting for a ban on made snana from 2010. The Puttur Assistant Commissioner had in November last year issued a circular banning the ritual. But, the ritual was allowed to be performed on Champa Shashti last year. Now attempts are being made to continue the ritual in a different form — serving food on plantain leaves, allowing cows to consume the food and then facilitating made snana by the people from lower 'classes', he alleged. Mr. Gowda urged all those opposing the ritual to lend support to the vedike by sending SMS to 9448342670.

Bengaluru, Apr 12: The Karnataka government is studying in-depth the consequences of the possible relaxation of lockdown norms after April 14 and plans to come out with a clear roadmap in a day or two, a key Minister said on Sunday.

Medical Education Minister K Sudhakar, who is in charge of all matters related to COVID-19, told PTI that the pros and cons of any decision that the Government intends to take is being looked at in detail.

"We are trying to understand how the situation would be of any action that we intend to take. We need to foresee the repercussions or results of our action. That we have to keep it in mind and make a decision. After-effects of the decisions we intend to take, that is more important, he said. You will have clarity (on the possible relaxation of lockdown norms) in a day or two. For everything (government decisions) we will give the reasoning for what action we would like to take; with the reasoning, we will give a decision," the Minister added.

Government sources said some relaxation in liquor sales, stopped during the lock-down period, is likely after the ongoing 21-day national clampdown ends on April 14. Twelve of the state's 30 districts remain free from the COVID-19 pandemic. Till Saturday, Karnataka reported 215 COVID-19 positive cases, including six deaths and 39 discharges.
