Mangaluru, Oct 30: Amidst fresh demand by the saffron outfits to shift the slaughterhouse from Kudroli to the outskirts of the city, Dakshina Kannada Deputy Commissioner Sasikanth Senthil S has clarified that such a move is difficult for the time being. 

Replying to a question from Sudhir Shetty Kannur, a councillor, at an interactive session on Smart City Mission projects at the city corporation, the Deputy Commissioner said that it has been proposed to modernise the existing slaughterhouse at Kudroli as part of the waterfront area development. A sum of Rs. 15 crore earmarked for modernising the abattoir is not final. The allocation has been made only as an estimate. The cost might even come down once the proposal is finalised.

Mr. Senthil said that now urban planning is becoming more scientific. While developing roads under the Smart City Mission, thrust would be given to have people-centric roads. Pedestrians should have wide footpaths and there should be cycling tracks.

He said that while implementing the mission projects the thrust will also be given to de-congesting the central business district area in the city.

Hence, it has been proposed to shift the private bus stand from Hampankatta area to Pumpwell, build a multi-level car parking facility in Hampankatta, re-build the Central Market building and to shift the office of the Deputy Commissioner to Padil.

A.C. Vinayaraj, a councillor from Court ward, said that the projects to be taken up under the mission should be able to generate revenue for the corporation. They should also create job opportunities. It should help the corporation to have financial stability.

Mahabala Marla, former Mayor, and some other councillors questioned the company authorities for keeping elected representatives dark on the projects proposed under the mission. They said that people wanted to know the details of the projects proposed. The details also should be made known to people. Transparency should be maintained, they said.

Bengaluru, Feb 17: Leader of Opposition in Karnataka Assembly Siddaramaiah on Monday demanded that forest minister Anand Singh should either be expelled from the Cabinet or assigned a different portfolio.

This comes amid a number of cases, pending against Singh, including those under the Karnataka Forest Act.

"How can we expect justice from Anand Singh who has been made forest minister and is accused of (illegal mining)? We demand that he should either be dropped out of the state Cabinet or at least his portfolio be changed," Siddaramaiah told media.

Earlier in the day, Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa allocated portfolios to the 10 newly inducted ministers in his Cabinet.

As part of state Cabinet's expansion, 10 MLAs including Ramesh Jarkiholi, Anand Singh, K Sudhakar, and BA Basavaraja took oath as ministers at Raj Bhawan in Bengaluru on February 6.

Bengaluru, Jul 2: Karnataka government has issued a show-cause notice to 18 private hospitals for refusing to admit a 52-year-old patient with influenza-like illness (ILI) symptoms, who later died.

According to the notice dated on June 30, a 52-years patient named Bhawarlal Sujani died after he was denied admission by 18 private hospitals.

The patient was taken to these hospitals on Saturday and Sunday for admission on observing some ILI like symptoms. But none of these hospitals admitted in on the pretext of unavailability of bed/ventilators, read the notice.

This is a clear violation of providing medical assistance and admission necessitated under the agreed provision of KPME Registration. They should strictly adhere to the provisions under Sections 11 & 11 A of KPME Act 2017. Private Medical Establishments cannot deny/ refuse/ avoid treatment to patients with Covid-19 and Covid-19 like symptoms, the state Health Department said.

By denying the admission to the deceased patient, your hospitals have violated the provisions of the above-said act. You are liable for legal action in this regard, as per the notice.

The state Health department asked the hospitals to reply as to why action should not be initiated under the relevant Acts.
