Kasaragod, Oct 7: The agrarian economy of the Kasaragod district has been severely affected and there has been a visible lull in business volumes.

Buses plying on the bustling eastern belt of the district are largely empty, hitting hard the business volumes while cash transactions have come down drastically as a fallout of demonetisation, said K.R. Balraj, State secretary of the Bakers Association.

Demonetisation has certainly impacted trade volumes as people are hesitant to spend freely, apprehending trouble from Income Tax officials, Mr. Balraj said.

The Goods and Service Tax (GST) regime has added to the confusion of both traders and buyers.

“For instance, the Unniyappam purchased by bakeries from household entrepreneurs and Kudumbasree units attract 18% GST against the 5% tax slab prevailed earlier.”

Mr. Balraj, who had visited New Delhi recently to meet GST officials to seek clarification, said trade volumes could be regained only if the authorities took firm steps to allay the apprehensions of society.

Bengaluru, Jan 21: A massive protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), National Register of Citizens (NRC), and National Population Register (NPR) was witnessed at Shivajinagar's Chandni Chowk area on Tuesday.

Scores of people came together carrying national flags and placards to register their protest in the city.

Speaking to ANI, a protester said, "People of all religious community have assembled here in Chandni Chowk to protest against CAA, NRC, and NPR. We the people of India are against this law."

Terming the law as anti-constitutional, he said that we support all the states who oppose the CAA. We demand the revocation of CAA and the government should remove conditions in NPR which lead to NRC.

CAA grants citizenship to Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Parsi, Buddhist and Christian communities fleeing religious persecution from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh and who came to India on or before December 31, 2014.

Take private medical colleges into confidence: HDK to Karnataka govt

News Network

July 19,2020

Bengaluru, Jul 19: Senior JDS leader H D Kumaraswamy on Sunday advised the Karnataka government to utilise the services of private medical colleges in treating Covid-19 patients, by taking them into confidence, instead of threatening them with license cancellation for not complying with directives.

He also said a concentrated effort should be taken in the fight against coronavirus. "It was wrong for any hospital to deny treatment. It is also not correct on part of the government to threaten the private medical colleges with cancellation of their licence for that reason. It won't be of any help at this time of medical emergency.

Remember that MCI has the authority to cancel licenses, not government," Kumaraswamy tweeted. "Instead of showing fury on private medical colleges at such a time, concentrate on taking their service by taking them into confidence. Look into their needs. I urge for a concentrated fight against coronavirus," he added.

Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa had on Saturday convened a meeting with Private Medical College Hospitals regarding Covid management and directed them to provide 50 per cent of the beds as promised.

In another tweet, Kumaraswamy said the notice being put out by local administrations in front of coronavirus patient's house is leading to new age social discrimination and untouchability.

To ensure that infected patients and his family leads a respectable life, such a practice has to be dropped immediately. "..... instead health workers should be sent to their houses to educate and instill confidence in them," the former CM added.
