Udupi, Dec 1: Around 16 years ago, the then Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee had inaugurated the renovated the Rajangana hall of Sri Krishna Mutt/Temple during the fourth Paryaya (2000-02) of Pejawar Mutt chief pontiff Vishwesha Tirtha Swami. Now the same hall is being renovated again and the seer desire is to get it inaugurated by the incumbent Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Speaking to presspersons on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of his sanyasa sweekar function here, the 87-year-old Pejawar seer said that the renovation of Rajangana was going on and was expected to be completed in another 10 days.

The Rajangana Hall was being renovated at an estimated cost of Rs. 3 crore. The first floor on its top would be called Madhwangana. “We have already approached Vice-President M. Venkaiah Naidu, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh, for its inauguration, but we are yet to get their confirmed reply,” he said. Asked if he had invited the PM, the seer said that he had already informed the top brass of the government. It was Vajpayee who inaugurated the renovated hall on January 18, 2001. Since another floor was coming up on it, it would be fitting that Mr Modi inaugurated it.

Asked if any of his planned projects in his present fifth Paryaya were pending, the seer said that while he had been successful in get some of the projects implemented, some others had remained. But he would complete them after descending from the Paryaya Peetha.

He had completed all the projects related to the Sri Krishna Mutt/Temple during his present Paryaya. He had got the “pauli” of the Sri Krishna Mutt/Temple renovated and also constructed a choultry here. He had started a college at Pajaka, for which Rs. 12 crore had been spent.

Besides, the All India Sanskrit Conference and the Dharma Sansad had been held during this Paryaya. “I had plans to adopt some villages and promote development there. But it did not fructify,” he said. Asked how he was feeling on his 80th anniversary of sanyasa sweekara, the seer said that God had given him a long life. “I thank God for it. It is all his grace. I have no role in it,” the seer said.

Thiruvananthapuram, Apr 24: Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Thursday said that there is no community spread or the expected phase three spread of coronavirus in the state so far but the threat continues.

Speaking to media persons here on Thursday, Vijayan said that Kasargod, Kannur, Kozhikode, and Malappuram districts will be in the red zone with full restrictions.

"All the other ten districts in the State will be in the orange zone. With the detection of new cases today, the status of Kottayam and Idukki districts have been changed from green to orange. The district administration will decide on the hotspot areas to be closed," he said.

He said there would be an increase in the number of random tests in the red zones.

"In an effort to confirm that there is no community spread in the State, random antibody tests would be conducted among health workers, police personnel, home delivery persons, volunteers and migrant labourers," he added.

The Chief Minister said that COVID-19 labs set up at the Pariyaram Government Medical College at Kannur and the Kottayam Medical College have got the approval from the ICMR for coronavirus testing. The lab at Kannur Medical College will start functioning from Friday.

The UV sterilised lab, spread over 2,200 sq ft is equipped with four real-time PCR machines. In the first phase, this lab will be able to do 15 tests per day, which will be gradually increased to conduct 60 tests in the next phase.

"With the opening of these two new labs, tests to detect COVID-19 will be conducted in 14 government labs in Kerala. Apart from this, there are two private labs also in Kerala which are doing these tests. Since the number of coronavirus cases is again increasing in the State, the government has decided to procure ten real-time PCR machines to ramp up testing," he added.
