Mangaluru, Apr 18: Bantwal Congress candidate B Rananath Rai, who has intensified his campaign for May 12 Karnataka assembly polls, on Wednesday called on the former union minister and party veteran B Janardhana Poojary and sought his blessings.

Minister for Forest, Environment and Ecology in the incumbent state government and six time MLA from Bantwal, Mr Rai is expected to file his nomination papers on April 19.

Mr Rai’s visit to the Billava stalwart’s house gains significance in the wake of latter’s aides accusing the Dakshina Kannada district in-charge minister of mocking and abusing the veteran leader. Mr Rai has brushes aside the allegations.

A strong critic of chief minister Siddaramaiah’s way of functioning, the octogenarian Poojary has been resting at home for the last few months due to ill-health.

It is learnt that Mr Poojary is not capable of campaigning for the party in the upcoming polls. Mr Rai sought Mr Poojary’s blessings for all the Congress candidates in the state.

Mr Poojary expressed hope that Congress will return to power after May 12 polls. He also predicted Mr Rai’s victory. “People of Bantwal will make you MLA again,” Mr Poojary told Mr Rai.

Bengaluru Jul 29: There will be a centralised system in place in Karnataka to classify asymptomatic, symptomatic and mild symptomatic persons and recommend treatment based on the severity of the cases, said Medical Education Minister Dr K Sudhakar on Tuesday here.

"Various existing apps related to COVID-19 will be brought under one platform to get real-time information which will assist in strategising allocation of hospitals/beds to the needy. This will probably remove the delay in bed allocation and treatment which is being faced now. The patients will get all information in one phone call," Dr Sudhakar said.

Sudhakar spoke with a team of experts from the government and Infosys.

Referring to a company by name Step 1, which is providing such services in Delhi and Madhya Pradesh, the Minister said that a similar system will be implemented in the state as well.

"This company is having a team of doctors and nurses which is guiding the people whether they need hospital treatment or home isolation after they are tested positive for COVID-19. More than 70 per cent of the positive cases are being asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic and are advised to go for home isolation," the minister said.

"The load on the hospitals is reduced and severe cases can be administered proper treatment. Infosys co-ordinates with the government to provide technical support for this system," Dr Sudhakar added.

Earlier during the day, the minister held a video conference with the heads of private medical colleges to review COVID preparedness.
The government has already passed guidelines to allocate 50 per cent of hospital beds for COVID patients.

Mangaluru, Mar 29: The state government has lifted the restrictions on the movement of chicken and eggs, thus ensuring the availability of protein-based nutrition to consumers.

Due to the 21-day lockdown in the State, police and other regulatory authorities were not allowing movement of poultry products, which not only had affected the entire poultry sector but also the consumers. The Karnataka Poultry Farmers and Breeders Association (KPFBA) had made a representation to the government to lift the restrictions.

The Secretary of Animal Husbandry and Fisheries, A B Ibrahim in a circular dated March 27, 2020 night , said that the minimal husbandry sector came under essential services and is given exemption during the lockdown period. He cited the letter which provides for the exemption, issued by the Government of India Home Secretary and the Union Joint Secretary of Animal Husbandry and Dairying.
