PM must intervene, resolve Mahadayi deadlock, iterates Siddaramaiah

Hubballi, Dec 26: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah reiterated that Prime Minister Narendra Modi must intervene and resolve the Mahadayi river water sharing dispute between Karnataka and Goa.

He was speaking to reporters here in Hubbali, on Tuesday.

Siddaramaiah again, expressed displeasure over the fact that Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar had written to Karnataka BJP President B S Yeddyurappa, that he was willing to hold talks; and not to him.

"As Parrikar has written to BSY and not me, the letter has no legal value. Both Goa and Centre are enacting a political drama," Siddaramaiah maintained.

Reacting strongly to Yeddyurappa's remarks on Monday, that the Assembly should be dissolved and the CM should declare elections, Siddaramaiah asked,"Is Yeddyurappa the election commissioner? People have given us a mandate for five years. Let BJP meet us in May during the polls,"

Bundh in four districts

Mallaprabha, Mahadayi, Kalasa-Banduri Raitha Horata Samiti has called a bundh protesting the delay of the two state governments and the nonchalance of the Centre, in resolving the Mahadayi deadlock.

The bundh has been called in Belagavi, Dharwad, Gadag and Bagalkote districts on December 27 from 6 am to 6 pm. If the bundh fails to persuade politicos to action, a dharna would be held in front of the parliamentarians of the region, Samiti leaders informed.

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.

Bengaluru, Feb 11: Onion price dropped to Rs 25-30 per kg on Monday, down from the dizzying Rs 200/kg in December and January. The price had spiked because of excess rain, which ruined the crop in several parts of the country.

With supply stabilising, especially from Maharashtra and northern Karnataka, and exports banned, the rate is now easing, officials said.

Consumers may be smiling but farmers are worried as they are not able to make more than Rs 17/kg as against the expected Rs 40.

"We get onions from Nasik and Sholapur in Maharashtra. Nasik onions used to be exported but since that is currently banned, they are landing in Bengaluru, leaving the market here with a surplus," said K Lokesh, president, Karnataka State Onion Merchants Association.

A farmer from Sholapur wh o was part of a onion growers' delegation which met traders in Bengaluru, said, "The cost of everything has gone up. Labour charges and fuel prices are draining us. How can we survive? How can I pay for my children's education?"

Another Sholapur farmer rued: "My daughter's wedding is in March. How am I going to meet all the expenses? I have to pay for labour, transportation, gunny bags and when everything adds up, I don't get to save more than Rs 30,000 in a month."
