Poojary offers 'urulu seve' seeking divine intervention in Cauvery dispute

September 18, 2016

Manglauru, Sep 18: Former Union minister B Janardhana Poojary, who had recently advised the Karnataka government to violate the Supreme Court directive in Cauvery case and stop releasing water to Tamil Nadu, on Sunday offered Urulu Seve' at Sri Gokarnanatheshwara Temple, Kudroli here, seeking divine intervention in the century old dispute.

79-year-old Poojary, who is being sidelined by both Dakshina Kannada District Congress Committee and Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee in recent days over his anti-Siddaramaiah rhetoric, rolled over the temple floor alone. Even though some of the party men and priests were present on the occasion none of them performed the Urulu Seve'.

While announcing his decision to perform the Urulu Seve' in a press meet in the city a couple of days ago, Mr Poojary had invited Karnataka chief minister to join the ritual. However, the latter has not responded to the invitation.

“I have sought divine blessings so that the court order is in favour of Karnataka. I also have prayed for the well-being of people of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Let the court order not create any untoward incidents in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu," Mr Poojary told media persons after performing Urulu Seve'. The apex court is expected to take up the issue on September 20.

"The Supreme Court bench in its interim order has asked Karnataka to release 12,000 cusecs on a daily basis till September 20. We all should pray for a favourable order this time,” he said.

Mr Poojary also called upon the chief minister to personally gather facts related to the Cauvery water row and share the same with the legal experts. "There are sufficient documents to present before the court. Let the chief minister work to collect documents," he added.

God created that river to flow through 4 states, all those live along side it's path have right to use it's water. By blocking that river, we are going against the will of God.

Good exercise! hats off to you, in this old age....

Now 100%

Poojary knows that the ground is finished with Marbles very nice to roll . if it was ground with rock tiles , let him do with that ... All Drama ...

Poojary ji.. you dedicated your entire life to a party which does not deserve you. At least now you say good buy to Congress and join BJP so that you get peace in old age.

NA TASYA PRATIMA ASTI - There is no image of GOD ...

How come you worship the man made idols? Think and PONDER . Dont just live a life of unaware... Search for TRUE GOD>... God guides those who look for him honestly...

I heard that a doctor had advised him to roll over the floor to maintain his health. He seized the opportunity for this show off. a few days ago he did urulu seve for favourable yettinahole verdict. in a few days he may do the same to get ticket in next lok sabha polls..

Poojary is going to kill traditional 'Pili Yaasa'. I think in next maarnami nobody will do tiger dance. All para pilis will don white cloths like pojary and do urulu seve thinking it will attract more people :p

Karnataka: Deputy CM inspects India's first modular ICU containers

News Network

July 19,2020

Bengaluru, Jul 19: The Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister C N Ashwathnarayan on Saturday inspected the country's first modular Intensive Care Unit (ICU) containers.

A notice from the Chief Minister's Office (CMO) said that the new mobile modular container ICUs, which will be used in the fight against the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, have been created by Rinac India Limited, known for setting up sanitised operation theatres and clean rooms in hospitals.

On a pilot basis, the Deputy CM, who is also in charge of setting up COVID-care centres, said that 10 modular container ICUs will be deployed at the KC General Hospital in Malleshwaram. Each of the containers will have five beds.

Deputy CM Ashwathnarayan also said, "These mobile ICUs donated by Rinac will be useful, particularly in times of a crisis like COVID 19 or any natural calamity."

"The entry of health officials will be through an airlock, and entry of patients will be through a different door. There will be two doors for patients and can be increased if need. ICUs are fitted with cameras to monitor online from a centralized monitoring station, thereby limiting the exposure of the health personnel," the CMO informed.

The CMO further added, "the advantages of this new system are that the prefabricated modules of 5 can be shifted to any location by trailers and it is easy to deploy multiple containers to create a common facility. They are easy to clean and the airtight functionality ensures that no moisture or heat ingression happens, hence, it is easy to air-condition or ventilate."
