Nearly 200 PFI activists gathered in front of the office of deputy commissioner in Mangaluru to denounce the alleged politicisation of the coldblooded murder of RSS activist Rudresh and arrest of Mr Sharif.

PFI Udupi district committee held a protest in front of clock tower near service bus stand in Udupi. Protest meets were also held in Puttur, B C Road and other parts of coastal Karnataka.

The protesters denied their organisation's role in the October 16 murder case and called the arrest of their leader a political conspiracy.

They accused the police of bowing down to the pressure of Sangh Parivar, which had earlier said that it would seek ban on PFI if its involved in the murder case was confirmed.

In a press release issued here, the PFI said that this was not the first time the Sangh Parivar targeting the organisation. “In the part to PFI had faced similar baseless allegations and media too had waged a hate campaign against PFI. However, their allegations proved to be false so far,” it said.

“The Sangh Parivar and media had blamed PFI for the murder of Manjunath in Shivamogga and Harish Poojary in Bantwal. However, later it was proved that Manjunath was murdered in a property row and Poojary was murdered by Bajrang Dal leader Bhuvit Shetty,” the release said.

“In Rudresh murder case too, the Sangh Parivar is trying to target PFI since the beginning. The police have already arrested four persons who have no connections with the organisation. Now, the police picked up a PFI leader just to appease the Sangh Parivar,” it said demanding the immediate release of Mr Sharif.

Mangaluru, Apr 16: An old refrigerator has been turned into a "disinfection chamber" by researchers who are striving to come up with solutions to tackle the spread of coronavirus.

Dr Arun M Isloor, head of Chemistry Department, National Institute of Technology Karnataka (NITK), Surathkal, along with research scholar Syed Ibrahim has come up with the device which can disinfect items kept inside it.

"We have named this as ZERO-COV," Dr Isloor said.

He says the device ensures 99.9 per cent destruction of microorganisms present on the surface of items.

"We can keep items like vegetables, currency notes, books or envelopes inside the chamber. Switching on the chamber for 15 minutes ensures 99.9 per cent destruction of microorganisms present in the surface of the items," Dr Isloor added.

University of Oxford researchers have claimed that a cheap and widely available drug called dexamethasone can help save the lives of patients who are seriously ill with coronavirus.

Scientists working on the Recovery Trial found the drug could help patients on ventilators and oxygen, but had no effect on those who did not need help breathing.

“Based on these results, one death would be prevented by treatment of around eight ventilated patients or around 25 patients requiring oxygen alone,” researchers said in a statement.

Matt Hancock, the health secretary, tweeted: “This global first exemplifies the power of science.”

“I’m absolutely delighted that today we can announce the first successful clinical trial for a treatment for Covid-19,” Mr Hancock said.

Recovery Trial experts said a randomised group of 2,104 patients was given 6mg of dexamethasone per day for 10 days, while another group of 4,321 were given normal treatment.

Dexamethasone reduced deaths by one-fifth in patients on oxygen feeds and by one-third in those who needed a ventilator to breathe, preliminary results showed.

Mr Hancock added: “This is a huge step forward and it’s because we’ve backed the science.”

Martin Landray, professor of medicine and epidemiology at the Nuffield Department of Population Health, University of Oxford, and one of the trial’s chief investigators, said in a statement: “These preliminary results from the Recovery Trial are very clear – dexamethasone reduces the risk of death among patients with severe respiratory complications.

“Covid-19 is a global disease – it is fantastic that the first treatment demonstrated to reduce mortality is one that is instantly available and affordable worldwide.”

Trials  of  drug  dexamethasone   in  Covid-19  cases   have  brought  success  in  saving  lives  ,  claim  Oxford  University  scientists  on  16 June  2020. 

              According  to  news  reports  on  16 June  , 2020  ,   Oxford  University  Scientists  have  conducted  trials  on  anti-inflammatory  steroid  Dexamethasone   in  Covid-19  cases.  Results  released  by  the   Oxford  University    on  16  June  2020  say  that  the   low-cost  and  easily  available  drug  saves  the  people  seriously  infected  by   Coronavirus  ,  cuts  the  death  risk  by  a  third  for  those  on  ventilators  and  by  a  fifth  for  those  on  oxygen.  The  commentary   on  the  drug   reads  like  this  :-

“  This  is  a  tremendous  news  today  from  the  recovery  trial  showing  that  dexamethasone   is  the  first  drug  to  reduce  mortality  from  Covid-19.  It  is  particularly  exciting  as  this  is  an  inexpensive  widely  available  medicine.  This  is  a  ground  breaking  development  in  our  fight  against  the  disease  and  the  speed  at  which  researchers  have  progressed  finding  an  effective  treatment  ,  is  truly  remarkable.  It  shows  importance  of  doing  high  quality  clinical  trials  and  basing  decisions  as  the  results  of  those  trials”. 

               Covid-19  has  taken  into  its  grip   the  entire  world  during  first  half  of  the  year  2020  ,  infecting   lacs  and  killing  also  lacs  of   its  patients.  In  the  absence  of  an  effective  drug  or  vaccine  ,  people  had  no  choice  other  than   to   look   up   to  the  heavens  or   scientists  to  come  with  some  cure.  And  the  drug  described  here  is  the  first  one  to  respond  to  the  prayer   of  the  global  community  ,  it  seems.     As  regards  a  vaccine  ,   only  few  are  claiming  that  it  can  come  by  the  end  of  the  present  year  2020.  Rather   ,  some  are  of  the  view  that  it  may  take  a  larger  part  of  the  year  2021  and   could   even  go    to  mid-2022.   Whatever  that  scenario  about  prospect  of  arrival  of  vaccine  to  treat  Covid-19  may  be   ,  the  news  that  was  broken   on  16  June  2020   by   the  Oxford  University   scientists   in  relation  to   drug  dexamethasone   would  have  sent  a  wave  of   strength  and  hope   among   people  world-wide.  And  this  Vedic  astrology  writer  was  spirited  for  another  reason  as   well   -  a  prediction  of   when  some  relief   by  way  of  drug  to  fight  Covid-19   may  appear  ,   having  come  accurate  in   the   claim  announced  by  Oxford  University   on  16 June  2020.  This  writer  had  ,   based   on  interpretation  and  application   of  Vedic  astrology  ,   contributed  in  early  April  ,  2020   an  opinion  piece     - “  Some  searchlight  on  way  out  of  Covid-19  presently  tormenting  mankind” -   to  a  number  of   newspapers.  It  was  also  contributed  on  11  April  ,  2020   using  the  ‘ comments’   column  of  article  -‘ Heard  Charles  took   Ayurveda  treatment-based  Ayush  drugs  for   Covid-19’  -   at   theprint.in/india/looking-at-evidence-based-ayush-medicines-to-treat-covid-19-minister-shripad-naik/393407/.   The  text  in  the  opinion  piece  related  to  the  claim  of  success  announced  by  Oxford  University  scientists  on  16 June  ,  2020  ,  reads  like  this  :- 

“  So  reading  in  between  the  lines  ,  it  can  be  said  that  some  effective  drug   or  remedy  can  arrive  by   mid   or  towards   the  last  week  of  June  2020   to   provide  some  relief  during  July  to  September  2020 ,  to  some  good  extent”.

The  point  this  writer  wants  to  share  with  readers  world-wide  is  that   yes  ,  a  drug   envisaged  in  the  aforesaid  prediction  has  appeared  on  the  horizon  in  the  claim  announcement  of  Oxord  University  scientists  on  16  June ,  2020.

Bengaluru, Jul 7: Former Health minister and Congress MLA UT Khader has alleged that the state government has purchased coronavirus equipment for more than twice the actual price.

"Rs 500 sanitizers have been purchased for Rs 900 and Rs 9,000 has been paid to Rs 1200 for the thermal metre by the government. Instead of asking to allow him to work, Mr B Sriramulu, being health minister he must work for the people," he said.

He said that three months have passed since the pandemic started but the state government is still struggling to send ambulances to needy patients.

"Instead of ambulance it is sending final rights vehicle to needy people," Khader said.

According to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, there are 23,474 coronavirus cases in Karnataka including 13,255 and 372 deaths.
