Bengaluru, Aug 17: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah today launched his personal Twitter handle, calling it an attempt to connect with people not as CM, but as a "rooted and proud" Kannadiga.

"Today, I am launching this new Twitter account to stay personally connected with all of you, to share views, opinions & learn from each other," Siddaramaiah said in a tweet on his new Twitter handle '@siddaramaiah'.

"I invite you all to connect with me here, as I reach out to you today not as your CM, but as Siddaramaiah - a rooted and proud Kannadiga," he said in another tweet.

The new Twitter profile already has 2,480 followers and describes Siddaramaiah as "Kannadiga; Believer in equity & social justice; Family man; Chief Minister of Karnataka."

The official Twitter handle of the chief minister "@CMofKarnataka" has 232K followers till now.

The latest social media outreach by the chief minister with personal touch gains significance ahead of 2018 assembly polls.

The Congress government in the state has constantly faced criticism for its "poor" communication in reaching out to the masses.

In a video message in the account, Siddaramaiah said it has been launched with an intention to increase his association with the social media users and to express his views and opinion more cordially.

"Let us all join hands and move forward together in the path of social change. Let's interact constructively through my personal Twitter account @siddaramaiah," he said.

Mangaluru, Mar 7: After coronavirus cases were confirmed in different parts of the country, there has been a sudden jump in demand for mask and safety gears like gloves and sanitizers in Mangaluru and Udupi.

With the increase in demand, medical shop owners said that they were finding it difficult to meet the demand.

In fact, there is a demand for bulk supply of masks and gloves. There was demand for masks when Covid-19 was confirmed in China two months ago. Bulk quantities of masks were purchased in order to supply them to Indian employees working in China. A few private firms had purchased masks from Mangaluru in the month of December.

In a release, the Hospital authorities stated that the team of doctors led by Dr Rajpal Singh, Director and Interventional Cardiologist, Fortis Hospital, Bangalore successfully conducted Carotid Artery Stenting (CAS) to increase the blood flow in the blocked areas which had resulted in stroke following stringent safety protocols and ensuring proper segregation of COVID and Non-COVID patients at the hospital.
