Dharwad, Feb 16: Rich tributes were paid to the 44 CRPF jawans killed in an attack by Pakistan sponsored Jaish-E-Mohemmed terrorist at Awantipore in Pulwama district of Jammu and Kashmir. Members of several organizations visited the Kargil War Memorial at the deputy commissioner’s office premises on Friday and offered floral tributes to the slain soldiers.

Condolence meetings and candle light marches were also held at several places. While the mourners expressed grief over the attack, there was loud demand from people to take severe action against Pakistan and terrorist camps to avenge the killings.

Cutting across party lines, leaders and citizens said they stood by the families of the soldiers, armed forces and the Central government.

They also welcomed Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s statement that the armed forces have been given a green signal to do whatever is necessary to avenge the killings of Indian jawans and teach Pakistan an unforgettable lesson. Merchants, lawyers, students, teachers, members of Dalit Sangharsha Samiti and other organizations held separate meetings to condole the death of the jawans.

Bengaluru, Jun 4: Leader of Opposition in Karnataka Siddaramaiah on Thursday said it was not appropriate to reopen schools for two more months, given the current rate at which coronavirus infection is spreading.

He also advised Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa and Primary and Secondary Education Minister Suresh Kumar not to take any hasty decisions in this regard.

"As corona infection is spreading in the state beyond limits, it is not appropriate to open schools for at least two more months. Chief Minister and Suresh Kumar should not make any hasty decisions," Siddaramaiah tweeted.

Stating that Suresh Kumar has placed a proposal to reopen schools in July, he said the chief minister has to take note of worried parents opposing this proposal.

"There are reports about students getting infected by coronavirus after reopening of schools in countries like Britain, France and Italy. It is appropriate to think about reopening schools on analysing the situation after two months," he said in another tweet.

The state government has sought an opinion from parents and stakeholders regarding reopening of schools in the state, with the easing of the COVID-19 lockdown norms.

Amidst worries and concerns expressed by parents across the state, the Education Minister on Wednesday had assured that the government would not take any hasty decisions regarding reopening of schools.

The Union government, in its recent guidelines, had asked state governments to hold consultation at school, college, training and coaching institutions-level with parents and other stakeholders, and based on the feedback, a decision on reopening them would be taken.

“We have 1,120 beds to treat COVID-19 positive cases in the district. Even after including these 150 persons, we still have 800 beds left. Hence, people need not panic. We will provide treatment for all affected persons,” Mr. Jagadeesha said.
