Very sad news. We lost an young lawyer.  May her soul rest in peace.   We should be careful while driving.  We should always keep in mind that speed kills.   It is always better to be late than never.    We should overtake only when there is no vehicle on opposite side.   We will not lose anything if we wait for sometime.   I request all drivers to be very cautious while driving.  May God protect us from accidents.   We should follow the saying "start early, drive carefully and reach safely."

Bengaluru, Jun 23: In an attempt to avoid exploitation of patients affected with coronavirus, the Karnataka government on Tuesday announced fixing charges that could be collected from patients by the private hospitals for treatment in the State.

There are now two sets of rates for patients--those who are referred by public health facilities and those who approach private hospitals directly.

According to the notification issued by State Chief Secretary TM Vijay Bhaskar on Tuesday, 50 per cent of the total beds in private hospitals having facilities to treat Covid-19 patients shall be reserved for the treatment of patients referred by public health authorities.

This will include the high-dependency unit and ICU (intensive care unit) beds both with and without ventilators. The hospitals may utilise the remaining Covid beds for admitting Covid-19 patients privately.
