Rohini moves HC, says mining mafia behind her transfer

Bengaluru, Mar 25: Hassan Deputy Commissioner Rohini Sindhuri Dasari has moved the High Court of Karnataka challenging the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) order, asking her to give representation to the Chief Secretary against her transfer order.

The petition is likely to come up for hearing on Monday. The petition states that the CAT's order directing her to appeal to the Chief Secretary is against the nature of justice as she has to make an appeal to the very authority who ordered her transfer. Going back to the Chief secretary is being ``virtually pushed towards the wall'', the petition said. She has termed her mounting grievances in this regard as 'pimple on the boil' in the petition.

Rohini has contended in the petition that IAS cadre posts have a fixed tenure of two years as per the rules and, despite this she is being transferred as the Hassan Deputy Commissioner for political reasons. The petition claimed she had cracked down on the mining mafia, which had enraged the local politicians who carried a tirade against her to the chief minister who directed for her premature transfer after succumbing to the political pressure. The petition states that many IAS officers with long tenure have been spared without subjecting to transfers. Rohini has urged the court to quash the transfer order of March 3, 2018 and the Tribunal's order of March 21, 2018. She stated that she has not approached the chief secretary, as directed by the CAT since there is a likelihood of enforcement of her transfer order with effect from March 26, outer limit fixed by the CAT to maintain a status quo. She further stated if the transfer order is implemented hurriedly, the petition becomes infructuous, and would cause injustice to her.

Rohini has made the principal secretary, Department of Personnel and Administrative Reforms (DPAR), secretary, Department of Personnel and Training, Government of India, and Randeep, deputy commissioner, Mysuru, who had to replace her as the Hassan DC, as respondents. Rohini, who assumed charge as Hassan deputy commissioner in July 2017, was transferred on January 22, 2018.

    Such bold conscientious non-conformist female/male IAS/IPS/Technical Officers have been transferred in other states also, courtesy the concerned chief ministers at the instance of some of their highly questionable ministers. High time such transfer orders are challenged more & more in High Courts in other states also. A toplevel IIT Engineer had his own way of handling such frequent transfer postings. He came duly prepared at the new place of posting along with a brief case and suitcase; ready to move out again even in six months but not ready to compromise even on instructions from above. .

        Bengaluru, May 29: A cost-effective state of the art glove box testing booth for swab collection was inaugurated by Karnataka Medical Education Minister Dr K Sudhakar at Victoria hospital.

        Inaugurating the specially designed booth for safer, easier and quicker testing, Medical Education Minister Dr Sudhakar said that the portable booths can be used at border check posts and hot spots.

        "The testing method involves the collection of samples from inside a box of aluminium and glass. The suspected corona virus-infected individual, whose samples are being taken, has to walk up to the booth and stand in front of the glass exterior. The healthcare worker inside the kiosk collects the sample and then, follows the sanitisation process before proceeding to take the next sample. The collection process, fully contactless, gets over in five minutes," the Minister said.

        Dr Sudhakar also said: "This booth significantly reduces manpower requirement and the need for PPE kits. The main advantages of this procedure are that it needs fewer healthcare workers and strictly adheres to the norms of social distancing. 

        The booth is low-cost. Each model costs about Rs 15,000-20,000."
        It is also portable and can be mounted on a vehicle and transported to any location.

        It can be particularly useful for collecting samples in hot spots and border checkpoints, he added.

        Bengaluru, Jul 31: The Karnataka government on Wednesday put on hold a controversial proposal to drop certain chapters, including on Islam, Christianity, Tipu Sultan and his father Hyder Ali, from social science textbooks to reduce the 2020-21 syllabi for students in classes 1-10.

        Citing the COVID-19 pandemic and the disruption caused to the academic calendar of the year, the government had earlier dropped the chapter on Tipu Sultan and Hyder Ali from the Class 7 social science textbook, saying chapters on Tipu Sultan have been retained in the Class 6 and 10 textbooks.

        The move did not go down well with the opposition, which saw certain ulterior motives behind the decision.

        Apparently under sharp criticism, the Department of Public Instruction issued a new notification on Wednesday "on the directions of the Karnataka Primary and Secondary Education Minister S Suresh Kumar".

        There is a delay in opening the schools during the academic year 2020-21 due to COVID-19 pandemic, said the latest order.

        In this context, the order said, chapters were dropped to fit in 120 days of the academic year for classes 1 to 10 and the same was published in the department's website.

        "However, on the directions of the Minister for Primary and Secondary Education, the decision to drop certain chapters has been put on hold. A review will be done following which the deleted chapters will be uploaded in the website," the order read.

        Earlier in the day, Mr Kumar had issued a statement, saying that the decision to truncate the syllabus has not been finalised yet. He also made it clear that his department would not remove chapters unnecessarily.

        Former chief minister and Congress leader Siddaramaiah had attacked the government on the issue.

        "The government, which has failed to control the spread of coronavirus, is using it as an opportunity to push its clandestine agenda of saffronising the textbooks," Siddaramaiah tweeted.
