Madikeri, Sep 14: A schoolboy, who was part of a Ganesh immersion procession, drowned in a pond at Arashinakuppe near Kushalnagar in Kodgau district.

The victim has been identified as Hemanth (13), son of Ananth Kumar and Padma couple from Arashinakuppe. He was a student of the government school at Siddalingapura.

According to sources, around a dozen boys took a Ganesha idol in a small procession and immersed it in a pond yesterday afternoon. One of the boys, Hemanth, lost balance while immersing the idol and drowned.

The other boys could not save Hemanth as no one knew how to swim in the deep water. They screamed for help, but in vain. The idol of Ganesha, which is considered as “the destroyer of all obstacles”, too did not respond.

A case has been registered at Kushalnagar rural police station and investigations are on.

Nobody will force. But all are doing in a spirit. In a celebration mood

enchina maraya, undu reportun odula

Why you are dragging God to this. If its God's decision nobody can restrict that. Gods are powerful

RIP

Inna Lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un

I think, its not the mistake of that boy. Usually procession and immersion will be over crowded. That may be the reason

If he is not an expert in swimming then why he went? anybody forced him to do?

Please don't sensationalise the sad incident

Why God cant save that schoolboy..!

Bengaluru, Apr 1: Karnataka Health Minister B Sriramulu on Wednesday said that 200 people, out of 342 from the state who had attended the religious gathering at Markaz building in Delhi's Nizamuddin area, have been quarantined.

"200 people including four from Bengaluru and five from Belgaum, who participated in Tablighi Jamaat (in Delhi's Nizamuddin), have been quarantined. Total 342 people from Karnataka had attended the event," Sriramulu told reporters here.

The gatherings organised by the Tablighi Jamaat at the Markaz building in Nizamuddin came into the spotlight after multiple coronavirus cases were confirmed amongst those who attended the event held in March.
Twenty-four cases were reported from the national capital alone, apart from Telangana, the union territory of Andaman and Nicobar Islands amongst others.

The minister had earlier said that Bengaluru Urban and Mysuru have been identified among the prime 25 COVID-19 hotspots in the country.
Chikkaballapur, since the last fourteen days, has been emerging as another hotspot, according to Sriramulu.

The total number of coronavirus cases in India has risen to 1,637 after 240 new cases were reported in the country, according to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, on Wednesday.

The total number of active cases rose to 1466 in the country, while 132 people have been cured and discharged after receiving treatment, as of 9 am.
