Bantwal: In what is seen as a challenge for Congress leader and forest minister B Ramanath Rai, the Social Democratic Party of India has decided to field a candidate in the upcoming Karnataka assembly poll from Bantwal constituency where BJP is leaving no stone unturned to register a victory.

At a party worker’s meet held at Al Khazana Community Hall here on Friday, March 9, SDPI state president Abdul Hannan formally announced that Riyaz Farangipete, a local leader, will be the party’s official candidate from Bantwal in 2018 polls.

Later, addressing the party workers, Abdul Hannan said that SDPI will send at least one legislator to the Karnataka Assembly at any cost in 2018. “Karnataka will definitely see the victory of at least one SDPI candidate this time. This victory will be the result of the decade long struggle of the party. Hence all the party workers should intensify campaign for their candidate and work at booth level,” he suggested.

Claiming that SDPI’s base has been strengthened in Bantwal constituency which has highest number of voters from Muslim and backward communities, he said: “This land has witnessed the sacrifice of many party workers. Their sacrifices should not go vain.”

Speaking on the occasion, Riyaz Farangipete claimed that he will be the voice of Muslim and Dalit communities and all the downtrodden people. 

SDPI DK district president Ataullah Jokatte, PFI national general secretary Ilyas Mohammed Thumbey also spoke. A few workers from other parties were inducted into SDPI on the occasion.

Is your sermon ONLY RESERVED for SDPI? What about JDS- BSP alliance in Karnataka? Throughout India, NO SDPI contested, still communal BJP won. Stop this Fear psychosis and BJP DEMON Syndorme, congress has been using this decades. Really you want to win, Let congress join hands with secular, progressive, thinkers, social activists, let atleast 10 new voices we hear from the Assembly of Karnataka. This will be the real defeat of communal forces.

I dont know when this SDPI stop their day-dreaming. SDPI...... you are just a small fish and don't try to swallow the big fish like Shark and Whale. First learn how to swim and then learn how to swallow the big fish. A very humble request to all the candidates of SDPI and its followers to stay in silent mode atleast for this Assembly election and for the General Election in 2019. Let we all jointly work to keep the saffron party away from Karnataka State and also in 2019 from India. Your intense behaviour clearly display that you are the agent of BJP same like MIM and other Muslim independent candidates working against CONGRESS. Only God can give you guidance to understand the need of the hour. Lets make our great nation INDIA: A secular Nation.

Mangaluru, Jul 4: Normal life was thrown out of gear as heavy rain under the influence of South East Monsoon started lashing coastal districts of Karnataka including Dakshina Kannada on Saturday.

The heavy rain is likely to continue till July 7, according to the meteorological experts. 

The water level in Netravati river is increasing and district administration has warned the people living in the low lying areas and has asked them to move to safer places.

Owing to lack of storm water drains, water logging of the roads inconvenienced the motorists at KS Rao Road, Pumpwell, Bejai, and other areas. 

The Met department sounded warning for fishermen not to venture into the sea observing that strong winds with speed reaching 50-60 kmph are likely to prevail over Southwest and West Central Arabian Sea till July 5.

New Delhi, Apr 12: Ramping up efforts to "stamp out" coronavirus cases in the state, Kerala Finance Minister Thomas Isaac has said that not only lockdown but intense testing of people and tracing of their contacts are also equally important in the fight against the outbreak.

Kerala, which was the first state in the country to report a coronavirus infection in late January, has also prepared a time table for coming out of the lockdown and there would be district-specific strategies to tackle the situation while the number of cases are on the decline.

In efforts to curb spreading of coronavirus infections, the country is under a 21-day lockdown till April 14 and many states have sought an extension amid rising number of cases. Kerala has proposed extending the lockdown and gradual phasing out after proper assessment.

"Lockdown should go on till we stamp out entire infections. Now, it is not enough to have lockdown. Equally important is that we should have intense testing, tracing and isolating (of people with coronavirus infections)," he said in a telephonic interview.

The government is closely monitoring the situation and there would be region-specific or district-specific strategies in place to tackle the outbreak, he said.

Against the backdrop of the lockdown that has also disrupted economic activities, Isaac said an exit strategy is being prepared and restrictions are being relaxed in certain segments, including agriculture.

Coronavirus India update: State-wise total number of confirmed cases, deaths on April 12

"The number of patients is coming down (in the state). We hope that in the coming days, the decline will be much more faster," he said during the interview late Friday.

On Saturday, the Kerala government said there were a total of 373 confirmed cases of coronavirus infections and 228 patients were under treatment in various hospitals in the state.

Keeping the trend in the last few days, the number of people under observation has come down to 1,23,490. So far, 14,613 samples from people with symptoms were sent for testing and the results of 12,818 samples have come negative, the government said in a statement on Saturday.

Indicating that there would be a calibrated exit from the lockdown, Isaac said the withdrawal would depend on three main factors, including the count of cases and the percentage of people who are under observation.

While emphasising that people must also be fed during the lockdown period, Isaac also said a time table is being prepared by the state to come out of the lockdown.

Even as strict measures are being implemented to deal with the current situation, the state is also preparing for a possible third wave of coronavirus cases.

Three students, who had returned from the Chinese city of Wuhan, were tested positive. They were also the first such cases, to be reported in January-February period, and have recovered. Wuhan was the epicentre of coronavirus infections before it spread to other countries.

Later, there was a second wave of infections in Kerala.

According to the minister, the possibility of a third wave has also been considered for the exit strategy.

"A lot of Malayalees are expected to come back from outside the state. We will welcome them... before that, we want to stamp out all Covid cases in Kerala. Flatten the curve completely so that when these people from outside, they will be quarantined, they will be tested and only then they will be able to integrate with the rest of the community," he said.

The Kerala government's measures, including extensive testing and efforts to trace people who came in contact with coronavirus-infected persons, have helped in curbing spreading of infections.

The state's public healthcare system has also been appreciated in various quarters.

"People are health conscious. There is a demand for quality healthcare services and the response to this demand has been strengthening of the public healthcare system. We have a robust public healthcare system," the minister emphasised.

On April 9, Isaac tweeted about low level of coronavirus spreading in the state.

"International norm for Covid spread is 2.6 per 1 Covid patient. Total number of primary Covid infected who arrived in Kerala from abroad is 254. The secondary spread has been limited to 91. The international mortality rate is 5.75. With just 2 deaths, rate in Kerala is 0.58," he had tweeted.

Death toll due to the coronavirus increased to 273 and the number of cases to 8,356 in the country on Sunday.
