Bengaluru, Oct 13: Lok Sabha member and BJP Karnataka General Secretary Shobha Kharandlje today questioned on who gave the authority to AICC President Rahul Gandhi to discuss the Rafale deal issue with former HAL employees.

Terming Mr Rahul Gandhi's visit is only for publicity sake, Ms Shobha Kharandlje alleged that "Congress allegations on Rafale deal is far from truth and Mr Gandhi has indulged in false propoganda against Rafale deal and Prime Minister Narendra Modi was targeted for publicity sake."

Addressing a press conference here, she said that "the Minix square is banned for any political activity but I don't know how permission was given in that place."

Ms Shobha Kharandlje alleged that when UPA government headed by Congress was in power at the Centre many Public Sector units including HMT have been closed. "Despite the Rafale deal was most transparent it has been beemed as most corrupt deal without any basis."

"HAL officials and Military heads have given clean chit to the deal but it was Congress which is levelling allegations for political advantage," she added.

Referring to BSP Rpt BSP MLA N Mahesh tendering resignation to Minister post in Karnataka, Ms Shobha Kharandlje alleged that "it is the end of Congress and the Ghatbandhan which began in Karnataka will also end here only".

New Delhi, Mar 19: The Supreme Court on Thursday upheld the validity of Karnataka's 2018 reservation law, which granted reservation in promotion to employees belonging to SC and ST categories.

A bench headed by Justice DY Chandrachud holds that applications filed by a group of general category employees for applying 'post-based quota' and the principle of the creamy layer at entry-level in public employment are not maintainable.

The apex court had, in November last year, reserved its order on the applications filed by general category candidates in the matter.

In May last year, the top court had upheld the law allowing reservations in promotions for SC and ST candidates with consequential seniority.

Bengaluru, Aug 7: Amid the rising number of COVID-19 cases in Karnataka, the state's health department issued fresh guidelines for the disposal of bodies of COVID patients.

"Although an increased risk of COVID infection from a dead body to health workers or family members who follow standard precautions while handling the body is unlikely, the lack of scientific data requires the utmost care to avoid the inadvertent spread of COVID-19 during these times," the statement from the health department's press release read, emphasising on the dignity of the dead and the religious and cultural tradition.

The 23-page press release elaborated on guidelines regarding testing, handling of dead bodies and other specificities in relation to the management of COVID-19 bodies.

"Testing should not be insisted in every case of death, but only when they have a recorded history of influenza-like symptoms. The body should be handed over to the family members/ relatives in a dignified manner immediately after swab collection and hospitals should provide handouts with a list of dos and don'ts in English and Kannada laying down relevant information," the statement said.

It added, "At the mortuary, health care workers, mortuary staff and the family of the deceased body shall not come in direct contact with the dead body and must wear full personal protective equipment (PPE). If the family or relative are for any reason unable to cremate or bury the body, the local health authority shall arrange for the dignified last rites as per the religious traditions of the family."

Regarding autopsies (post mortem) on COVID-19 bodies, the state department said that they should be avoided, except in necessary circumstances.

The statement also gave detailed guidelines regarding the appropriate recording of COVID-19 deaths in line with the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) guidelines.

Additionally, the health department made a statement about the admission procedure for COVID positive patients referred by other district administrations saying, "It is now mandatory for all the referrals from the BBMP admission and discharge of COVID positive patients to be done through the online COVID Hospital Bed Management System (CHBMS)."

The state's count of coronavirus cases was 1,51,449 in the past 24 hours.

So far, a total of 2,804 people have died due to COVID-19 in the state, while the average recovery rate in Karnataka is 49.3 per cent.
