Bengaluru, Dec 7: Sri Shivakumara Swamiji, the centenarian head of Sri Siddaganga Mutt in Tumakuru, was airlifted on Friday to Chennai for treatment after he suffered gall balder infection and fever.

The seer was taken in an Air Ambulance from HAL Airport. At Chennai he will be admitted to Rela Institute of Medical Centre for treatment.

Earlier in the day, a team of doctors, including Siddaganga Hospital and Research Centre’s director Dr Parameshwarappa, and mutt authorities, including the junior pontiff, held long deliberations about shifting the pontiff to Dr Rela Insitute and Medical Centre at Chromepet in Chennai. 

The doctors consulted Dr Mohamed Rela, an expert in liver transplantation at Chennai, who agreed to examine the ailing pontiff. Sources said Dr Rela had in the past visited the mutt and sought the seer’s blessings. “The seer had his normal food and is responding to the treatment,” a source in the mutt said.

Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister Dr G Parameshwara called on the 111-year-old Swamiji at the Mutt in Tumakaru and inquired about his health. Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy is also in close touch with the junior seer of Siddaganga Math getting updates of his health and arranged for his travel to Chennai on an Air Ambulance.

Udupi, Jun 28: The Padubidri police have booked cases against two patients of Novel Coronavirus for not revealing their primary contacts and hiding their travel history.

According to DHO Sudhirchandra Sooda, two siblings from Hejamadi in Padubidri had tested positive for COVID-19 recently. After shifting to the hospital, when the officials asked them about their primary contacts and travel history, the patients furnished false information.

When the officials collected information from various sources, they realised that the duo had travelled to Bantwal, Kasargod, Ullal and other places in Dakshina Kannada, said Dr Sooda. Hence, the district administration decided to file cases against them, he added.
