Thank you for cleaning.

Mainly It is required to clean of our heart and brain. Otherwise it will be like wearing clean dress without taking bath.

Therefore required to free the society from all types of public evils like discord (disharmony), rites, bribes, corruption, hunger, crimes.
we need to have healthy relation amongst all our communities.

May God help.

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.
