Swami Vivekananda had refused to join cow protection outfits: DK leader

Chennai, Mar 6: Taking strong exception to the Maharashtra government’s ban on beef, Dravidar Kazhagam president K Veeramani on Thursday said eating habits are the fundamental rights of an individual and no government has a right to decide on them.

swamyDescribing the move as ‘anti-Constitutional and anti-secular’, he said a majority of the people in the world eat beef and it was a nutritious diet available at a cheaper rate to the poor. Religious chauvinism should not deprive people of their fundamental right, he asserted.

The beef ban, he alleged, was part of the ruling party’s Hindutva policy and not based on the principle of ahimsa, as meat of a particular animal that is considered sacred had been banned. “If giving milk is the criteria, what about buffaloes that too produce milk? Why are buffaloes not protected?” he asked.

Quoting Swami Vivekananda’s views on protecting cows, the DK leader said feeding the hungry people was more important than protecting cows or any other animal. The revered saint had also refused to join an organisation to protect cows, saying that he would not join such organisations that give heaps of food to birds and animals without sympathy for human beings.

Eating beef was an ancient custom and part of several yagnas cited in Vedas, he said and added that it was mentioned in Valmiki’s Ramayana. The DK was prepared to start a propaganda in favour of beef by arranging beef feasts like it did in 1972, Veeramani said, adding that the ban should be challenged in court.

Echoing him, Socialist Democratic Party of India leader Tehelan Bhakavi said beef was consumed by the poor who were involved in physical labour. He added that eating beef was an ancient custom found in the Ramayana and other Puranas.

Bengaluru, Jul 31: Gyms in Bengaluru carried out sanitation work on Thursday following the Centre's nod to reopen gyms from August 5, after several weeks of COVID-induced lockdowns.

"We are taking all the precautionary measures prescribed by the government and will follow the guidelines very strictly. A thermal scanner, oximeter and hand sanitizers have been placed at the entrance of the gym. 

We request all other gym owners also to follow the guidelines strictly to keep their members safe and healthy," said Prasad Kumar, a gym owner in Bangalore.

He added, "The last few months have been very difficult for us gym owners and fitness instructors. We are very grateful to the government for allowing us to re-open. 

We are going to be very cautious when we open. Even before this COVID-19 pandemic, we used to sanitise all the equipment before and after every use so hopefully, this won't be too difficult for us. We are getting rid of the air conditioners to allow cross ventilation and open the space a little more."

According to Chandu Gowda, an actor and frequenter of the gym, working out at home was not the same as working out in the gym with the proper equipment.

"I'm very glad that I get to come back and work out as I used to before this lockdown. For an actor, working out is extremely important, not just for my physical health but also mental health. 

Doing exercises at home is never as good as exercising in a space dedicated to one purpose. I hope other members of the gym follow the rules and regulations religiously," Gowda said.

Bengaluru, May 30: The Karnataka government will soon launch a project to maintain the health database of all its citizens, said Medical Education Minister Dr K Sudhakar on Friday.

A first of its kind initiative, the "State Health Register" will be a robust and standardised health repository of all the citizens, as per an official release.

Sudhakar said that the project will be implemented first in Chikkaballapur district on an experimental basis. "Enhanced focus on healthcare has become imperative and our government is committed to providing world-class healthcare to all citizens," he added.

While speaking to media, the minister said that COVID-19 experience has demonstrated the necessity of having robust, real-time public health data and, therefore, there is a need to maintain a repository of health data of each and every citizen.

He said that the government will be undertaking a survey of all 6.5 crore people in the state, by using a team of Primary Health Centre officials, revenue officials, education department staff and ASHA karyakartas.

"They will visit each household and collect health data of all the members of the family. This will not only help the government to provide better healthcare but will also help efficient resource allocation, management and better implementation of various citizen-centric schemes in the state," Sudhakar stated.

"Public-Private Partnership -- It's our vision to provide world-class healthcare to all citizens in the state and we need accurate data to make our vision a reality. The health register is a futuristic project which is taken up in the interest of the people. The project will include 50 per cent partnership of private hospitals. The data collected will help us to prioritise healthcare based on geography, demography and other targetted measures," read the release.

Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa has assured all support for the project and a detailed discussion will be undertaken in the upcoming cabinet meeting, said Dr Sudhakar.

The minister also assured that he is committed to ensuring that all citizens of the state have access to world-class healthcare.

Manglauru, Jun 1: The southwest monsoon has made an onset over Kerala, marking the commencement of the four-month long rainfall season, the India Meteorological Department said on Monday.

"The southwest monsoon has made an onset over Kerala," IMD director general Mrutyunjay Mohapatra said.

The four-month monsoon season from June to September accounts for 75 per cent of rainfall in the country.

Private forecaster Skymet Weather on May 30 had declared arrival of monsoon, but the IMD had differed, saying conditions were not ripe then for such an announcement.

Orange alert

Meanwhile, coastal Karnataka’s Dakshina Kannada district, which is receiving sporadic rains for past couple of days, is on orange alert.

Deputy Commissioner Sindhu B Rupesh declared the orange alert following IMD’s prediction of heavy rainfall in the region.
