Instilling confidence into young minds and students Dr CN Manjunath, Director, Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular sciences and Research, Bengaluru, advised them to avoid mobile phones.

“Mobile phone is one of the biggest hurdles to achieve the goals for younger generation. Even though mobile phone is a means of communication, the students are being addicted to this device,” he said suggesting a ban on mobile phone for students at least till they complete Class X.

He also warned against consumption of fast food. “Unscientific lifestyle and food habits have increased stress which in turn has resulted in the increase of cardiovascular diseases,” he lamented.

Former Indian cricketer Syed Mujtaba Hussain Kirmani, speaking on the occasion, applauded the service of TRF and said that the “real heroes are those who lift the underprivileged, deserving and needy”.

Calling upon the youth to work hard and constantly move towards their goals, he said: “There is a hero within every human being and we should recognise it.”

He also urged the youth not to ignore humanity and human values while perusing their goals. "Whatever your goals may be, it is important to be human being first,” he said adding that individuals should think broadly.

He said that people like Paralympic World Champion Malathi Holla and Tennis Player Prabhu, who are specially abled inspired not only special people but also others, with their yeoman service to humanity. They have come over their physical limitations to achieve great things in life, he added.

Babar Ali, said to be the youngest principal in the world, who started a school when he was just 16, was a centre of attraction in the event. Hailing from Murshidabad, one of the poorest districts of India located in West Bengal, he said that he love people of Karnataka too because they had helped him build a school.

He said that we should adopt good role models like Swami Vivekananda to be inspired by them. While calling upon the youth to work with commitment, dedication, he reminded them to cultivate love towards the less privileged and try to uplift them.

Syed Mohammed Beary, CMD, Bearys Group said that sacrifice is the other side of success. Leadership comes with clarity of mind, which comes with purity of heart.

IAS?Officer Mohammed Musharraf Ali Faruqui, Home of Hope, Bengaluru, Chairman T Raja and IISc, Bengaluru, Scientist, Shiva Kumar were present among others.

Bengaluru, Jul 1: Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) chief DK Shivakumar on Wednesday said that the state Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa should apologise to the nation for the Ballari incident.

"It is shocking to see the Ballari incident. The way the dead bodies of the corona victims have been treated is very unfortunate. The entire country witnessed it. I request the Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa to apologise to the nation. India is known for its values and traditions," Shivakumar told reporters here.

Earlier, Shivakumar had posted a video which allegedly showed officials 'inhumanly' dumping bodies of those patients who die of COVID into a pit in Ballari, the district administration confirmed it and said that the entire field team involved in the incident has been disbanded.

"It's disturbing to see bodies of COVID patients who have died being dumped inhumanly into a pit in Ballari. Is this civility? This is a reflection of how the government has handled this Corona crisis. I urge the govt to take immediate action and ensure that this doesn't happen again," Shivakumar's tweet, which also had a video of the incident embedded, read.

The Deputy Commissioner, Ballari issued a press note which stated that it had conducted an enquiry after the video surfaced and it was found that the video belonged to the district and "comprises of burial of eight people who passed away after succumbing to COVID-19."

Although, according to the DC, all protocols and SOPs were followed by the team during the burial process, however, the "disrespectful handling of the bodies while being lowered on to the ground by the field staff" led to the entire field team involved being disbanded and will be replaced by a new team trained by the HOD, Forensic, VIMS.

The district administration also issued an unconditional apology to the families of the deceased and to others who were hurt by the incident.

Meanwhile, Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa also termed the behaviour of the staff "very inhuman and very painful" and urged the staff to tread cautiously with humanity in handling the funeral of those affected by the disease, and added, "Let's walk with humanity, and realize that there is no greater religion than humanity."

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.

Bengaluru, Jul 13: Former Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Monday said that the state government should provide vitamin C drug, Ayush Ministry-certified immunity boosters and sanitisers to every household in the wake of the coronavirus spread.

"Karnataka government should provide vitamin C drug, Ayush Ministry-certified immunity boosters and sanitisers to every household to fight against COVID-19," Kumaraswamy told media.

The JDS leader further stated that "appropriate medication should be provided to those who are "symptomatic" by the Karnataka government and added that "by taking such measures the government can halt the spread of the virus."

If the government is not able to provide the health kit to everyone then at least they should give it to the BPL families, he added.

Kumaraswamy also stressed upon organising awareness campaigns about the coronavirus and use of supplements among the masses to prevent themselves from contracting the infection.

According to the Union Health Ministry, Karnataka has recorded 38,843 cases of COVID-19 to date.
