Mysuru, Jul 13: Expressing concern over communal unrest and violence in coastal district of Dakshina Kannada, a senior BJP leader has warned that the recent development could affect investments flowing into Karnataka.bc road 11

Nirmala Sitharaman, the Union Minister of State for Commerce and Industry Nirmala Sitharaman, speaking to media persons, here, said that Karnataka was always an investor-friendly State and the potential of Bengaluru is internationally recognised.

“But, if Bengaluru is seen as the capital of a State where such incidents take place and there are law and order issues or people are being killed for ideological reasons with no sufficient action taken to curb it, then it could affect investments,” she said.

Ms. Sitharaman said administrative action should bring greater sense of security and safety. If the State is not strong enough to bring the culprits to justice then investments will suffer and ‘we do not want that to happen’, she said.

Referring to the killing of RSS activists in Mangaluru recently and in Mysuru last year, Ms. Sitharaman said nothing was done to curtail such violence and sufficient action was not taken to nab the suspects or produce them in court.

Ms. Sitharaman claimed that the public response to her door-to-door campaign was overwhelming and people were aware of the development works being taken up the Centre and expressed confidence that the people will stand by the BJP in the assembly elections slated to be held next year.

In reply to a question, Ms. Sitharaman said the concept of vistarak was a nation-wide and not rolled out in anticipation of the elections next year in Karnataka. “I am in Mysuru to spend a day as a Vistarak,” said Mr. Sitharaman, who will also interact with industrialists and entrepreneurs on GST later in the day. Earlier, she also took part in a cleaning campaign at a park under Swachh Bharat Abhiyan and visited a few localities as part of public contact programme.

Bengaluru, Jul 17: Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on Friday held a meeting with the Ministers-in-charge of eight zones to take stock of the COVID-19 situation and its management in Bengaluru.

Yediyurappa suggested that it should be ensured that both COVID-19 and other patients get timely treatment. He advised home quarantine for asymptomatic patients and hospitals and COVID Care Centers would provide treatment for those who are severely symptomatic.

He said, Rapid Antigen Testing should be carried out for those who died in the hospital, for immediate delivery of the corpse for funeral arrangements. He also said to conduct Rapid Antigen Test for those who have died at home and take action for the funeral of the dead.

The chief minister said, lockdown is not a solution to COVID-19 control, he made it clear that the government has no plans to continue with the lockdown in Bengaluru.

"To fill the shortage of doctors, the process of filling vacancies is ongoing," he said.

"Volunteers are identified and ambulances are assigned to each ward.  Strict action should be taken if private hospitals do not provide beds to patients," the Chief Minister said.

The chief minister said volunteers and nodal officers would be appointed to provide information on the enrollment and availability of beds to COVID-19 infected persons in private hospitals.

"Welfare pavilions and lodges have been identified in each ward, suggesting the use of quarters to quarantine those who do not have separate rooms," the Chief Minister said.

He said, allocate bed within two hours of the result of the test and the ambulance must take action to take the person to the hospital. The Chief Minister suggested that the system be decentralised, zoned, and monitored.
