UT Khader is now Minister for Food and Civil Supplies, loses Health portfolio

June 21, 2016

Bengaluru, Jun 21: In a sudden development after the recent Cabinet reshuffle in Karnataka, UT Khader has been reportedly shifted from the Ministry of Health and Family Affairs to the Ministry of Food and Civil Supplies.

1utkhader The decision was taken by chief minister Siddaramiah, who was looking for a competent and active minister to handle the department of Food and Civil Supplies, after the departure of Dinesh Gundu Rao.

According to the Congress party sources, Mr. Rao was dropped from the ministry so that his services could be drafted to organise the party in the light of 2018 Assembly polls.

The CM meanwhile, has reportedly urged Mr Khader, who had topped a series of surveys conducted by various news agencies to assess the performance of ministers the state, to introduce much awaited reforms in the food department.

Sources claimed that Ramesh Kumar, who was newly inducted into Cabinet, will succeeed Mr Khader as the Minister for Health and Family Affairs.

Byre Gowda, Patil Cabinet ministers

Meanwhile, Mr Siddaramaiah elevated Krishna Byre Gowda and Sharan Prakash Patil as Cabinet rank ministers. So far, they were ministers of state for agriculture and medical education respectively.

With Vokkaligas unhappy over not getting berths in the reshuffle, it seems Siddaramaiah has adopted appeasing tactics by making Gowda a Cabinet minister.

Patil, a Lingayat MLA from Sedam of Kalaburagi, is a known close associate Mallikarjun Kharge, MP. A proposal to make them Cabinet ministers went from the government to the Governor on June 18. A notification making the changes was issued on Monday.

I am a APL card holder. When we get ration coupons, in coupons for APL 5 kg rice and 5 kg wheat. When we go to ration shop if we say i do not want wheat only 5 kg rice they do not give. They says if you want rice you should take wheat also. Other wise change in your coupon for rice only. But we can not change only rice.

Kindly tell what is the procedure for only rice and no wheat for me.

Sir,
There is shortage of Non subsidised Commercial L.P.Gas cylinder of 19 Kg capacity in the market as HPCL has stopped giving new cylinders to the dealers since past 6 months.

The reason stated is that the turnaround ratio is less than 1 per month.

It is very surprising stand in the open market regime and HPCL has no ground to take such decision in general. The new release is stopped to those dealers who has more than 1 turnaround per month.

Black marketing of commercial cylinders is now a reality.Thanks to HPCL !!!

You are requested to appraise our food minister to manage this issue and oblige.
Regards

Will protest if Indian Muslims are troubled by NRC, says Ramdev

News Network

January 30,2020

Hubballi, Jan 30: Seeking to disabuse people of the notion that the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA), recently passed by the BJP-led central government threatened the legitimacy of Muslims in the country, yoga guru Baba Ramdev on Wednesday said that he would among the first to take to the streets should the community face any such trouble. “If the National Register of Citizens (NRC) threatens injustice to Indian Muslims, it I not just I, but a billion Indians will protest against its implementation,” he added.

Recalling his longstanding association with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Ramdev said, “I have known Modi for more than 15 years, and I can assure you that he cannot be called anti-Muslim. There is nothing in the CAA that threatens the rights of Muslims, some of whom are being misled by a few.”

The yoga guru said that, while 99% of the Muslims in India were patriotic, the remaining ones were seeking to divide the country, which he said was resulting in Islam falling into disgrace. “I appeal to all Muslims to keep away from such anti-national forces seeking to bring a bad name to Islam,” said Ramdev, calling on the people to stay united in the face of the severe economic crisis that the country was presently in the grips of.

He added that he was as committed to his goal of getting black money back to India. However, when quizzed by journalists as to how long he was willing to wait for PM Modi to realise this objective, Ramdev said, “Chodi, mere aur Modi ke beech jagada mat lao (Please do not incite a fight between Modi and me).”

The yoga guru also endorsed the decision of the Centre to recognise singer Adnan Sami with a Padma award.

Karnataka: Deputy CM inspects India's first modular ICU containers

News Network

July 19,2020

Bengaluru, Jul 19: The Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister C N Ashwathnarayan on Saturday inspected the country's first modular Intensive Care Unit (ICU) containers.

A notice from the Chief Minister's Office (CMO) said that the new mobile modular container ICUs, which will be used in the fight against the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, have been created by Rinac India Limited, known for setting up sanitised operation theatres and clean rooms in hospitals.

On a pilot basis, the Deputy CM, who is also in charge of setting up COVID-care centres, said that 10 modular container ICUs will be deployed at the KC General Hospital in Malleshwaram. Each of the containers will have five beds.

Deputy CM Ashwathnarayan also said, "These mobile ICUs donated by Rinac will be useful, particularly in times of a crisis like COVID 19 or any natural calamity."

"The entry of health officials will be through an airlock, and entry of patients will be through a different door. There will be two doors for patients and can be increased if need. ICUs are fitted with cameras to monitor online from a centralized monitoring station, thereby limiting the exposure of the health personnel," the CMO informed.

The CMO further added, "the advantages of this new system are that the prefabricated modules of 5 can be shifted to any location by trailers and it is easy to deploy multiple containers to create a common facility. They are easy to clean and the airtight functionality ensures that no moisture or heat ingression happens, hence, it is easy to air-condition or ventilate."
