Kannada activist and Vatal Paksha leader Vatal Nagaraj has announced that Kannada organisations, along with Dalit and farmers’ organisations with a regional perspective, would form Karnataka Praja Samyukta Ranga and field candidates in the Assembly elections.

He said he would hold discussions shortly with farmers’ and Dalit organisations who have concern and commitment for the development of Kannada language and Karnataka, on contesting on a single election manifesto highlighting the State’s issues.

After launching a website of the paksha on Saturday, Mr. Nagaraj said Karnataka and Kannadigas do not get justice from the national political parties.

Mr. Nagaraj, who was an MLA for five terms, said there was poor representation in the Legislative Assembly, the Rajya Sabha and the Lok Sabha of people who could raise their voice for the cause of Kannada.

Bengaluru, May 25: The 36-hour marathon lockdown call given by Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa, passed off peacefully with people opting to remain inside their houses and cooperate with the state government to fight against spread of deadly Covid-19.

Though the call was only for 24 hours from 7 am (Sunday) to 7 am (Monday) another 12 hours was added to it as the night curfew was already in force from 7 pm on Saturday and the next day (Sunday) it continued till Monday up to 7 am.

Autorickshaws and bus service were off the road giving a tough time to people arriving from neighbouring places reach home that too during the night. Adding to their woes was heavy rain that lashed the city for more than two hours on Sunday evening flooding the streets.

Bengaluru, May 16: Health Minister B Sriramulu has sought the aid of Home department for curbing sex work in certain parts of the state - which continues unabated despite lockdown.

“It poses health risks to those involved. I request the department to ensure that the business is prohibited at such a time of crisis,” he stated in a letter to Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai.  

At the same time, in order to ensure the safety of these workers, Sriramulu has asked both the Health department and the Karnataka State AIDS Prevention Society (KSAPS) to come up with a detailed report on rehabilitation of sex workers and transgenders.

The Health minister’s order was prompted by a letter by writer and activist Roopa Hassan. The writer, who was earlier member of a panel (led by actor-turned-politician Jayamala) on the study of issues faced by sex workers, had sought government’s intervention to stop condom distribution to registered sex workers and transgenders, as continuing work during pandemic was posing health risks to the community.
