Arathi Krishna, Deputy Chairperson of NRI Forum of Karnataka government, who has been associated with non-resident Indians and persons of Indian origin for several years, is now considering to tread the path of her father by entering the state politics.

In a candid chat with coastaldigest.com during her visit to Jubail in Saudi Arabia on Saturday, Ms Krishna said that she’s ready to contest the upcoming Karnataka assembly polls if the high command and chief minister want her to enter the poll fray.

Daughter of Begane Ramaiah, a veteran Congress leader and former rural development minister, an ever-smiling Ms Krishna considers former prime minister Indira Gandhi, whom she had met at the age of 10, as her role model.

Though she spent several years abroad, Ms Krishna is emotionally attached to her parental hometowns – her father Ramaiah hailed from Begane near Sringeri in Chikkamagaluru while her mother Seetha hailed from Kadthur in Shivamogga.

Ms Krishna holds a master degree in ‘political science’ from Mysore University, another master degree in ‘international commerce and public’ from George Mason University, Washington, and an honorary doctorate from Kuvempu University.

Earlier she worked as a Community Development Officer in the Indian Embassy in Washington DC, and as an Adviser in the India Development Foundation, Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs. She also has set up an NGO ‘Krishna Foundation’ to partake in socio-economic needs and provide improved educational facilities in remote villages of Karnataka.

Since i know her personally, i can say that she's a very focused and hardworking woman whom we rarely would come across, let alone any politician. She does not need to play any gimmicks to win a ticket, in her present portfolio. If she agree to contest, that would be a blessing for the people of Karnataka. We wish her all the best and like to see more achievements on her way.. 

 

It’s not good to call it political gimmick. There is nothing connection between Saudi visit and assembly ticket. To get ticket she has to lobby staying back in Bangaluru. We must appreciate her visiting labour camps in Saudi Arabia.

All this gimmicks from her is just to catch up an assembly ticket. Karnataka Govt has done nothing to address neither the problems of Gulf Kannadiga’s nor a single word in this year’s budget about NRI’S. Just a NRI forum, which is toothless and only achievement of this forum is creating a dysfunctional website .Now as the election is nearing up she just woke up and requesting NRI'S to register with that dysfunctional website! Disguisting, taking poor Gulf Kannadigas for a ride.

Bengaluru, June 23: A frustrated chartered accountant has committed suicide after killing his wife and mother-in-law in two different cities of India.

The murder-murder-suicide came amid acrimonious divorce proceedings that might have also involved a property dispute, police said.

Amit flew to Bengaluru last weekend to kill his estranged wife at her Whitefield residence before returning to Kolkata, where he shot dead his mother-in-law and then killed himself at an upscale residential complex in North Kolkata on Monday evening.

Amit and his wife Shilpi Agarwal, who is also a CA, had been living separately since last the two years after their marriage turned sour.

Amit took his 10-year-old son from Bengaluru with him on Monday and dropped him at his uncle’s house before heading to his in-laws’ place Phoolbagan, police said.

Neighbours told cops they heard arguments “appeared to be” over some property documents that Amit wanted his in-laws — 70-year-old Subhas and 62-year-old Lalita Dhandhania — to sign.

The first gunshot was heard a little before 6.30pm, following which Subhas ran out of his flat, bolted the door from outside and took refuge inside his next-door neighbour’s apartment. Police arrived a few minutes later to find Amit and his mother-in-law dead. Police found a suicide note from the flat.

Bengaluru, Aug 2: Bengaluru based Centre for Advanced Research and Development (CARD), the research wing of organisation De scalene has come up with a device called "SHYCOCAN" (Scalene Hypercharge Corona Canon) which neutralizes the coronavirus.

Speaking to news agency Dr Rajah Vijay Kumar, Chairman, Organisation De Scalene said that the device will not kill any bacteria or fungus, however, neutralizes the coronavirus particles.

"The device was tested for its safety and efficacy and is soon going to be manufactured and marketed in the US under the Enforcement Discretion policy of USFDA and in Europe as the device is CE compliant and is CE marked," said Kumar.

He also added the device will cover a volume of 10,000 cubic feet.

The device Scalene Hypercharge Corona Canon (SHYCOCAN) is intended to be used in the residential, industrial and commercial environment and is designed for active containment by attenuation of Corona family of viruses. (Laboratories de Especialidades Immunological S.A. de C.V, Virucidal Activity concludes 99.9 per cent virus elimination), Kumar asserted.

"SHYCOCAN operates on regular 110/240V - 50/60 Hz wall socket and is a plug and play device, that delivers the necessary signals to a photon mediated electrons emitters (PMEE), that produces hypercharge high-velocity electrons by photon mediation that interacts with the negative seeking S-protein of Corona family of viruses thus reducing infectivity and prevent air and surface borne transmission of corona family of viruses," said Kumar.

The device does not use any chemicals, or any other consumables and does not produce harmful ozone gas or any other substances and is completely safe for use in any environment, he added.

"The attack mechanism of the Virus starts with the initial attachment of the virion to the host cell, it is initiated by interactions between the S-protein and its receptor on the "negative" cell membrane. The sites of receptor binding domains (RBD) within the S1 region of a coronavirus S-protein vary depending on the virus. 

The S-protein/receptor interaction is the primary determinant for a coronavirus to infect a host species and governs the tissue tropism of the virus. However, the end result is the fusion and release of the viral genome into the cytoplasm," said Kumar.

He continued saying that the counter mechanism by the device SHYCOCAN is that if negative seeking is the guidance mechanism of the S- Protein, attracted by the transmembrane potential of the host cells, then breaking this mechanism would block the Coronavirus infectivity and spread.

"The device has been in use for more than a year at the S-CARD campus, the headquarters of Scalene," said Kumar.
