Hubballi, Mar 25: The people living in rural areas of North-Karnataka region have become more aware about deadly Corona virus as they are leaving no stone unturned to prevent people of Bengaluru and other metropolitan cities from entering into their villages. People have put thorny plants on all roads at the outskirts connecting their villages and deployed youths to conduct patrolling round the clock till next 21 days.

"We don't have access to the proper medical care if Corona virus is entered into our village. The Primary Health Centres are not functioning properly and these centers are facing lack of adequate staff and medical equipments unlike in big cities.Therefore, those who have deserted our village to employ in various jobs in Bengaluru and other cities should confirm that they are tested negative for the virus", said Mallikarjun Patil of Kudal village in Hangal taluk of Haveri district. The village has totally banned the outsiders into their village and warned their fellow villagers to return immediately if they have visited to their relatives' homes in neighboring villages to observe 21-day lockdown.

Communal ideology was kept in the freezer for more than 70 years by Nehru and Congress. Because of its Secular credentials, India got good name and fame in the world. Also India is developed much better than its neigbors under the Congress rule. Now the Communal forces are started to come out but mean time it is out dated. People do not want division in the name of religion and silly politics. We are not going to achieve anything by commenting on history nor we cannot blame any one what is happened in the history. What people need is : Good Hospitals, Schools and colleges, Electricity, Jobs, Good Roads - People need peaceful and comfortable life. Not this hell kind of Beef, Mandir Masjid politics. Any party should realize, people will vote for them just by raising these issues, they are only dreaming. Remember people voted Modi for Development not for Hindu Muslim politics. Any governemnt, please concentrate only on providing peaceful and comfortable life for the citizens of India. Nobody interested in Silly politics. Ultimately people will vote only to those who brings developments and non corrupt.
Yes. If you are the real man and have guts reveal the true histoty. Not Chaddi history.
