Mangaluru, Aug 13: In spite of his busy schedule in Uttar Pradesh and other poll-bound states, Bharatiya Janata Party national president Amit Shah will pay a visit to Managluru city and its communally sensitive suburbs on August 21.

amitEven though Dakshina Kannada district unit of BJP has claimed that Mr Shah's visit would be a part of the 70th Independence Day celebrations, it appears to be an attempt to intensify the strengthening process of the saffron party in the region aiming 2018 Assembly polls.

BJP district president Sanjeeva Matandoor told media persons on Saturday that Mr Shah would arrive in the city in the wee hours. He would plant saplings near BJP office in the city and later flag off a 'Thiranga Yatra' at Mahaveer Circle.

Later, Mr Shah would visit Ullal and take part in Balidana Smarane, a programme to remember freedom fighters, who died in the struggle for Independence. He would also take part in a party workers' convention at Konaje, Mr Matandoor said adding that a detailed itinerary will be released once the programme schedule is finalised.

Union minister of statistics and programme implementation D V Sadananda Gowda, former chief minister B S Yeddyurappa, other national and state leaders too will take part in the programme, he said.

I-Day celebrations

Mr Matandoor said that union minister of state for skill development and entrepreneurship (independent charge) Rajiv Pratap Rudy would participate in the 70th Independence Day celebrations of BJP district unit on August 15.

Bengaluru Jul 29: There will be a centralised system in place in Karnataka to classify asymptomatic, symptomatic and mild symptomatic persons and recommend treatment based on the severity of the cases, said Medical Education Minister Dr K Sudhakar on Tuesday here.

"Various existing apps related to COVID-19 will be brought under one platform to get real-time information which will assist in strategising allocation of hospitals/beds to the needy. This will probably remove the delay in bed allocation and treatment which is being faced now. The patients will get all information in one phone call," Dr Sudhakar said.

Sudhakar spoke with a team of experts from the government and Infosys.

Referring to a company by name Step 1, which is providing such services in Delhi and Madhya Pradesh, the Minister said that a similar system will be implemented in the state as well.

"This company is having a team of doctors and nurses which is guiding the people whether they need hospital treatment or home isolation after they are tested positive for COVID-19. More than 70 per cent of the positive cases are being asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic and are advised to go for home isolation," the minister said.

"The load on the hospitals is reduced and severe cases can be administered proper treatment. Infosys co-ordinates with the government to provide technical support for this system," Dr Sudhakar added.

Earlier during the day, the minister held a video conference with the heads of private medical colleges to review COVID preparedness.
The government has already passed guidelines to allocate 50 per cent of hospital beds for COVID patients.

Panaji, Feb 6: Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant on Wednesday told the Legislative Assembly that neighbouring Karnataka has diverted the Mahadayi river water, due to which its flow in the state has taken a hit.

He was speaking during a debate on the motion of thanks to Governor Satya Pal Malik for his address.

Goa and Karnataka are locked in a dispute over sharing of the Mahadayi river water. Goa is strongly opposing the Kalasa Banduri project proposed to be built by Karnataka on the river, which is aimed at providing drinking water to three north Karnataka districts by diverting the Mahadayi water into the Malaprabha river.

Speaking in the House, Sawant said that the flow of Mahadayi river has reduced due to the diversion of water by Karnataka.

"I am admitting that they (Karnataka) have diverted the water. We have brought it to the notice of the Union Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change," he said.

The Goa government has explained to the Centre that the water which flows into the state is "not wasted".

"We have told them that the perennial flow of water is necessary for Goa's wildlife," he said.

Sawant said that his government was serious on the issue of Mahadayi.

"Mahadayi is more than a mother to me. We have not compromised anywhere on the issue. I have been associated with the Mahadayi agitation since 2000," the chief minister said.

He said the issue would be fought before the Supreme Court, where special leave petition has been filed by the state.
