Mangaluru, Jul 24: Even though Karnataka government has declared two-day holidays for students of both private and government schools across the state, it would not apply to Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts.

studnetThe state government took the decision to declare holiday on July 25 and 26 in view of indefinite bus strike called by KSRTC and BMTC bus workers who have been demanding for a 15% hike in DA.

The Indian Vehicle Drivers Trade Union with a strength of over 1 lakh drivers has also decided to support the indefinite strike from Monday.

However, compared to other parts of the state the government bus strike may not have major impact in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi district as most of the commuters in these two districts are dependent on private buses and other vehicles.

Hence, district administrations of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi have decided not to declare holiday for schools and colleges in the district.

Exam postponed

Meanwhile, Mangalore University has postponed its B Ed examination scheduled on July 25 to July 27 owing to government bus strike.

Bengaluru, Mar 19: As a precautionary measure to prevent the spread of coronavirus, the Karnataka State Board of Auqaf has issued an advisory to mosques, dargahs and other religious institutions, requesting them to conclude the Friday congregation in 15 minutes for the next three weeks.

"Respected head of masjids and imams (prayer leader) are requested to conclude the entire Juma congregation (including Juma khutbah, salah and dua) in 15 minutes for the next three weeks and avoid using the public mic for the khutbah and salah," read a statement from the Karnataka State Board of Auqaf.

It has advised to ensure cleanliness and good hygiene inside mosques and keep the carpets, prayer mats, floor mats etc clean.

Further, it stated that those coming for daily prayers should be instructed to perform wudhu (ablution) at their homes and avoid using prayer caps placed in masjids.

"Please remove the public towels and prayer caps from the masjids. Sunnah and nafil prayers should observed at home," the advisory read.

The advisory came as the number of coronavirus patients spiralled across the country. The governments are taking all precautionary measures to contain the spread of the virus that has claimed more than 7,500 lives across the globe since its outbreak in China in December last year.

Doesn't this reflect upon our stupidity. They have lost the whole point of virus spread. Let's pray as per our so called Muslim religious leaders IQ level that the virus does not spread among the hundreds in that 15 minutes.This is exactly why we are losing it.
