Convene legislature party meet to discuss ACB, Kharge tells Siddu

March 31, 2016

New Delhi, Mar 31: A day after former chief minister S M Krishna's meeting with Congress president Sonia Gandhi and vice-president Rahul Gandhi, senior Congress leader Mallikarjuna Kharge on Wednesday said Chief Minister Siddaramaiah should convene the Congress Legislature Party meeting immediately and take the party's view on the decision to set up the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

KHARGE Kharge's statement gains significance as Krishna, at the meeting, cautioned about the decision to set up the ACB.

The chief minister should clarify the doubts about the ACB in the party forum and put an end to the controversy, Kharge told Deccan Herald.

“Congress always favoured a strong Lokpal to fight corruption. This is my stand also,” he said.

The State government has formed the ACB, which exists in 15 states. However, before taking such a decision, the chief minister should have discussed the pros and cons in the party forum, he said.

Dismissing charges that he had supported the move to “weaken” the Lokayukta, Kharge said he had never indulged in such activities.

Neither did he support the ACB nor had he given any suggestions on it, Kharge, Congress party leader in the Lok Sabha, said.

Dismissing media speculations that he had supported the ACB after his recent meeting with the chief minister, Kharge said that he was not at all a party to this controversy.

Earlier, senior Congress leader Janardhana Poojary had suggested the chief minister to reconsider the decision to set up the ACB.

Coronavirus: Rapid antigen tests to begin in Dakshina Kannada

News Network

July 14,2020

Mangaluru, July 14: In order to detect COVID-19 cases quickly in Dakshina Kannada, the government has commissioned a programme to administer rapid antigen tests.

The coastal district has already received 3,500 rapid antigen test kits, which can give results in 30 minutes, an official said, adding that tests will be conducted shortly and training is being imparted on the use of the kits.

The antigen tests will be conducted for emergency cases like delivery, surgery, persons with severe symptoms of Covid-19, multiple-organ failure and for those whose condition is critical.

"If a symptomatic patient tests negative for Covid-19, then his throat swab sample would be sent for lab testing," the district health officer (DHO) said.

The rapid antigen tests is expected to help in increasing the number of tests and bring down the load of testing on labs, as antigen kits allow faster diagnosis.

It takes a minimum of eight hours to get the results via real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test. Antigen tests can provide results within half an hour.
