The team would visit the colleges at Gulbarga, Koppal, Chamrajnagar, Karwar, Madikeri and Gadag, he told reporters here.

The state government is unable to increase the quota of medical seats in its pool as MCI is yet to inspect the six new medical colleges, Patil said. The government will try its best to get the MCI nod for the new colleges, he added.

The recruitment process for the new medical colleges has already begun and infrastructure work is underway, Patil said.

The government is also committed to set up six more medical colleges as announced in this year's state budget, he said. The colleges will be set up in Tumkur, Chitradurga, Chickballapur, Bagalkot, Haveri and Yadgir, Patil said.

Besides, the government plans to set up super-speciality hospitals in Mysore, Hubli, Gulbarga, Belgaum and Bellary to make healthcare affordable.

Lands have been identified in all these districts, except Yadgir and Chickballapur. "We have directed the deputy commissioners of these two districts to identify the land," he added.

These colleges will be established in collaboration with the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences, Patil said.

Kasaragod, Apr 17: Even as this district continue to remain in the high-alert red zone category of Covid-19, Kasaragod has slowly but steadily been limping back to restraint level of the pandemic from a possible slipping into a stage-3 of community spread early this month.

Thanks to the stringent and committed measures implemented by the district administration crisscross the district besides total isolation of few localities by enforcing triple lockdown.

The district had been a Covid-19 hotspot ever since an NRI who returned from the Gulf violated quarantine protocol and travelled wide and far by meeting and contacting with several people including two MLAs of the district. That apart the irresponsible attitude of the people who broke the rules of quarantine and lockdown norms also made things go from bad to worse resulting in contributing for a near-half of the total positive cases in the state at the beginning of April.
