Udupi, February 9: Activists in Udupi BJP belonging to Rajapur Saraswath Brahmin (RSB) community on Wednesday protested infront of the district BJP office for denying the ZP President's seat to senior BJP member Upendra Nayak.

Interestingly Upendra Nayak too participated in the protest where the demonstrators locked the doors of the BJP office and gheraod the BJP President and others officers.

Speaking on the occasion Sadananda Prabhu, a close associate of Upendra Nayak said that their community had been a staunch supporter of BJP for many years. Inspite of the repeated assurances till Tuesday evening, BJP leaders ditched the community by announcing the name of Shankar Poojary to the post.

They also threatened that several gram panchayath members and a few taluk panchayath members would resign protesting against the discrimination against their community.

The issue was temporarily resolved after several rounds of deliberations with MLAs Raghupathi Bhat, Lalaji R Mendon and District BJP President Udaya Kumar Shetty and Somashekhara Bhat.

At the meeting held inside the party office too agitators reported to have threw chairs and demanded justice to their community.

ZP President Katapady Shankar Poojary, immediately after his election announced the name of Upendra Nayak for the post of leader of the BJP members group in the Zilla Panchayath.

Udaya Kumar Shetty said that Shankar Poojary rightly deserved the post as he had been active in the party since over 30 years. “In politics, it is not wrong to expect a position. But here Shankar Poojary's seniority was rightly honoured. It is a decision of the BJP core committee in the district.” Shetty said.

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.

Mangaluru, May 27: Mangaluru MLA U T Khader today urged Dakshina Kannada MP and Karnataka BJP chief Nalin Kumar Kateel to pave the way for immediate repatriation of Mangalureans stranded across Gulf countries.

The development comes amidst reports that lack of preparedness on part of the authorities concerned in Dakshina Kannada compelled the Centre to delay the operation of repatriation flights from various Gulf to Mangaluru International Airport under Vande Bharat Mission.

Lakhs of people from Mangaluru region (coastal Karnataka) alone are working in middle eastern countries like Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain and Qatar. Thousands of them are currently stranded thanks to covid-19 lockdown and are helplessly waiting for repatriation.

Speaking to coastaldigest.com, Mr Khader said he already spoke to Mr Kateel and brought to his notice the plight of Mangalureans in Saudi Arabia and other gulf countries. "There are a large number of pregnant women, senior citizens and patients who need immediate repatriation. It is the responsibility of the elected representatives and district administration to pave the way for the repatriation of our people and arrange quarantine facilities for them," he said. 

"Mr Kaeel is not only MP of Dakshina Kannada. He is also the chief of Karnataka's ruling party. Hence, he must play a crucial role in facilitating the return of Kannadigas in general and Mangalureans in particular," Mr Khader said.
