Mangalore, Apr 2: Well-known Kannada anchor Hameed Palya has assumed charge as the new Chief of 'Suvarna News 24X 7, the Asianet's second channel in the Kannada speaking market.

Sources within the channel said that he was appointed as chief on Thursday, March 31. HR Ranganath, who was holding the top post since September, 2009, will continue with the channel as the advisor of the editorial board.

It can be recalled that when Mr Ranganath had joined the channel after quitting 'Kannada Prabha' daily, then Chief Shashidhar Bhat had been given a new role as the advisor of the editorial board, though he held the position for a short period.

Fans across the state are curiously awaiting how the most appreciated Kannada anchor, hailing from Palya, a village near Hassan, will lead his channel and compete with other round the clock news channels.

However, the fans of Mr Ranganath need not to be disappointed as he will continue to host the two popular shows of the channel: 'Jugal Bandi' and 'Public Voice'. Mr Ranganath has played a key role in attracting large number of viewers to the 'Suvarna News 24X 7'.

Hameed Palya made his debut in the world of media as a news-reader with ETV Kannada in the early 2000s and got a real break when he joined TV9 around 2005 and gained popularity for his gripping interviews of news-makers under the title Chakravyooha.

A law graduate and son of a PWD contractor, the Beary speaking Palya grew in stature after becoming the political editor of Suvarna News 24x7 and was also duly acknowledged with Rajyotsava and Madhyama Academy awards.

Dubai, Feb 13: An Indian expatriate found to be infected with coronavirus in the UAE on February 10 is in a stable condition, the Indian Embassy told Gulf News.

“The Indian is a 36-year-old male,” an embassy official said, adding “he a resident of the UAE”.

However, the official did not say if the man had any travel history to China and also refused to divulge which state he hailed from.

On February 10, the Ministry of Health said the Indian national was found infected with coronavirus in the latest such case in the UAE. “The Indian national had interacted with a recently diagnosed person,” the ministry had said in a statement.

"All reported cases are in stable condition, except for one case, who is being put under close observation by a team of senior consultants at the Intensive Care Unit," added the statement.

The man is among the eight cases of coronavirus detected in the UAE so far. Others include six Chinese nationals and one from Philippines.

Earlier this week, the UAE announced that one of the infected patients, a 73-year-old Chinese national, Liu Yujia, had recovered.

Mangaluru, Jan 16: Following the widespread protests against the National Register of Citizens (NRC) and Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), former minister and MLA UT Khader on Thursday urged the Centre and State government to address the concerns of the people.

Speaking to reporters here on Thursday, he said there is widespread confusion among the public with regard to the implementation of the Act. People are reluctant to open their doors to Asha workers, out of fear that the NRC exercise is being implemented, said Khader.

He urged the chief minister and home minister to gain the trust of the people on the CAA issue.
