As many as 11 PUC and 26 SSLC academically bright children took home scholarships ranging from Rs 20,000 to Rs 50, 000 to pursue their future education.

Speaking on the occasion, Ronald Colaco said that it was his way of service for the policemen who are overburdened with the responsibility of maintaining law and order in the society round the clock.

He said that there was a need to pay attention to the problem of police personnel. “This is one of the ways to recognise the tireless efforts, the police put in to serve the people at large,” he opined.

He said hitherto, it was Bangalore city police that benefited from his philanthropic streak, which started with remodelling the Fraser Town Police station.

Calling upon the corporate entity to come forward to extend their support to the policemen, he said the infrastructure upgradation in police stations pave the way to the drastic changes in behaviour of the police.

More than 500 schoolbags along with the stationery materials were distributed among the students.

Mangaluru, Jul 21: Private hospitals cannot send back COVID-19 patients for any reason, district in-charge minister Kota Srinivas Poojary said on Monday.

The Minister was addressing a meeting at the Father Muller Medical College here on the arrangements made for COVID-19 patients.

Dakshina Kannada district is quite advanced in the medical field. Hence, the government will not tolerate COVID-19 patients wandering from one hospital to another for treatment. Refusing to admit COVID-19 patients in hospitals is unacceptable, he warned.

Mangaluru, May 19: In a bizarre incident which exposes the publicity craze of “philanthropists”, members of a city-based organisation returned without disturbing grocery kits after villagers refused to be photographed while receiving them. 

The incident took place at Mukrampady village in Puttur a few days ago. According to sources, a team belonging to an organisation from Mangaluru had visited the village with a letter from their organisation, to distribute grocery kits to families near mosques in the month of Ramadan. 

The team members reportedly insisted the beneficiaries to pose for pictures with the team near a mosque while being given the food kit. The villagers refused to fulfil their wish.

The organisation members then left the place without handing over the Ramadan kits, sources said.
