Mangalore, October 18: Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar and Chief Minister D V Sadananda Gowda will lay foundation stone for the Phase III extension work of the fishing jetty in the fisheries harbour at old port on November 2.

The development work will be completed within three years, said Fisheries and Science and Technology Minister Anand V Asnotikar.

Speaking to the media persons during his visit to the old port to review the preparations for the foundation stone laying programme, on Monday, he said that the extension work will be taken up by the 'Mangalore based' Yojaka Company at a cost of Rs 57 crore. The new jetty will be 1,100 metres long and will be spacious enough to anchor 550 boats.

Dredging work

On the dredging work in the port, he said that Yojaka Company has already imported a dredging machine for the jetty extension work. The government has no plans to buy equipments to dredge at the estuaries as it requires a huge amount.

“The problem will be solved if Yojaka Company takes up the dredging work at the estuaries. The government will reserve Rs 4.5 crore for the same work. The work of Hejamady harbour has begun and tender for Mangalore harbour has been invited,” he said.When he was asked about providing compensation to the kin of six fishermen who went missing in the boat tragedy recently, he said the government has already given Rs 50,000 compensation to the victims' family. However the government could not give the full compensation amount as the bodies of the fishermen are not found so far.

Replying to one of the queries regarding the local fishermen facing harassment from fishermen and police in Kerala, Asnotikar said that he would take up the issue with the police officials in Kerala.

“A meeting will be held with the secretaries of the Fisheries Department of both the States to discuss issues pertaining to the fishermen. Solution will be found soon,” he informed.

Fisheries Department Deputy Director Suresh Kumar, KFDC Chairman Nithin Kumar, former KFDC Chairman Ramachandra Baikampady and others were present.

Mangaluru, Jul 15: Amidst mounting coronavirus cases, the district administration has finalised 80 covid care centres (CCC) in Dakshina Kannada.

Sindhu B Rupesh, deputy commissioner of DK, said that as many as 80 premises that were functioning as quarantine centres have now been identified as CCCs in the district.

People in the district have been demanding that CCCs should be opened for asymptomatic cases in the district too. 

A majority of around 1,500 active cases in Dakshina Kannada are asymptomatic, and the CCCs will help those planning to go to private hospitals to reduce their treatment costs.

Additional deputy commissioner M J Roopa said that the 80 CCCs identified throughout the district will work as care centres for asymptomatic Covid-19 patients.

A medical team will attend to the centres, and supply of food and water will be taken care of by the government. In case of any health issues, the patient will be shifted to the Covid hospital, she said.

“All asymptotic Covid-19 patients, who are unable to opt for home isolation, are being kept in CCCs. A designated health team will monitor each CCC in the district. Meanwhile, the nearest public health centre (PHC) will have an ambulance on standby in case of an emergency,” she added.

Newsroom, Jun 14: Bollywood star Sushant Singh Rajput, who was found dead in his house in Mumbai’s Bandra today, was heartbroken after the death of his former manager Disha Salian.

34-year-old actor had posted a heartfelt note after her death: “It’s such devastating news. My deepest condolences to Disha’s family and friends. May your soul rest in peace.” 

The police are considering 28-year-old Disha’s death as an accidental one and the investigation is on to find if it was a suicide. She died after falling off the 14th floor of a building in Malad, Mumbai on June 8.

It is not yet known if there is any connection between the two deaths. Sushant’s house help reportedly found him hanging inside his room on Sunday and cops are investigating the case. He was recently seen in Nitesh Tiwari’s Chhichhore and more recently on Netflix opposite Jacqueline Fernandez in Drive.

Who is Disha Salian?

Disha Salian hails from Karnataka’s coastal district of Udupi. She was born in 1992 into a business family background. She reportedly migrated to Mumbai with her family at an early age. 

After completing her education, she worked in the Times of India Group for more than three years. She went on to become the celebrity manager at Media Vantage.
