Mangalore, March 25: As many as 63 achievers representing a plethora of fields were conferred Talent Milad Award 2012 at a function held at Town Hall on Sunday under the aegis of Talent Research Foundation.

Niyaz Panakaje, who is pursuing his degree fighting all odds and making a living for his family by running auto-rickshaw both in the morning and the evening, Nagaraj Rao, who has been carrying out his duty of distributing milk and papers even without taking a break for the last 30 years, Helen, a 44-year-old widow who has been looking after her family after the death of her husband by carrying on the laundry job, Abdul Jaleel, who helped during the rescue and search mission after the 2010 Mangalore air crash were among those who received huge round of applause when they were draped with a shawl and handed the mementoes and the felicitation certificate.

The family members of the each of the great personalities, after whom the award was given, were called on to the stage when the respective awards were given. Mohammed Rafeeq, the advisor of the TRF, read out the felicitation remarks. The awards were given under 18 categories and the awardees included three persons from different communities in all the categories. The organization had taken special care to identify achievers who had remained anonymous and selected them for the award.

Maulana Abdul Azeez, who inaugurated the function, stressed on the values propagated by Islam and the final Prophet. “The values of Islam encouraged human beings to shun three Ws and replace them with three Ws. We need will power in place of war. Work should replace wine and worship should take the place of woman,” he said and highlighted the importance attached by Islam to social service, which according to him, is as sacred as Ibadath.

Giving an example of an Olympic hero who sacrificed the pursuit of medal to save the life of a fellow-rower, Maulana Abdul Azeez, said by upholding the human values the Olympian lost out on gold. “But his gesture came to be known as a golden gesture,” he added.

Nisar Ahmed, Inspector General of Police, Bangalore, who was the chief guest, quoting Chapter Al-Asr from Holy Quran, said that those who serve humanity are bound to succeed both in this life and the hereafter.

“The biggest satisfaction for an individual is to bring a positive change in the society where he is living. Unfortunately today people have forgotten all the values. While God gives, gives and forgives, man gets, gets and forgets,” Mr. Ahmed said.

U.T. Khader, Mangalore MLA, urged the youth to use the freedom that the Indian constitution has granted judiciously. “We should exercise our freedom of speech and other rights for the welfare of the country and the community,” he said.

He also expressed happiness over the presence of a large number of Muslim women in the audience, and said, “No community can prosper without the cooperation of the women, who are almost 50 per cent of our population. Even today, women have a key role in deciding the destiny of a community.”

Three books were released on the occasion. Haji Abdul Khader, Evergreen Suppliers, Mangalore released 'Savi Nenapu' and handed over the first copy to A Haq Assadi, Assadi Group, Mangalore. “Summary of Sachar Committee and Wakf Irregularities,” was released by Mayor Gulzar Banu, who handed over the first copy to R.

Bengaluru, May 25: Helpless dairy farmers in a village in Bangaluru Rural district have dumped around 4,000 litres of milk into drains and on anthills.

The shocking incident took place at Chikka Korati near Hoskote yesterday after the Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) refused to collect the milk because a pregnant woman in the village had tested positive for Covid-19.

The village was sealed off three days ago and three of the woman’s family was sent to institutional quarantine. The incident is an embarrassment since the government has been urging people not to stigmatise patients or their contacts.

“In Hoskote taluk, we lead in milk production,” Guru Korati, a villager, said. “There are around 130 families in the village, but we have two milk producers’ cooperative societies (MPCSs) – Chikka Korati MPCS and Dinne Korati MPCS. Our village produces more than 4,000 litres per day. The KMF refused to collect milk from both societies after they learnt about the positive case. Frustrated, we poured the milk down the drain.”

Guru wanted the government to address the village’s problems. “We are not only struggling to sell milk, but we also cannot transport vegetables which we cultivate,” he said.

Veerabhadrappa, from Chikka Korati in Bayala Narasapura gram panchayat, said: “Several families have cows enough to yield more than 50 litres of milk. What will they do with such a huge quantity of milk?”

Mehaboob Sab, panchayat development officer (PDO) of Bayala Narasapura GP, said, “We aren’t sure how the woman contracted Covid-19. A family member had visited Tamil Nadu and the woman also frequently visited a hospital in Kolar for checkups. We are still tracing her contacts.”

Bengaluru, Jul 7: There seems no impact of Covid-19 on kharif crop sowing in Karnataka with the current year actually being ahead of previous years, according to an official here on Monday.

"In agriculture, as far as sowing is concerned, there is no impact of COVID-19," Agriculture Commissioner Brijesh Kumar Dikshit told IANS. One of the reasons, according to Dikshit, is that people in rural areas are aware, but not scared of the pandemic.

"In rural India, coronavirus is there. People are aware, not scared. They are taking precautions, but don't have any phobia," he said.

Another reason was that by June the number of infections in Karnataka was not as high as other states, when a lot of sowing was done, he said.

By the end of June, Karnataka saw 15,242 Covid-19 cases. Of that, 7,074 were active.

The sowing is ahead of previous year as it's mostly dependent on weather. "It's ahead of previous years. Agriculture is directed by weather and rains had been slightly earlier this year," he said.

According to Karnataka State Natural Disaster Monitoring Centre, at 185 mm the state received 14 mm less rain in June against the normal 199 mm. "It's like a normal year, or slightly a good year," he said.

Some crops will be sown in the last fortnight of July and few more will extend up to August 15. "The last two weeks will be critical and on July 31 we should be able to tell whether we are short or ahead," he said.

According to preliminary indications, the Commissioner said the area under agriculture is increasing this year, which could also be because that labourers might have come back.

Mumbai, June 9: A 45-year-old doctor posted in the 108 ambulance service at Malad railway station in Mumbai died of COVID-19 after two hospitals refused admission, in spite of the fact that he was a frontline warrior against coronavirus.

The victim is Dr Shaukat Ali, who was working with the 108 ambulance service for the last four years. A few days ago, he got his blood tests done after his health deteriorated. The result stated typhoid fever following which he started getting treatment at home in Malwani.

Ali's family ran from pillar to post to get him hospitalised in either a private or government hospital, to no avail.

"On Friday, his condition worsened and he started feeling breathless. Despite us calling the 108 ambulance service, no one picked up the call. So after waiting for a while, I and uncle's colleague, Dr Nigam, rushed him to SK Patil hospital in Malad East in an auto. But they refused us stating they were admitting only COVID-19 patients.”

“Then we took him to Desai Hospital, where doctors were initially ready to admit him but later refused stating lack of beds. They said we could take him home as his condition was fine," Zubair Shaikh, Ali's nephew said.

"But his condition worsened. So, I called Dr Nigam and we managed to admit him in Shatabdi hospital. On Sunday, when his results came out stating that he had COVID-19, doctors had already put him on a ventilator, where he passed away in the evening," he added.

Zubair further said, "Had the doctors at Desai Memorial Hospital admitted him, my uncle would have been alive today. It is a matter of great regret that a doctor, who was risking his life during this pandemic, could not get help from his own government hospitals."

Ali's wife and his two children's are in UP, while he was staying with his elder daughter who had recently appeared for HSC exams and preparing for NEET.
