RTO seizes 10 buses without emergency doors

May 4, 2014

Mangalore, May 4: Officials at Mangalore Regional Transport Offices have seized 10 private buses that do not have emergency doors as mandated in wake of accidents involving Volvo buses in Karnataka.

The department had earlier announced that no buses would be allowed to ply after April 30, if they had not installed emergency doors.

The Karnataka government had issued an ultimatum to the transport operators to fix the emergency exits in both private and KSRTC buses. The ultimatum followed several incidents involving buses catching fire leading to casualties. Besides the emergency exits, several other safety measures too had been prescribed.

Mangalore RTO booked cases against 28 buses, including eight belonging to Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation on Saturday.

RTO Afzal Ahmed Khan said that of the 10 seized buses, one is a KSRTC bus. In fact, on May 1, a total of 18 cases were booked for failing to install emergency doors.

“The seized buses will be detained for one day and an undertaking will be taken from the bus owners that emergency doors will be fitted. The owners will have to give the address of the garage where the emergency doors will be fitted and after installing the emergency door, it will be inspected by the officials and documents related to the buses will be handed over back to the bus owners,” he said.

The officials said the drive will continue in the coming days, till all the luxury buses comply with the rules.

In fact, the bus operators were told to install the emergency exits at a reasonable height on the side of the bus.

The directive comes following two incidents of Volvo buses catching fire, which led to the death of 52 passengers on-board.

The passion of young Ms Tabassum and Social Working of today, particularly, gives me lot of hope. It almost feels like the political class wants to bring down India while the people are so hard working and committed to nation building.

Congratulation Miss. Way to go.

PS: Media has been compromised and fake news factories churn out crap daily. Thanks CD for bringing this news to readers.

CONGRATULATIONS.

Mrs.Tabassum's service for humanity is highly commendable.She looks after HIV & AIDS effected children with compassion like mother without expecting anything in returns.

She is the alumni of JF managed Green View PU womens college at Derealakette.

She deserve for more prestigious awards even like "Padma Shri" for her selfless and sincere services for the society and the nation.

All the best.

Karnataka stops covid-19 testing for asymptomatic international travellers

May 28,2020

Bengaluru, May 28: The Karnataka government has done away with previously mandatory COVID-19 testing for asymptomatic international travellers.

The development comes a day after the government issued a circular, which allowed placing of international travellers into home quarantine if they had completed seven days of institutional quarantine.

A circular signed by Jawaid Akhtar, Additional Chief Secretary to the State Government, dated May 27, says that any “person who has completed seven days of institutional quarantine and is asymptomatic can be permitted for home quarantine with a COVID-19 test (RT-PCR), subject to undergoing a medical check-up.”

This check-up equates to thermal screening (with a required temperature of under 37.5C or 99.5F and pulse oximetry of under 94%).

The circular added that all elderly people, over the age of 60, and those with comorbidities (such as Diabetes mellitus, hypertension, asthma, heart ailment, renal disease...etc) are “required to be clinically evaluated diligently prior to shifting them for quarantine.”

On Wednesday, Pankaj Pandey, Commissioner, the Department of Health and Family Welfare said that these new guidelines were based on recommendations from the COVID Task Force. A member of the COVID Task Force said that new strategies had been formulated based on the latest findings on how the SARS-Cov-2 virus affects people.
