Bengaluru, Aug 22: Karnataka has initiated the process for one year compulsory government service by medical post graduates (PG), asking them to register to begin at a time when the state is overwhelmed by the coronavirus pandemic and shortage of doctors, a minister said on Saturday.

 “For the first time after the Supreme Court verdict in August 2019, we have begun an online registration process for compulsory government service after PG medical courses,” said Medical Education Minister K. Sudhakar.

He said these candidates will be posted as senior residents and tutors in medical education or equivalent posts in the health department.

Counselling procedure for the mandatory government service of successful MD, MS and Diploma candidates in July and August will be held shortly.

“As a preliminary preparation, all candidates who have passed are hereby instructed to compulsorily register by August 25th 3 p.m. without fail,” said an official.

Principals and heads of institutes have been entrusted with the task of ensuring that graduates comply with the registration process.

The medical education department has invoked the Karnataka Compulsory Service by Candidates Completed Medical Courses (Amendment) Act 2012, Section (4) for post graduates.

According to this Act, one year of government service is mandatory for all medical post graduates admitted under any category in Karnataka.

Similarly, duty allocation is on a first come first serve merit basis.

“The allotment will be on a first come first serve cum merit basis. They shall lose the right to merit for allotment if they fail to register. Hence, all candidates are directed to compulsorily register,” he said.

Likewise, a no objection certificate (NOC) for reciprocal registration between candidates will not be issued without the endorsement of the director of medical education.

Colleges have also been instructed not to issue certificates without the director’s endorsement.

More than a week ago, Sudhakar had announced that 2,000 PG medical students are poised to join forces to strengthen the state’s battle against the pandemic.

The compulsory service move comes at a time when the Karnataka health department is overwhelmed by the Covid situation and the shortage of doctors.

To tide over the shortage, the Bengaluru civic body has already advertised some vacancies and recruited doctors, nurses and other medical staff.

With 7,571 more infections on Friday, the statewide Covid tally rose to 2.64 lakh cases.

It is sheer exploitation, as these pg doctors have spent substantial lifespan of their youth pursuing their ambition and now they need to be at their respective places & settle down in life. Although within the state candidates can still manage but those from other states get stuck up & shall be at a disadvantage. Govt should review keeping in view the above issue.

Sir,
It is good that compulsary medical service was announced for pg medical for one year,but it is very unfortunate that no step has been taken for employment for pg students who have completed their education.If late appointment will be done then it will be wastage of time for students as many students are from out of state.They have used their lives nearly 8years in medical education.The programme must be fixed for students who have passed the exam otherwise he ie she should be released from such compulsory bond
Thanks

New Delhi: Two days after he was granted bail and walked out of prison after six months, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal announced his shock resignation from the top post at a party meeting this afternoon. "Two days later, I will resign as Chief Minister. I will not sit on that chair till the people announce their verdict. Elections in Delhi are months away. I got justice from the legal court, now I will get justice from the people's court. I will sit on the Chief Minister's chair only after the order of the people," he said. 

"I want to ask the people of Delhi, is Kejriwal innocent or guilty? If I have worked, vote for me," he said, adding that a meeting of AAP MLAs will be held within the next two days to choose the new Chief Minister for the national capital.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader said a member of the party will be named Chief Minister after his resignation. He said he would go among the people and ask for their support. Mr Kejriwal also demanded that the elections in the national capital, scheduled for February, be held in November along with the polls in Maharashtra.

In his address to the AAP workers, Mr Kejriwal launched an all-out attack against the Narendra Modi government and said it was more dictatorial than the British.

He said he did not resign as Chief Minister despite being arrested because he wanted to save democracy. "They have registered cases against (Karnataka Chief Minister) Siddaramaiah, (Kerala Chief Minister) Pinarayi Vijayan, (Bengal Chief Minister) Mamata didi (Banerjee). I want to appeal to non-BJP, do not resign if they register cases against you. This is their new game," he said.

Mr Kejriwal said he had also spoken to former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia about the issue. Mr Sisodia too was recently granted bail in connection with corruption allegations surrounding Delhi's now-scrapped liquor policy. "I spoke to Manish, he too has said that he will handle the post only after the people say we are honest. My and Sisodia's fate are in your hands now," he said.

Responding to the shocking development, BJP's Harish Khurana questioned why the AAP leader is creating a drama. "Why after 48 hours? he should resign today. In the past too, he has done this. People of Delhi are asking, he can't go to the secretariat, can't sign documents? What is the point then?" Asked if the BJP was ready for early polls, Mr Khurana replied, "We are ready, whether it is today or tomorrow. We will return to power in Delhi after 25 years."

New Delhi: The Supreme Court today sought a report from the Karnataka High Court over controversial remarks made by Justice Vedavyasachar Srishananda during a recent court hearing.

Justice Srishananda, while addressing a landlord-tenant dispute, referred to a Muslim-majority area in Bengaluru as "Pakistan" and made a misogynistic comment involving a woman lawyer. 

A five-judge bench led by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, along with Justices S Khanna, B R Gavai, S Kant, and H Roy, expressed the need for establishing clear guidelines for constitutional court judges regarding their remarks in court. 

The Supreme Court bench said that when social media plays an active role in monitoring and amplifying courtroom proceedings, there is an urgency to ensure judicial commentary aligns with the decorum expected from courts of law.

"Our attention has been drawn to some comments made by Karnataka High Court judge Justice V Srishananda during the conduct of judicial proceedings. We have asked the AG and SG to assist us. We ask the registrar general of the High Court to submit a report to this court after seeking administrative directions from the Chief Justice of Karnataka High Court. This exercise may be carried out in 2 weeks," the top court directed.

Videos of Justice Srishanananda have gone viral on social media.

In one video, he refers to a Muslim-dominated locality in Bengaluru as "Pakistan" and on another video he was seen making objectionable comments against a woman lawyer. In the second incident, Justice Srishanananda can be heard telling the woman lawyer that she seemed to know a lot about the "opposition party", so much so that she might be able to reveal the colour of their undergarments.

The Israeli regime is recruiting African asylum seekers to kill Palestinians in the Israeli genocidal war on the Gaza Strip in exchange for permanent residency status, according to a report.

The report, ran by the Israeli paper Haaretz on Sunday, revealed that the project is conducted in an organized manner, with the guidance of military establishment legal advisers.  

In Gaza, the death toll passes 41,200 with close to 100,000 more injured in almost a year since the Israeli regime forces launched their genocidal war. However, the continued violence is prompting some Jewish Israelis to leave the occupied Palestinian land.

To make up for the loss, Tel Aviv is offering the incentive of permanent residency status to asylum seekers who agree to join the Israeli regime forces ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Haaretz has learned that some people have expressed objections to the practice, arguing that it exploits people who have fled their countries due to war. However, according to those sources, these voices have been silenced.

“This is a very problematic matter,” one source was quoted as saying by Haaretz.

According to the report, there are currently some 30,000 African asylum seekers living in the occupied territories, most of them young men. Around 3,500 are Sudanese citizens with temporary status granted by the court because the regime has not processed and ruled on their applications.

Unnamed sources who spoke with Haaretz also revealed that while there were some inquiries about granting status to asylum seekers who assisted in the genocidal war in Gaza, none were actually given status.

Haaretz also learned that the Interior Ministry explored the possibility of drafting the children of asylum seekers, who were educated in schools in the occupied territories, into the Israeli military.

In the past, the regime allowed the children of foreign workers to serve in the military in exchange for granting status to their immediate family members.

African refugees, who came to the occupied territories seeking asylum, were previously kept in internment camps and deported without their own consent.
