By-poll results will prove my influence: BSY in Kollur

September 26, 2011

Udupi, September 26: “Koppala by-election results will prove my influence in the party, as former MLA and BJP candidate Sanganna Karadi is all set to win the elections by a margin of over 15,000 votes”, said Ex Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa.

Yediyurappa was at Kollur on Monday evening to participate in a Chandika Homa scheduled for Tuesday morning.

After having 'darshan' of goddess Mookambika, Yediyurappa spoke to media persons. He said that they had neither lost any elections under his leadership nor will lose the present one.

Replying a question, Yeddyurappa said that there were no objections to his rath yathra from within the party, but a section of party leaders have been discussing it.

“Rath Yathra will focus more on the achievements of my government. It will be purely a party programme. If there are any mis understandings among the leaders I will speak to the party top brass to sort it out”, he said.

Shimoga MP and Yediyurappa's son BY Raghavendra accompanied him.

Heightened surveillance for monkey fever in Dakshina Kannada amidst Nipah concerns

News Network

September 19,2024

Mangaluru, Sep 19: Following the recent Nipah virus-related fatalities in Kerala, health authorities in Dakshina Kannada are taking proactive measures to monitor for potential cases of monkey fever. While typically found in African countries, monkey fever has raised concerns within the district, prompting increased vigilance.

To ensure early detection, travelers arriving at Mangaluru’s international airport and local ports will undergo health screenings. Additionally, a dedicated ambulance has been placed on standby for any emergent cases, and Wenlock Hospital has set aside a special ward with six reserved beds specifically for monkey fever patients.

"We currently have no confirmed cases of monkey fever in Dakshina Kannada, and there are no direct orders from the state government," said Dr. Timmaiah, the District Health Officer. "However, we are taking preventive measures, including continuous screening of incoming passengers. A special meeting is also being planned to discuss future action steps."

Dr. Timmaiah further highlighted the rise in general viral infections following the region's recent shift in weather patterns. "With the decline in rainfall, we are seeing an uptick in viral cases, particularly fevers accompanied by cough, cold, and throat pain, especially in children. Though Mangaluru has experienced mostly sunny weather, occasional rain at night has contributed to the spread of illnesses. It’s crucial for the public to remain vigilant and take preventive measures."

Health officials are urging residents to seek timely medical advice and follow recommended precautions to mitigate the spread of infectious diseases.
