BELAGAVI: Following a dreadful mix up, officials in Kagwad, Belagavi, had to exhume the body of a 71-year-old after a private hospital discovered that they had handed over the dead man to the wrong family.
Adhering to strict Covid-19 protocol, the family had buried the deceased without even taking a look at his face.
It began on May 1 when Payappa Satyappa Hallolli, 82, was admitted to Venus Hospital in Belagavi city after he tested positive for Covid-19. The next day, hospital authorities phoned Hallolli’s family saying he had died. The body was dispatched by a hearse later in the afternoon to Mole village where the family resides, and the last rites were conducted almost immediately.

Brain tumour survivor in Hubballi turns philanthropist amid fresh spike | Hubballi News

HUBBALLI: A cloth merchant who stared death in the face on the operation table, when he underwent a surgery for brain tumour, is now helping those without means to ward off the threat of Covid-19.
After the state government enforced a lockdown a few days ago, 47-year-old Bharat Nahar, a Hubballi-based cloth merchant residing in Keshwapur, has been busy distributing masks to people who cannot afford to buy them. Against the backdrop of the alarming spike in Covid-19 cases across Karnataka, it is hard to overstate the role that masks play in checking the spread of the infection.
In addition to distributing masks, Nahar has been giving out food and water bottles, whole carrying with a first-aid kit to treat stray dogs and cattle, the welfare of which has taken a backseat in these chaotic times.

Video grab of locals intercepting an ambulance driver with the vials
RAICHUR: As the demand for Remdesivir spikes, the black market is cashing in on the opportunity. Vials of the drug were allegedly smuggled out of a government facility for patients in local private hospitals who are relatives of influential men in Raichur district.
TOI has a video in which an ambulance driver, identified as Bandappa, illegally carries out vials from Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Companies (OPEC) Rajiv Gandhi Memorial Hospital on the Raichur-Hyderabad road. This Covid facility is situated adjacent to the Raichur Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS).

After 35 years, Bagalkot prepares to hold jathre for presiding deity | Hubballi News

Halepet resident Tippanna Badiger, a septuagenarian, said that Dyamavva Devi was regarded as a deity for the whole of Bagalkot city.
BAGALKOT: In the mid 1980s, the dreadful prospect of the city's submergence in the backwaters of the Almatti Dam compelled the residents of Bagalkot to halt the jathre to Dyamavva Devi, the city's presiding deity. Now, over 35 years later, with the second wave of the pandemic striking the state, the residents of the Killa neighbourhood in Bagalkot city are contemplating reviving the forgotten tradition.
General secretary of Sri Gramadevi Seva Samiti Shrikant Pattar said that the Killa neighbourhood was now left with just 827 households. "It was not among the localities identified for relocation. When it floods, the area turns into an island, with only one road connecting it with the rest of the city. Life has been hard recently. We lost 200 people to Covid-19. This apart, we have also had to deal with reptiles such as snakes, scorpions etc after the district was flooded. People have been under considerable duress here," Pattar told TOI.

Decision to drop athletic track opposed | Hubballi News

HUBBALLI: Hubballi-Dharwad Municipal Corporation’s decision to drop the idea of laying synthetic athletic track in Nehru Stadium has not gone down well with the city’s sport enthusiasts.
Sports enthusiasts are alleging that HDMC has dropped the project yielding to pressure from politicians. While the government is encouraging students to take part in sports activities by introducing Khelo India programme in all schools, the HDMC is trying to discourage sports enthusiasts from taking part in sports, they alleged.
Speaking to STOI, 15-year-old Arjun, whois preparing for Khelo India School games said, “I am deeply hurt with the decision of authorities. We do not have suitable infrastructure to prepare for athletic events here”.

Shettar told TOI that the government has already given nod to 16 pharmaceutical and drugs industries that are investing Rs 962.5 crore and will create 3,000 jobs. “Now land has been allotted to seven more industries. Responding to our pro-industry measures, 7-8 investors are coming forward every month to set up their units in the state. The proposed pharma park has also evoked interest among pharmaceutical companies of Hyderabad, Mumbai and other cities. We visited Kadechur in January and reviewed the developments there. Many industries have already started construction,” he shared.
