Daycare centres reopen in Mysuru | Mysuru News

MYSURU: Several daycare centres that closed when the pandemic-induced lockdown was imposed in March last year, have reopened in Mysuru city, albeit with limited service.
The government, though, has not permitted these centres to reopen, but the fact that many have has come as a relief to young working couples, who have no one to attend to their children. The state women and child welfare department has also reopened anganwadis as per a court order with just five pupils per session.
Harini Narayan, a private bank employee from the Srirampura II Stage and a mother of a 4-year-old boy, said all these days, taking care of her child was a challenge as schools were shut and maids were not available for the whole day. “But now, a woman who was running a daycare centre has resumed service. I need to adjust timings only for lunch.”

Since 2016, the ACB has registered cases against 186 government staff on charges of amassing wealth disproportionate to known sources of income and bribery cases against 957 government employees. Of these cases, the accused in four cases have been convicted, as per information sourced by the Karnataka Rashtra Samithi which is fighting corruption in government offices.

Civic staff kills self over manual scavenging row in Karnataka | Mysuru News

Narayana
MANDYA: A sweeper with the Maddur town municipality hanged himself on Tuesday, three months after he was allegedly forced to get into a manhole and clean it with his hands. In a note he left behind, Narayana, 37, blamed top officials for harassing him to declare that he had voluntarily gone without safety gear.
Sources said on November 2, Narayana was forced to clean a manhole and he was being hounded since as the incident made headlines.
Mandya sweeper’s pay was withheld, say colleagues
Sources said municipal officials forced Narayana to clean a manhole without gloves, mask or any cleaning equipment. The incident made media headlines and an inquiry was ordered against the officials and CMC president Sureshkumar. As word of the manual scavenging got around, the officials came under flak and reportedly harassed Narayana to own up the lapse, and say that he voluntarily got into the manhole without any protection.

As per the plan, the temple management will notify the Saptapadi event dates well in advance. Even if a single pair enrolls for the particular day, the event will be held.
The state government launched the scheme in 2020 to popularise mass marriages. In the year 2020, the endowment department wanted to launch this scheme simultaneously in many temples on the day of Akshaya Tritiya.

Mysuru-Bengaluru train commute proves expensive sans monthly passes | Mysuru News

Passengers say they have to stand in a queue to purchase tickets. Booking them online is even more expensive
MYSURU: When train services resumed after pandemic-induced restrictions were lifted in October last year, commuters on the Mysuru-Bengaluru line heaved a sigh of relief. But with railways yet to resume monthly passes, passengers are dejected since travel is burning a hole in their budgets.
Sources say about 2,000 monthly passes were being issued to passengers on the Mysuru-Bengaluru line before the nationwide lockdown was imposed.
An employee who travels daily between Kengeri and Mandya said the cost of commuting has skyrocketed. Previously a monthly pass would cost him Rs 600, but now he has to shell out five times that sum.
