Home Minister Araga Jnanendra, on Monday, interacted with areca growers and assured them all support from the government to control the spread of leaf spot (Ele Chukke) disease, fungal infection, affecting areca farms in parts of Tirthahalli and Hosanagar taluks.
The Minister had taken a team of scientists to Nalur in Thirthahalli taluk.
The disease was noticed in many parts in two taluks as the growers have not been able to spray medicine due to continuous rains in the last five months.
Around 440 MBBS graduates of 2021 are not required to undergo one year of compulsory rural service as per the bond signed by them while joining the medical course through government-quota seats in 2015 as the High Court of Karnataka has said the law, enacted in 2012 for mandatory rural service, remained unenforced for 10 years as it was published in the official gazette only in July 2022.
