At a juncture when there is a dire need for health care manpower, ophthalmologists and paramedics from Sankara Nethralaya joined hands with the Government Stanley Medical College Hospital (SMCH) to combat COVID-19. A 10-member team led by senior consultants — Suganeswari Ganesan, Baskaran Mani and Gajendra Kumar Verma, P. Sivaranjani and Radhika Sriram — and members of the nursing team, comprising Leela Bai, Kanagaraj and Vinoth Kumar, and social workers, including M. Saravanan and Arun Kumar, decided to work as frontline COVID-19 warriors for two weeks from May 13. The 10-member team from Sankara Nethralaya followed the working protocols of SMCH and shouldered activities in areas like at-zero delay rooms, triage wards and IMCU. The idea was basically to provide breathing space to the overworked healthcare workers.“We are judges and therefore, cannot act like Mughals of a bygone era ... the writ courts in the guise of doing justice cannot transcend the barriers of law,” the High Court of Karnataka observed while setting aside an order of a single judge, who in 2016 had extended the lease of a public premises allotted to a physically challenged person to 20 years contrary to 12-year period stipulated in the law.
The High Court of Karnataka on Monday declined to interfere, at present, in the investigation against a Bharatiya Janata Party worker, who is among the accused persons facing charges of circulating obscene clips, related to “morphed” images and videos clips related to Prajwal Revanna, former Hassan MP, in public domain through pen drives and other modes.
The 16th edition of Bhoomi Habba was held on June 8, at the Visthar campus.
