SP, other police officers contract infection; 100 more pilgrims test positive
: Even as RT-PCR testing for pilgrims has been stepped up in Mandya amidst the rising infection rate, senior police officers, including the Superintendent of Police, Yatish, have tested positive to COVID-19 on Saturday.
Confirming this to The Hindu, District Health Officer Dhananjay said the SP and a few other officers have contracted the infection and all of them are in home isolation. “They might have contracted the infection as the officers were active in COVID-19 control measures in the district following the recent cluster outbreaks,” he added.

The High Court of Karnataka on Tuesday ordered the issue of a notice to the State government on a PIL petition, which had complained about disturbances caused to people residing in the localities around the National Public School situated in Rajajinagar 5th block due to use of loudspeakers with high volume in the school and parking of school buses in residential areas.
