Lack of vigil reason behind high TPR, says Minister
Urgent measures will be taken to increase the COVID treatment facilities in Thrissur district, Minister A.C. Moideen has said. He was speaking at a meeting of higher officials and elected representatives on Wednesday. Currently, there are 247 ICU beds, 139 beds with ventilator facility and 1,423 beds with oxygen facilities available in the district at government and private hospitals. The plan is to add 120 more ICU beds, 21 ventilator beds and 1,400 oxygen beds, the Minister said.“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.
