ಭಾರತದ ಪ್ರಗತಿಗೆ ದೇಶಪ್ರೇಮ ಮತ್ತು ಸಾಮುದಾಯಿಕ ಸೌಹಾರ್ದ್ಯ ಅನಿವಾರ್ಯ: ಜಿ.ಎಸ್. ಗೋಪಾಲ್ ರಾಜ್

Posted on March 31, 2025March 31, 2025 by City Today News (City today.media)

ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು, ಮಾರ್ಚ್ 31: ರಾಷ್ಟ್ರೀಯ ಏಕತೆ ಮತ್ತು ಸೌಹಾರ್ದ್ಯದ ಅಗತ್ಯವನ್ನು ಮುಂದಿಟ್ಟುಕೊಂಡು, ಸಿಟಿ ಟುಡೇ ನ್ಯೂಸ್ ಸಂಪಾದಕ ಜಿ.ಎಸ್. ಗೋಪಾಲ್ ರಾಜ್ ಅವರು, ಭಾರತದ ಪ್ರಗತಿಗಾಗಿ ದೇಶಪ್ರೇಮ ಮತ್ತು ಸಾಮುದಾಯಿಕ ಸೌಹಾರ್ದ್ಯ ಅತ್ಯಂತ ಅವಶ್ಯಕವೆಂದು ತಿಳಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ.

ಇತ್ತೀಚಿನ ಒಂದು ಕಾರ್ಯಕ್ರಮದಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾತನಾಡಿದ ಅವರು, ಎಲ್ಲ ಸಮುದಾಯಗಳ ಪರಸ್ಪರ ಗೌರವ ಮತ್ತು ಸಹೋದರತ್ವವನ್ನು ಉತ್ತೇಜಿಸುವುದು ದೇಶದ ಸ್ಥಿರತೆ ಮತ್ತು ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿಗಾಗಿ ಮುಖ್ಯವೆಂದು ಮನನ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಂಡರು.

“ಭಾರತವು ವಿವಿಧ ಸಂಸ್ಕೃತಿ, ಪರಂಪರೆ ಮತ್ತು ಧರ್ಮಗಳ ಒಕ್ಕೂಟವಾಗಿದೆ. ಈ ಭಿನ್ನತೆಯ ನಡುವೆಯೂ ಎಲ್ಲರನ್ನು ಒಗ್ಗೂಡಿಸುವ ಶಕ್ತಿ ದೇಶಪ್ರೇಮವಾಗಿರಬೇಕು. ಬದಲಾಗಿ, ವಿಭಜನೆಯ ಕಾರ್ಯಕ್ಷಮತೆ ಬೇಡ,” ಎಂದು ಅವರು ತಿಳಿಸಿದರು.

ಹೊಸ ತಲೆಮಾರಿನ ಯುವಕರು ಸಂವಿಧಾನಬದ್ಧ ಮೌಲ್ಯಗಳನ್ನು ಅಳವಡಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳಬೇಕೆಂದು ಅವರು ಕರೆ ನೀಡಿದರು. “ಸೌಹಾರ್ದ್ಯದಿಂದಲೇ ನಾವು ಬಲಿಷ್ಠ ಭಾರತವನ್ನು ನಿರ್ಮಿಸಬಹುದು,” ಎಂದರು.

ಸಾಮಾಜಿಕ ಅಶಾಂತಿ ಹೆಚ್ಚುತ್ತಿರುವ ಈ ಕಾಲಘಟ್ಟದಲ್ಲಿ, ಅವರ ಸಂದೇಶವು ರಾಷ್ಟ್ರದ ಏಕತೆ ಮತ್ತು ಅಖಂಡತೆಯನ್ನು ಕಾಪಾಡುವ ಜವಾಬ್ದಾರಿಯನ್ನು ಪ್ರತಿಯೊಬ್ಬ ನಾಗರಿಕನ ಮೇಲೂ ಅವಲಂಬಿತವಾಗಿರುತ್ತದೆ.

Posted on March 31, 2025March 31, 2025 by City Today News (City today.media)

By Gs Gopal Raaj, Editor – City Today News

BENGALURU, March 30, 2025 – As Karnataka braces for an intense summer, ophthalmologists report a sharp surge in eye-related problems due to extreme heat, dry winds, and prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays. Doctors across the state are witnessing a significant increase in cases of eye irritation, infections, and vision problems, urging residents to take extra precautions.

Rising Cases of Eye Disorders

With temperatures soaring above 38°C in many districts, cases of dry eye syndrome, conjunctivitis, and photokeratitis (UV ray damage to the cornea) have seen a nearly 40% increase compared to previous months. Dr. Ramesh Kumar, a senior ophthalmologist in Bengaluru, states, “The combination of extreme heat and high UV radiation is causing excessive dryness and inflammation in the eyes, especially among people who spend long hours outdoors.”

Most Common Eye Issues This Summer

1. Dry Eye Syndrome – Dehydration and increased screen time during summer vacations are leading to excessive dryness and irritation.

2. Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye) – The combination of heat, dust, and poor hygiene is causing a spike in eye infections.

3. Allergic Reactions – Pollen and pollution are triggering eye allergies, resulting in redness, itching, and swelling.

4. Photokeratitis (Sunburn of the Eyes) – Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can damage the cornea, causing temporary vision problems.

5. Eye Fatigue and Strain – The increased use of air conditioning dries out the eyes, leading to discomfort and blurred vision.

Who Is Most at Risk?

Outdoor workers, including construction laborers and delivery personnel

Children and elderly individuals with sensitive eyes

People who wear contact lenses

Individuals with pre-existing eye conditions

Expert Recommendations for Eye Protection

Ophthalmologists suggest the following measures to prevent summer-related eye ailments:
* Wear UV-protected sunglasses to reduce direct sun exposure.
* Stay hydrated to maintain natural eye moisture.
* Avoid rubbing your eyes to prevent infections.
* Use lubricating eye drops if experiencing dryness.
* Limit screen time and take frequent breaks to reduce strain.
* Wear protective glasses while swimming to prevent chlorine irritation.

Government and Health Initiatives

In response to the rising eye health concerns, Karnataka’s Health Department is conducting awareness campaigns in schools and public spaces to educate citizens about the importance of summer eye care. Free eye check-up camps are also being planned in various districts.

Conclusion

With the summer heat at its peak, protecting eye health is more crucial than ever. Experts emphasize that simple precautions can prevent serious eye complications, ensuring clear and comfortable vision throughout the season.
