Over 250 volunteers covered a stretch of 30 Kms between Kavadahalli to Malai Mahadeshwara Hills collecting over 5 tonnes of plastic and other waste

Bengaluru, July 24, 2021- Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages, one of the leading FMCG companies of India, today successfully organised a plastic waste collection drive in Kollegal district, Karnataka as part of its Plastic Waste Management initiative. The cleanliness drive undertaken in partnership with Forest Department and the Karnataka Pollution Control Board was conducted in a 30 Km forest area extending from Kavadahalli to Malai Mahadeshwara Hills. The day long drive saw active participation from over 250 volunteers from various corporate houses including HCCB as well as members of the government and local community.

Senior Govt. functionaries including Shri. Yedukondalu V – IFS, Deputy Conservator of Forest, Malai Mahadeshwara Wild Life Division, Kollegal, Dr. Niranjan – Senior Environment Officer, Pollution Control Board, Mysore Division and Shri Raghuram – Environment Officer, Pollution Control Board, Chamrajnagar Dist, were present at the location encouraging the volunteers. HCCB provided infrastructural support along with refreshments to the participants.

HCCB has been a pioneer when it comes to plastic waste management and collection and had earlier in the year launched a unique initiative ‘Plastic Lao Thaila Pao’ where they distributed jute bags in exchange of plastic waste. During this drive, the volunteers collected pet bottles and other plastic waste from the shoulder level of the road, which resulted in a total collection of 5 tonnes of plastic.

Speaking about the initiative, Kamlesh Kumar Sharma, Chief Communications Officer, HCCB said, “Responsible recycling of plastic waste can be made possible if people actively collaborate and work towards ensuring zero tolerance to littering and responsible disposal of the waste generated. Through our initiatives all we are trying is to communicate is that plastics have an inherent value and can be recycled and that everyone has a role to play. We are excited to see the response and enthusiasm of the volunteers and are hopeful that more people will come forward to help address the issue of plastic waste management in our country.”

Demand for selecting SC/ST leader as next CM

Posted on July 24, 2021 by City Today News (City today.media)

If the decision is made to change Shri B.S.Yadiyurappa we strongly urge the BJP National leadership to do social justice to SC/ST people and select a senior SC/ST leader as the next Chief Minister of Karnataka, for the reasons mentioned below

1) The population of Lingayath community in Karnataka is 17% and they have had 9 Chief Ministers including the current CM. About 16% Vokkaligas have had 6 CMs, backward classes have had 5 CMs, Brahmins have had 2 CMs. But SC/ST people who constitute about 24% population have had non as CM so for. Certainly, it is not a social justice.

2) It was just impossible for BJP to have won 104 MLA seats in the last assembly election with just Lingayath and Brahmin votes. BJP emerged as the single largest party because of the strong support it gained mainly from SC/STs.

3) It should be noted that the congress party which enjoyed power for about 50 yrs with the solid support of SC/ST for 5 decades betrayed them by not making even once an SC/ST leader as CM though there were several able SC/ST leaders. Enraged by this betrayal, the SC/ST people have started supporting BJP since the last 3 elections.

4) At present Deputy Chief Minister Shri Govind M Karajola, Social Welfare Minister Shri B Shriramulu and forest minister Shri Aravinda Limbavali happened to be top leaders of SC/ST community in BJP. And all the three leaders are quite popular and command good influence among SC/ST people. Because of their influence, migration of SC/ST Voters towards BJP is gaining strength and speed in our state.

5) Deputy Chief Minister Sri Govinda M Karajola, the senior most leader, is known all over Karnataka as a gentleman politician, sensible and dignified leader, a good administrator with vast experience. He carries all section of people with him and he is acceptable to all people.

6) Social welfare minister Shri. B. Shriramulu is a leader with strong mass appeal and he has natural talent to attract masses of people even from non SC/ST category. He is a good organiser. During 2014 assembly election he formed B.S.R Congress and got 5 MLAS elected only on his personal capacity. It is a clear evidence for his popularity. BJP had announced during 2018 assembly polls that he would Deputy Chief Minister which helped BJP in several constituencies.

7) Forest Minister Shri Aravinda Limbavali who graduated from ABVP is serving well and has good rapport with RSS. He has worked with Shi B.S.Yediyurappa, Shri Sadananda Gowda and late Anantha Kumar since 1990 for strengthening BJP in Karnataka. Mr. Limbavali is known for his good administration. He is also good in formulating election strategy. It should be noted that the BJP high command utilized his services in the recent assembly elections in West Bengal and sometime back in Telangana also.

Therefore, in light of above mentioned facts, if the BJP high command decides to change Shri B.S.Yediyurappa, we strongly urge the BJP national leadership to choose any one from among the three SC/ST leaders, we have mentioned, as the next Chief Minister of Karnataka and do social justice to SC/ST people.

Dr. Agarwal’s Eye Hospital Offers Free Online Consultations Through “Eye Connect”

Posted on July 23, 2021 by City Today News (City today.media)

Dr. Agarwal’s Eye Connect comes as a boon for patients seeking quality eye care from the comfort of their homes amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Specialists are available for general eye checkups, medical opinions, and follow-ups

Bengaluru, July 23, 2021: Dr. Agarwal’s Eye Hospital, one of India’s largest networks of eyecare centers, has launched Dr. Agarwal’s Eye Connect, a free online consultation platform, making its specialists available for advice on eye conditions, second opinion, and follow-ups for patients across the country. The free consultation will be available till August 15, 2021.

Dr. Agarwal’s Eye Connect comes as a boon for patients seeking quality eye care from the comfort of their homes amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Patients can call (9167378541) or visit https://www.dragarwal.com to book an online consultation with specialists. For online consultation, there is no need to download any app. A computer or mobile phone with a good internet connection and camera is sufficient.

Commenting about Dr. Agarwal’s Eye Connect, Dr. Amar Agarwal, Chairman, Dr. Agarwal’s Eye Hospital, said that the hospital has lined up its team of senior doctors for the online consultation.

Dr. Agarwal said that it is important for the patients and the public to take extra care of their vision health and seek medical intervention without delay, as COVID-19 and the lifestyle changes – especially the increase in screen time, during the lockdown could harm eye health. COVID-19 infection may lead to the onset of eye conditions such as conjunctivitis, uveitis, artery and vein occlusions, and optic neuritis.

Citing an internal study conducted in 2020, Dr. Agarwal said that the delay in seeking medical interventions during the first wave of the pandemic – due to lockdown restrictions or fear of infection risks, had severely deteriorated the eye conditions of many patients. Hence, without ignoring any eye issue, patients should seek medical intervention at the earliest.

Dr. Agarwal said that the cases of matured cataracts surged from 10% of the total cataract cases in the last quarter of 2019 to over 50% during the same period in 2020. The cases of digital eye strain and dry eyes have also seen a significant rise as a result of excessive exposure to light-emitting digital screens as people adapted to work-from-home and study-from-home scenarios.

Dr. Agarwal urged the public to seek medical care even for minor eye conditions. “No health problem is small enough to be ignored. Telemedicine and online consultations are great options to get the right advice and treatment in many cases. Sometimes a direct visit to the hospital cannot be avoided. In such cases, people should choose an eye hospital where all safety precautions are being implemented and make visits while strictly following the COVID-19 guidelines such as wearing masks, and social distancing,” he cautioned.

Dr. Agarwal’s Eye Connect can be used by people who seek preliminary eye checkups, second opinions, and follow-ups of eye treatments to keep themselves away from severe eye issues.

Timely administration of medicine is critical to reduce MMR from excessive bleeding after birth

Posted on July 23, 2021 by City Today News (City today.media)

Dr. Hema Divakar, Vice-Chair of FIGO Pregnancy & NCD committee, emphasizes easy storage and availability of ampoules in hospitals

BELAGAVI: Renowned healthcare leader Dr. Hema Divakar, the Vice-Chair of Pregnancy & NCD (Non-Communicable Diseases) Committee, International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO), today emphasized the need for easy availability, storage, and timely administration of medicine to prevent excessive bleeding (postpartum hemorrhage) among women after childbirth, which is one of the major reasons for higher maternal mortality rate (MMR) in underdeveloped nations.

Dr. Hema, who is also the CEO of Bengaluru-based ARTIST for Her (Asian Research and Training Institute for Skill Transfer), made the observations here today at the global launch of the RTS Carbetocin Ferring at the Women’s and Children’s Health Unit, Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College, KLE Academy of Higher Education and Research. To mark the occasion, 1,000 ampoules of Carbetocin (medicine to control postpartum hemorrhage) were handed over for free to the unit.

Such medicines currently available in the country require special storage conditions, including refrigeration. On the contrary, Carbetocin is heat stable and does not require refrigeration, ideal for use in developing and underdeveloped countries where power supply is not stable. This is for the first time that Carbetocin is being administered in India.

When Dr. Hema was the president of FOGSI (Federation of Obstetric and Gynaecological Societies of India), she championed institutionalizing the administration of medicine to prevent bleeding after birth; sensitizing the healthcare providers about the need for refrigerated storage of the medicine and administering it within one minute after delivery. From 2013, under her leadership and with the help of FOGSI champions, the implementation of the protocol for appropriate use of the medicine to prevent postpartum hemorrhage increased to more than 68% in many parts of India through the ‘Helping Mothers Survive’ campaign.

“Today, it is standard protocol for hospitals, both private and government, to administer medicine to women soon after they deliver the baby. This has significantly contributed to the reduction of MMR in India. It is all the more important in our country because over 50% of pregnant women are anemic, and if such women bleed excessively, the incidence of deaths due to postpartum hemorrhage becomes even higher if this medicine is not administered in time,” pointed out Dr.Hema.

Sharing similar views, Dr. S. Shantha Kumari, President, FOGSI, said the organization had intensified its efforts to educate hospitals and train the healthcare workers on various protocols through special campaigns. “It is our objective to minimize postpartum hemorrhage by maximizing the implementation and the practice of the protocol of administering medicine in time,” she added.

Dr. N. Rajkumar, Deputy Director of Maternal Health, Department of Health & Family Welfare Services, Government of Karnataka; Dr. Prabhakar B Kore, Chairman, KEL Society and Dr. Vivek A Saoji, Vice-Chancellor, KLE Academy of Higher Education and Research were among the dignitaries present on the occasion.

Truthful links between Corona, Injections, population, Religion, is Supremacy Psychosis.

Posted on July 23, 2021 by City Today News (City today.media)

Corona is a 191 billion dollar biological weapon unleashed on humanity to decrease population by a vested mafia of elite 1% of world population who want to own & control all the natural resources of the world. This is a supremacy psychosis which needs to be addressed urgently. With increasing population there are multiple groups demanding for equal share n rights for living n enjoying the resources. This goes against the greed of these elite who have created this PLANDEMIC over decades while giving subtle hints off late. Their aim is to decrease dependents ‘draining revenue of people capturing governments, old age especially pensioners, sick managing multiple diseases with medications, and dissidents who protest the supremist’s agenda. Initially released on protestors in Hongkong, India with significant mortality was rereleased with lot of FEAR drama in wuhan with stronger strain. Series of virus targeting different age groups are being released through satellites/aircraft-biotrails/balloons via rains. These are causing death, diseases affecting all organ systems- (strokes, heart attacks, kidney/liver failure, endocrine disorders) ageing, sterility/abortions, fear psychosis, reversal of constitutional human rights all compounded by injections being given as vaccines to create a new world order. Many whose immune system couldn’t fight the corona virus effectively have already died/disabled, nearly all the rest have been exposed with it without symptoms developed natural immunity and don’t need the injections with more significant risk of all complications of covid(infection/inflammation/both) post injections. The mRNA vaccine have risk of genetic modification to ensure chronic dependency on health care system. Only those who had strictly isolated themselves due to fear or immunosuppressive states-post Organ transplants, ongoing chemotherapy, long term immunosuppressive therapy, HIV and other infected might benefit only with nasal/oral vaccine which is not being released. Money laundry between government & NGO should be prevented to save public assets.
