Mangaluru: MLA's delegation seeks extension of essentials procurement time


Daijiworld Media Network - Mangaluru (SP)

Mangaluru, May 13: A delegation led by MLA Vedavyasa Kamath, met Dakshina Kannada district in-charge minister Kota Srinivas Poojary on Wednesday May 12 and urged him to extend the time given for the procurement of essentials during the morning hours in the city as part of the lockdown imposed for coronavirus control.

The delegation sought to extend the time given for purchase of essentials by one hour. Currently, the people have been allowed to buy things they need between 6 am and 9 am, but many shops in the city open only after 7 am, which curtails time available for the people to buy things, the petition presented to the minister pointed out. Therefore, the delegation requested the minister to modify the lockdown rules suitably specifically for the city.


MLA Vedavyasa Kamath

In the memorandum presented to the minister, the delegation sought permission to move about for the bank employees, those visiting banks or post offices for different needs, beedi workers, beedi entrepreneurs, hotel workers, building workers and such other classes of workers subject to verification by the police. Another demand placed before the minister is to allow senior citizens to use vehicles to bring things they need as they find it difficult to walk to the shops and bring heavy things home. It also explained that distribution of ration items in fair price shops takes more time.

The minister, who received the memorandum, promised to scrutinize the demands and take steps accordingly, said the MLA.

The delegation had Karnataka State Fisheries Development Corporation chairman Nitin Kumar, BJP district president Sudarshan M, BJP city south Mandal president Vijay Kumar Shetty, and leaders like Sanjay Prabu and Vasant K Poojary as members.

    I have a doubt...is he seeking this extension for the benefit of the people or for the grocery shops....!!!!???? If the Grocery shops want open at 7 am let them do so but let the curfew be the same. If a family man wants to get his needs he will get up at 5 am also. MLA need not worry about this.

    These BJP politicians have no clue about the spread of coronavirus. All they are interested is to make stupid statements and posing for photos. Do they know what lockdown means?. Until now their god in Delhi did not want lockdown and didn’t want to ban super spreader events for vote catching and see where it has landed us now?. Last year all these guys under the leadership of Shoba were shouting about thugluki’s spreading coronavirus but now Shoba is missing in action. Look at the nation’s who had proper lockdown and controlled the spread of coronavirus. They fed their citizens who didn’t have money, people received funding from the government and public also contributed other than black marketing and jumlas like selling ventilators and oxygen in black market.

    The M.L.A. is only talking about employees of banks and other establishments.What about the people who have work in banks and other offices.It is better to change the timings to 9-12a.m .so that people can do all their other work.Not all people can do work online.It will be also be conveinient for suppliers to do goods delivery to shops

    We need to ponder and act 1. Is it not our right for having our basic necessities met as taxpayers (A)vaccine should have been given like polio drops campaign in PHC free( health tax) (B)groceries should have been available in each ward through fair price shops/ HOPCOMS/or through Govt agencies or ward wise distribution/ sale like water supply should have been planned (C) Medical facility should have met population density ( unfortunate that fire safety is a protocol for hospitals but not availability of Oxygen) ( D) COVID is a disaster then what happened to district disaster management committee ( why separate task force) (E) livelihood is important along with life . Denying livelihood is denial of human rights (F) The closure of business to avoid crowds is only delaying spread but not getting protected/providing protection is bigger blunder. (G)For effective solving of a problem it needs to be broken down into solve able small problems- viz a viz contain spread locally and the spread can be contained in a bigger area.lockdown like rules sent people to native areas to increase infection (H)relaxation of business restrictions does not matter but spreading out business time is important ( odd even system/ door no based system /online token system) All this can be implemented only if it is managed professionally by educated crisis managers and experienced managers

    No proper plans. Changing rules every now and then. Many people comment here saying impose strict rule. But why now? Why not before? After all jatras, festivals, aata, elections are done now all woke up and worried about covid. Many are talking about strict rule. What kind of strict rule? Seizing vehicles or issuing fine or laati charge? We people from Meramajal just to get essential things have to travel till farangipet which is almost 3 kms far. Going by walk there is really a foolish idea coz while coming back we can't carry heavy bags till 3kms. And if we take our vehicles these farangipet police put fine for us even though its 8am. What we should do? Is there anybody to think about people like us? People comment coz they have so many options next to their doors steps. Blindly just don't comment like strict rule. He'll with your strict rules. Again same noutanki will start next year March April.

    Mr kamath instead of extending the time kindly put a note on how many people are getting vaccination...app which we have registered and waiting for appointments shows full from the right first day ..if we personally come out cops behaviour is rude ...organise the vaccination situation properly first .

    Very Good Representation by MLA Sri Vedavyas Kamath. 1) Sudden complete Curfews /Lockdown Without relaxation leads to panic buying and over-crowding Before and After the Curfew. 2).Banks and Insurance Companies open at 10 AM, so atleast undertaking any transaction at Banks take time upto 10.30 AM.Everyone does not have online Accounts. 3) Allowing Vehicles is necessary since everyone can't walk long distances with bulky groceries or vist Banks which are far off. 4)Everyday 4 hours relaxation should be there. See the result - no rush in the markets since Wednesday as people could go out and buy vegetables/groceries. 5) Also electrical repairs /Computer repairs /Battery repairs of UPS should have been allowed since many are working from Home. Good that MLA has taken peoples' woes into consideration.

    Yes, withdraw the lockdown measure which is never based on any scientific basis or research. People mostly are educated by media & politicians narrative. Nobody can stop airborne viruses despite wearing masks or use of sanitizers too. The best thing is herd immunity which is through natural infection process that was & is a practical thing since ages. Whatever vaccine industries claim human beings including animals & birds exist without any outside chemical interference since they originated on this planet earth. Finally this epidemic is man made monster out of a small rodent. No government has the right to deny any citizen their right to earn their livelihood for any reason as it is his basic right in a democratic country. If the government can't compensate his loss then that govt. has to resign or stop draconian measures that kill more people than assumed pandemic.

    Timings for procurement of essentials should be made from 7 am to 11 am. Lockdown and lathi charge is not the remedy for controlling the virus. Following strict protocols like wearing masks, social distance and more importantly increasing Covid jabs is the only remedy!

    Show me one politician with brain, to be in limelight they will hold press conference and give useless statements, the is their job, like before elections if we come power we will vaccinate all the people free of cost, give money and food to the people after wining the elections, the center should give free vaccinations to the people from our state, money and free food. So don't put your faith in party or politicians, you work hard and earn for your family, you will get nothing from any government, just pay your taxes, so that the MPs, MLA get paid for not working.

    If the shop owner wants business he should open early & follow the protocol rules . Mr. Kamath don't play political games to get attention. You need to stop roaming around & give an example to other people Don't extend time. Already people don't understand the present situation of Covid & they are taking this time still easy which is Insane . Cases are going up people are dying but still we public cant sit at home .

    Nobody interested in controlling Corona virus. Extension means Corona virus also extends and spread. Better door to door supply only solution. Our administration will implement only after spreading, till that time they pass the time by conducting meetings.
