BSY tells Kannadigas in UAE not to worry
Bengaluru, May 12: The state government will facilitate the return of Kannadigas from the United Arab Emirates, Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa has assured.
He addressed the non-resident Kannadigas who are facing difficult times due to the Corona lockdown through a video conference on Tuesday.
Yediyurappa has also requested the Kannadigas who return home to follow the mandatory quarantine for the 14-day period. “Facilities have been made in the hotels near the Bengaluru international airport for people who return from the UAE to remain under quarantine,” he added.
The state government has requested the Centre to provide flights to help unemployed people whose visa has expired, patients and people facing other problems return home, said the chief minister.
'Be bold'
The Kannadigas have also been asked to be optimistic and remember to take precautions in matters of health.
“The government is striving to prevent the spread of Corona virus and we hope to get a solution to overcome the problem soon,” said Yediyurappa.
The Kannadigas in the UAE, in turn, have asked the chief minister to provide immediate flight facilities to people returning from Dubai. “Extra flights are needed to return to Mangaluru. The unemployed people here should be provided financial help. Workers should be given free quarantine facilities,” they requested.
Union Minister D V Sadananda Gowda has said that Raj Bhandary, president of the Bharatiya Pravasi Parishat in Kuwait has put forth a request for flights to help Kannadigas there return to their native places. Assuring that the provisions are being made, the minister too asked the non-resident Kannadigas not to panic. “It is the government's responsibility to help you return home safely,” he stressed.

Four of family found dead in Maharashtra’s Nanded district in suspected mass suicide
Nanded (PTI): A farmer, his wife and their two sons were found dead in two different locations in Maharashtra’s Nanded district on Thursday morning, in what police suspect to be a mass suicide, an official said.
Around 8 am, the bodies of Ramesh Sonaji Lakhe (51) and his wife Radhabai Lakhe (45) were discovered on a cot in their home at Jawala Murar village in Mudkhed tehsil, he said.

The bodies of their sons, Umesh (25) and Bajrang (23), were subsequently found on nearby railway lines. It appears they jumped in front of a speeding train, the official said.
Police inspector Dattatray Manthale told reporters, “The parents were found dead inside their home, while the sons took their lives on the railway tracks. We have asked a Forensic Science Laboratory team to collect evidence. The truth will come out only after a thorough technical investigation and autopsy.”
While the nature of their death appears to be part of a suicide pact, police said the exact circumstances remain unclear.
The family belonged to the small-scale farming community, but it is not yet confirmed if financial distress or a domestic crisis triggered the extreme step, the official said.
Neighbours described the Lakhes as a hardworking family who struggled against the odds of small-land farming to sustain themselves.
The Nanded rural police are recording statements of relatives and checking for notes or final messages left by the family.
