Haveri, July 05: The corpse of a man suspected to have been infected with Coronavirus was found at a bus stand in Ranebennur in Haveri district.
The staff of the Ranebennur taluk government hospital are suspected to have left the body at the bus stand near the hospital.
Chandrashekhar, 40, a resident of the town who had been suffering from cold and cough for three days, had come to the hospital for treatment. His throat swab sample was sent for a Corona test. Chandrashekhar, however, failed to respond to the treatment and died at the hospital before the test report was received. His body is suspected to have been wrapped in a plastic cover and dropped at the bus stand near the hospital by the staff members.
The doctors said that the body had already been handed over to Chandrashekhar's family after the post mortem. The officers of the Health Department, however, have apparently failed to explain why the body was given to the family before the Corona test report was received.
Haveri district health officer Dr Rajendra Doddamani has said that a show cause notice has been issued to the taluk medical officer.
Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai has said that the deputy commissioner has been instructed to investigate the matter, take strict action against the defaulters and submit a report to the government.
The officers have been issued an order to compulsorily follow the government SOP with regard to conducting the last rites in case of a death, said Bommai.

AIITA welcomes Karnataka’s ban on obscene songs in school events
Bhatkal: The Karnataka unit of the All India Ideal Teachers Association (AIITA) has welcomed the Karnataka government’s decision to strictly ban school children from dancing to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes in government, aided, and private schools across the state.
AIITA Karnataka State President M. R. Manvi congratulated the government for taking what he termed an important step to preserve the sanctity of education.
“Such decisions to safeguard the dignity of school children and uphold the values of education are the need of the hour. This rule should not be limited to government schools alone but must be strictly implemented in all private educational institutions as well,” he said.
He further urged the government to address other concerns within school programmes.
“The government should not only prohibit obscene dances in the name of school anniversaries, but also ensure that plays and dialogues that incite religious hatred are avoided. Schools should be centres of harmony, not platforms for spreading hatred,” he added.
According to a recent circular issued by the Department of School Education and Literacy, obscene dances are adversely affecting the mental health and moral values of students.
In this regard, schools have been advised to use songs that promote nationalism, positive thinking, the greatness of Kannada culture, and value-based traditions instead of inappropriate content during programmes.
The circular also emphasises that students should be dressed in decent attire.
AIITA also backed the department’s warning that disciplinary action would be taken against head teachers if such guidelines are violated. The association has further demanded that district Deputy Directors of Public Instruction strictly monitor the implementation of these rules.
