If Anant Kumar was alive the state wouldn't be in this situation: Basanagouda Yatnal on flood relief
Bengaluru: Basanagouda Yatnal on Thursday continued lashing centre and his party men for leaving Karnataka out in cold after being severely hit by floods as the state is yet to get any aid from the centre, months after being hit by floods.
Yatnal on Thursday slammed his party men while speaking to reporters in city. Yatnal said “Three MPs of the state are ministers in union cabinet, yet nobody has the guts to walk up to the PM and seek financial aid for the state in the wake of floods. If Anant Kumar was alive today the state wouldn’t be in such a situation”.
“Even I have served as MP for 10 years. I put pressure on the centre when there was Vajapayee govt and get my work has done. Jagdish Shettar and Prahlad Joshi are from north Karnataka, the region most severely hit by floods. But they are not acting even when they are ministers. If they can take a stand we can all support them in getting flood relief” Yatnal said.

Elephant calf brought from Bijnor kept under care at Pilibhit Tiger Reserve
Pilibhit (PTI): A 19-day-old elephant calf, brought from Bijnor, was placed under care at the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve (PTR) on Sunday, an official said and added that the calf got separated from its mother in the forest area of Bijnor.
The calf was born on December 2 in the Bijnor forest area and got separated from its mother shortly after birth, the official said.
The forest department made several attempts to reunite it with its mother, but without any success. To ensure the calf's safety and better care, it was decided to transfer it to the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve on the instructions of senior officials.
On Saturday, Deputy Director Manish Singh received the calf. Special arrangements have been made in the reserve for its care. It has been kept in a safe and clean environment to provide it with a natural setting and protect it from external noise and disturbances.
Singh told reporters that raising an 19-day-old calf is challenging.
It requires a special diet as a substitute for mother's milk and constant monitoring.
He said a special team has been formed to provide 24-hour care. Since the calf is very young, it is being cared for like a newborn baby.
According to Singh, the primary responsibility for monitoring the calf's health has been entrusted to PTR's veterinarian, Dr Daksh Gangwar. Under his supervision, a complete record of the calf's health checkups, diet, and body temperature is being maintained. The team is ensuring that the calf does not contract any infection.
