"People are already panicked" DK Shivakumar slams government over Corona Virus caller tunes
Bengaluru: Senior Karnataka Congress leader and former minister DK Shivakumar on Tuesday took a jibe at Union Health and Family Welfare Department for setting Corona Virus prevention measures as the caller tunes on mobile numbers.
Shivakumar took to twitter to slam the ministry over the move adding that it was like punishing cow when the buffalo gets fever. Shivakumar also added that the people of the country were already disturbed over the spread of the deadly virus and moves like this added to the panic among the people of the country.
“The people of the country are already disturbed by the outbreak of coronavirus. Prices of fruits, vegetables have increased while stock markets have collapsed," he tweeted.
"The nation’s economic condition has worsened. It is inappropriate to create panic among people, instead of specifically dealing with the problem,” Shivakumar added in the tweet.

Swamiji fires gun into the air in Kalaburagi village, video goes viral
Kalaburagi: An incident involving a swamiji firing a gun into the air has been reported from Udachan village in Afzalpur taluk of Kalaburagi district. The act, captured on video, has since gone viral on social media.
The swamiji has been identified as Sri Shantalinga Shivacharya, pontiff of the Hiremath of Sri Shankaralingeshwara Samsthana. According to reports, the incident took place on Sunday evening within the premises of the math, where the swamiji allegedly fired a single-barrel gun into the air.
This is not the first time the swami has courted controversy. Last year, he was reportedly found driving erratically under the influence of alcohol in Salotagi village of neighbouring Indi taluk, following which members of the public confronted him. He later fled from the math, sources said.

More recently, during the annual fair of the Sri Shankaralingeshwara Math in Udachan village, the swami had arrived at the village with police protection, claiming to be the rightful pontiff of the math. Despite opposition from villagers, he reportedly went ahead and conducted rituals related to the fair.
The latest incident of firing the gun into the air has triggered criticism, especially after the video surfaced online. Further action, if any, is awaited from the authorities.
