Take steps for education of children of Kodagu victims: DVS
Bengaluru, August 22: Union Minister DV Sadananda Gowda urged the state government to list out the children sheltered in relief camps and supply textbooks to them as the children were being deprived from education.
In his tweet, the minister said that if their parents agreed, the government should make arrangements to admit them to residential schools and provide free education. Normally, the parents would not agree to send their children away as they would be depressed mentally during such critical time. In such circumstances, temporary school or special residential school should be opened locally to educate the children, he tweeted.
The government should immediately constitute a committee to ensure good education to the children staying in relief camps. If the government gave him the details, he would get the available assistance from the departments concerned. No child should be deprived of the education and the government should make sure that the children who would admit to residential schools should get money as and when they require to get necessary things, he tweeted.

Punishment for those disrupting assembly proceedings, warns Speaker UT Khader
Belagavi: Speaker U.T. Khader on Friday warned that members who disrupt Assembly proceedings by talking in their seats during debates will be made to sit in the House for an entire day as a disciplinary measure.
The warning came after the Question Hour, when Deputy Leader of the Opposition Arvind Bellad was permitted to initiate a discussion on the development of North Karnataka.
At this point, expelled BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal objected, stating that he had been seeking a debate for the past three days but had not been given an opportunity.

Responding to the objection, Speaker Khader said Bellad had already been granted permission and assured Yatnal that he would be allowed to speak at the next opportunity. He noted that even as a serious discussion was underway, several MLAs were speaking among themselves with their microphones on, disrupting the proceedings.
Expressing displeasure over the conduct of members, Khader likened the situation to football, where players receive red, yellow, or white cards for violations. Similarly, he said, the Assembly issues warning cards to members who disturb the House. If they fail to correct themselves despite repeated warnings, they would be required to remain seated in the Assembly hall for a full day as punishment, he stated.
