Understand concerns behind parents' advise: CM tells youth
Bengaluru, Jan 11: Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Friday visited the NIMHANS where a youth Venugopal who tried to commit suicide at Metro Station, was admitted and enquired his health condition and advised him to understand the concerns of the parents.
A mother who has been leading life with tailoring work advised her son Venugopal who has failed in one subject in SSLC examination, to pass the subject. Depressed over his mother’s advice, the youth tried to commit suicide.
In view of this, the CM visited the hospital and advised him not to take extreme steps in life for the small things. They should understand the concerns behind the advise of the parents, he said. But Venugopal said he did not try to commit suicide, but he did not know what happened at that moment.
As the examination time is approaching, it is common that both the parents and the students get panic. The schools and colleges should create pressure-free environment for the students to prepare for the examinations. Students should also receive the advises of their parents and teachers in positive way and concentrate on studies, the CM said.

Another North Goa nightclub sealed; Kejriwal says corruption led to fire tragedy
Panaji (PTI): As part of a crackdown against tourist establishments violating laws and safety norms in the aftermath of the Arpora fire tragedy, Goa authorities on Saturday sealed a renowned club at Vagator and revoked the fire department NOC of another club.
Cafe CO2 Goa, located on a cliff overlooking the Arabian Sea at Vagator beach in North Goa, was sealed. The move came two days after Goya Club, also in Vagator, was shut down for alleged violations of rules.
Elsewhere, campaigning for local body polls, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal said the fire incident at Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub at Arpora, which claimed 25 lives on December 6, happened because the BJP government in the state was corrupt.
An inspection of Cafe CO2 Goa by a state government-appointed team revealed that the establishment, with a seating capacity of 250, did not possess a no-objection certificate (NOC) of the Fire and Emergency Services Department. The club, which sits atop Ozrant Cliff, also did not have structural stability, the team found.
The Fire and Emergency Services on Saturday also revoked the NOC issued to Diaz Pool Club and Bar at Anjuna as the fire extinguishers installed in the establishment were found to be inadequate, said divisional fire officer Shripad Gawas.
A notice was issued to Nitin Wadhwa, the partner of the club, he said in the order.
Campaigning at Chimbel village near Panaji in support of his party's Zilla Panchayat election candidate, Aam Aadmi Party leader Kejriwal said the nightclub fire at Arpora happened because of the "corruption of the Pramod Sawant-led state government."
"Why this fire incident happened? I read in the newspapers that the nightclub had no occupancy certificate, no building licence, no excise licence, no construction licence or trade licence. The entire club was illegal but still it was going on," he said.
"How could it go on? Couldn't Pramod Sawant or anyone else see it? I was told that hafta (bribe) was being paid," the former Delhi chief minister said.
A person can not work without bribing officials in the coastal state, Kejriwal said, alleging that officers, MLAs and even ministers are accepting bribes.
