2nd P.U.C offline classes resumes in Dakshina Kannada on Wednesday
Mangaluru: The Pre-University Colleges which were closed thus far as a precautionary measure against the COVID-19 were reopened on Wednesday and offline classes were once again resumed in the Dakshina Kannada.
As per the COVID guidelines, classes will begin at 9.30 am and end at 1.30 pm. Accordingly, only 50% of the class population will be allowed to attend physical classes. Therefore, batch-wise will be conducted as per the directive. Principals of respective colleges have been notified to take full responsibility towards implementing the standard operating procedure (SOP) in their colleges.
“The process of vaccinating children below the year of 18 has not yet begun. Therefore, the problem of having to vaccinate 2nd P.U.C students hasn’t arisen yet. However, the lecturers/teachers and the non-teaching staff are mandatorily required to have undergone vaccination”, District Commissioner ordered.
The DC has also given specific orders to mandatorily open COVID Care Centres with hostel facilities in colleges to help students from Kerala to undergo 7 days of compulsory quarantining and also provide medical care to students who have been affected by Corona.
The students who have completed their 7-day quarantine period must take an RT PCR test and those with the negative test report will be allowed to attend classes. The District Commissioner has also directed the colleges to undertake necessary arrangements to ensure that the students quarantining in the college COVID Care Centre are provided with facilities to attend the classes online.
The DC has also directed all the teaching and non-teaching staff of educational institutions to attend duty with a negative RT PCR test report and conduct separate classes for students living in the hostel and other local students.
Students traveling every day from Kerala are required to produce a negative RTPCR report once in seven days, upon which they will be allowed to attend physical classes. The teaching and non-teaching staff who commute daily from Kerala are also required to produce a negative RTPCR report once in seven days (even if they have received both doses of vaccination) to attend duty in their respective education institution, DC informed.

Karnataka ex-MLA, a doctor, saves life of American co-passenger mid air
Bengaluru (PTI): A Karnataka ex-MLA, Anjali Nimbalkar, a doctor by profession, has saved the life of an American woman passenger, who suffered a medical emergency mid-air during a Goa–New Delhi flight, official sources said on Sunday.
The incident happened when Nimbalkar, AICC secretary co-incharge of Goa, Daman & Diu, Dadra Nagar Haveli, was travelling to Delhi to attend the "Vote Chori" rally organised by Congress at Ramleela Maidan on Sunday, they added.
Nimbalkar performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and revived the co-passenger, who complained of uneasiness and shivering, fainted and lost her pulse, they said.
Nimbalkar reportedly remained by the patient’s side for the entire duration of the flight, constantly paying attention to her medical needs and comforting her.
Soon after landing at Delhi, the unwell foreign passenger was shifted to a hospital by an ambulance, sources said, adding that Nimbalkar's timely action received praise from passengers and crew members.
Lauding Nimbalkar, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, in a post on 'X' said, "Deeply moved and incredibly proud to hear about the remarkable presence of mind and compassion shown by former Khanapur MLA Dr Anjali Nimbalkar during a Goa–New Delhi flight. When an American woman suffered a medical emergency mid-air, Dr Anjali instantly rose to the occasion and administered timely CPR, saving a precious life."

What makes this even more inspiring is that, despite having stepped away from her medical profession and being actively engaged in politics, the doctor within her responded without a second thought, he said, adding that "this selfless act reflects not just professional expertise, but a profound sense of humanity, service, and responsibility toward fellow beings."
"Whether in power or not, leaders like Dr Anjali Nimbalkar stand as shining examples of true public service—always ready to help, without expecting anything in return. Such individuals set a powerful standard for society and remind us of the true meaning of leadership," he further added.
Thanking the CM, Nimbalkar said, she has done her duty as a Doctor.
"It (is) also my job and duty as a doctor to serve in this capacity whenever required. Means a lot coming from you, who himself is an example of social commitment," she said in a post on 'X', replying to the CM.
