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.

ED searches: Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah accuses Centre of targeting Cong leaders
Chamarajanagara (Karnataka) (PTI): Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday accused the central government and its agencies of consistently targeting Congress members by using searches on their properties, and questioned why similar action is not taken against BJP leaders.
He was reacting to searches conducted by the Enforcement Directorate on Monday on several individuals, among them the sons of Karnataka Congress MLA N A Haris and the grandson of former Union Cabinet minister K Rahman Khan, in connection with a cryptocurrency-linked money laundering case.
"The central government always targets Congress leaders. Will they raid the houses of BJP leaders?" Siddaramaiah said in response to a question. More than a dozen premises in the city were searched as part of the operation carried out by the ED under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
The premises searched comprised those of Mohammed Haris Nalapad and Omar Farook Nalapad, the sons of the MLA; Aqeeb Khan, the grandson of veteran Congress leader K Rahman Khan; and an alleged crypto hacker, Srikrishna Ramesh, alias Sriki, officials said.
The money laundering case stems from Karnataka Police FIRs and charge sheets filed in a 2017 case involving the hacking of national and international websites, theft of bitcoins, and the sale of these stolen virtual digital assets (VDAs) through crypto platforms by the alleged hacker Sriki and his associates.
Mohammed Haris Nalapad, Omar Farook Nalapad, and Aqeeb Khan are alleged to be beneficiaries of the proceeds of crime generated through this crypto-linked activity, officials added.
