Bearys Institute of Technology students design masks to fight coronavirus
Mangaluru: The Bearys Institute of Technology (BIT) students have come up with homemade masks to protect from coronavirus.
Afeefa and Priya who are pursuing computer Science Engineering have designed the mask which is made from easily available materials at home like cloth bag, elastic, needle and thread.
The students told they wanted to do something on their part to fight this pandemic. "With the shortage of PPE and N95 masks, it's our duty to make masks at home and use so that the N95 masks are easily available for the medical professionals and others who are fighting against coronavirus directly," they said.
Syed Mohamed Beary, Chairman of Bearys group appreciated the students for their efforts and concern. Principal Dr. SI Manjur Basha lauded the timely action of the students. The Heads and faculties of BIT Engineering, Polytechnic and BEADS distributed the masks locally.

TCS orders probe, engages external experts in Nashik Case
Mumbai: Tata Consultancy Services on Friday said it has initiated a formal internal investigation into allegations linked to its Nashik unit and engaged independent external experts to ensure transparency in the process.
Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director K Krithivasan was quoted by The Observer Post as saying that the company has appointed Deloitte and Trilegal as independent counsel to support the probe. The internal investigation is being led by Aarthi Subramanian.
The company has constituted a supervisory committee chaired by independent director Keki Mistry, which will oversee the process. The committee will also review findings and monitor the implementation of recommendations.
Krithivasan said a preliminary review of the company’s internal systems and records had not revealed any complaints of the nature being alleged through its ethics or POSH channels.
He also clarified that an employee named in media reports, Nida Khan, was not part of the human resources function and did not hold any leadership role. He informed that she worked as a process associate.
The company has also rejected reports suggesting that operations at the Nashik facility had been suspended. It asserted that the unit continues to function without disruption with a zero-tolerance policy towards misconduct.
