Mangaluru: Biruver Kudla Mangaluru questioned Sharan Pumpwell saying, “Bajrang Dal Leader Sharan Pumpwell is okay with the money of the Muslims. But, why can he not stand the Muslim youth?” they questioned.

On Monday, speaking at a press conference in the city, Biruver Kudla’s Convener Laxmeesh said, “Sharan Pumpwell had once said in a gathering that was done recently that Biruver Kudla is an organization meant for only one caste.  Biruver Kudla is an organization that came into existence to serve society. In 7 years, without seeing caste differences, this organization has offered the help of 3 crore rupees to the poor”, he said.

“Sharan Pumpwell has spoken about the Biruver Kudla in a defamatory manner. Therefore, Biruver Kudla will undertake a legal course against him”, he said.

Biruver Kudla’s Deepu Shettigar addressed the media saying, “With a lease in hand, Sharan Pumpwell has earned by collecting a considerable amount from several Muslim Centres including City Centre. For a man such as him, who is known to fight in the Hindutva cause, the money from Muslim institutions is okay, but Muslim youth are not. How right is this?” he questioned.

From carrying the dead to building houses, we have been serving society. Unlike Sharan Pumpwell who does work to break/divide the society, Biruver Kudla has only done work for people’s welfare in Ballalbagh”, he said.

Kishore Babu, Vidya, Rakesh, Uday Kumar, and others were present during the press conference.

Gaza City: The director of Al-Shifa Hospital in northern Gaza, Dr. Muhammad Abu Salmiya, has issued an urgent warning regarding the spread of what he described as a “new virus” within the enclave, further straining the territory’s already devastated health system.

Dr. Abu Salmiya stated that the virus is presenting with symptoms including high fever, joint pain, runny nose, persistent cough, and prolonged diarrhea lasting more than a week. “We do not have tests to determine the cause of the virus,” he explained, noting that the outbreak is directly linked to deteriorating humanitarian conditions.

According to him, widespread malnutrition has weakened immunity levels among the population, while the absence of clean water, basic sanitation supplies, and the overcrowding of families in temporary shelters have created an environment conducive to the rapid spread of infections.

“The new virus is exacerbating the pressure on the exhausted health system,” Dr. Abu Salmiya added, highlighting that hospitals and medical facilities are struggling to cope with the surge in cases due to shortages of medicine, equipment, and trained staff.

The warning comes as the war in Gaza, described by Palestinian health authorities as a genocide, enters its 693rd day. Local reports estimate that at least 62,996 Palestinians have been killed since the beginning of Israel’s assault. Among them, 317 people are said to have died from starvation, a consequence of Israel’s blockade on the entry of humanitarian aid, including food and medical supplies.

Health experts have repeatedly cautioned that Gaza faces the risk of severe outbreaks of infectious diseases due to collapsed infrastructure, malnutrition, and the destruction of water and sanitation networks. International organizations have called for urgent medical assistance and unhindered humanitarian access to prevent further loss of life.

The emergence of this unidentified virus adds to the mounting health crisis in Gaza, where hospitals are already overwhelmed by war casualties and chronic shortages. Medical professionals warn that without immediate international intervention, the situation could spiral into a large-scale epidemic.
