Govt withdraws police security given to resort
DK Shivakumar ridicules Yeddyurappa’s decision
Bengaluru, May 17: Soon after Yeddyurappa sworn in as the Chief Minister of the state, he has withdrawn the police security provided to Eagleton Resort near Bidadi in Ramanagar where MLAs were camping.
However, Congress leader DK Shivakumar ridiculed that if the MLAs did not have the security in this government, then what is the situation of the common people.
Speaking to reporters at a private hotel in the city on Thursday, Shivakumar said that “We do not require police security to protect our MLAs. People and our party workers are there to protect us. We will not go out of the state and we will be here”, he said.
Soon after Yeddyurappa took oath, he has nominated one MLA through the Governor. He has transferred the police officers. These incidents are some instances about the way in which the BJP government is beginning its innings, which is condemnable, he said.
JDS president HD Kumaraswamy said that as soon as taking oath, Yeddyurappa has transferred four IPS officers. How will they transfer the officers without proving their majority? The developments happening in the BJP office are ridiculous. “We will protect our 117 MLAs. All 38 JDS MLAs are with me. Nobody can divide us. I have taken the responsibility of all MLAs. Congress leaders have taken the responsibility of their MLAs”, he said.

Pakistan reports two more polio cases; Total tally now 52
ISLAMABAD: At least two more cases of poliovirus were reported in Pakistan, taking the number of infections to 52 so far this year, a report said on Friday.
“The Regional Reference Laboratory for Polio Eradication at the National Institute of Health has confirmed the detection of two more wild poliovirus type 1 (WPV1) cases in Pakistan," an official statement said.
The fresh infections — a boy and a girl — were reported from the Dera Ismail Khan district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.
“Genetic sequencing of the samples collected from the children is underway," the statement read. Dera Ismail Khan, one of the seven polio-endemic districts of southern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, has reported five polio cases so far this year.
Of the 52 cases in the country this year, 24 are from Balochistan, 13 from Sindh, 13 from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and one each from Punjab and Islamabad.
There is no cure for polio. Only multiple doses of the oral polio vaccine and completion of the routine vaccination schedule for all children under the age of five can keep them protected.
