Shimoga: Minister for Rural Development K. S Eeshwarappa issued a statement saying, “I am a BJP worker, and I am concerned about the Hindu society and the country’s development. I have been fighting for the nation and society since before. Nobody can plant a picket and sit idly in politics. If the Ministerial post goes away, I will consider the picket to have come undone”, he said. 

Addressing a press conference in Shimoga, he said, “When I became an MLA, the seniors themselves had given a ticket. When I became a minister of the department, I have listened to the party and the organization. I haven’t considered the Ministerial position in the least. I had resigned from the Central Silk Board to contest against Deve Gowda in Kanakapur. If the party has decided to prioritize youngsters in politics, I am ready to abide by their decision”, he said. 

“Nalin Kumar has said that the audio does not belong to him. Some crazed individual has done this. Somebody has created that audio. Therefore, there is no need for an investigation regarding this. However, an investigation must be undertaken to find out who made the audio viral. I will fight for those who are living for the Hindu society and the nation”, he said.

Pilibhit (PTI): A 19-day-old elephant calf, brought from Bijnor, was placed under care at the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve (PTR) on Sunday, an official said and added that the calf got separated from its mother in the forest area of Bijnor.

The calf was born on December 2 in the Bijnor forest area and got separated from its mother shortly after birth, the official said.

The forest department made several attempts to reunite it with its mother, but without any success. To ensure the calf's safety and better care, it was decided to transfer it to the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve on the instructions of senior officials.

On Saturday, Deputy Director Manish Singh received the calf. Special arrangements have been made in the reserve for its care. It has been kept in a safe and clean environment to provide it with a natural setting and protect it from external noise and disturbances.

Singh told reporters that raising an 19-day-old calf is challenging.

It requires a special diet as a substitute for mother's milk and constant monitoring.

He said a special team has been formed to provide 24-hour care. Since the calf is very young, it is being cared for like a newborn baby.

According to Singh, the primary responsibility for monitoring the calf's health has been entrusted to PTR's veterinarian, Dr Daksh Gangwar. Under his supervision, a complete record of the calf's health checkups, diet, and body temperature is being maintained. The team is ensuring that the calf does not contract any infection.
