Bengaluru: BJP State General Secretary CT Ravi on Friday said that the Congress-JD(S) coalition government in the state has unofficially imposed emergency in the state.

In a tweet from his official twitter handle, Ravi also referred Karnataka CM HD Kumaraswamy as “Crying star”.

The tweet came in the wake of arrest of Ajith Shetty Heranje in connection with sharing fake news against the Chief Minister. He was arrested along with a correspondent of UKsuddi.in news portal followed by a complaint by Dinesh H B, media secretary to the CM.

Ravi further added that the attack on BJP supporters will be the last nail in the coffin of Congress-JD(S) alliance government.

In his complaint, Mr. Dinesh said that Mr. Kumaraswamy had gone to Kaup in Udupi district for two days for naturopathy treatment. On April 24 , the portal allegedly published morphed photos of Mr. Kumaraswamy and actor Radhika with a false write-up that the duo were at a resort in Udupi.

Ajith Shetty had taken a screen shot of the news clip and posted it on his social media account.

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.
