MLA accuses DC Rohini Sindhuri of hiding COVID deaths in Mysuru by submitting false data to govt
Says he will take the matter up with Governor, Human Rights Commission
Mysuru: Revealing the data on the real number of COVID deaths in the district, MLA Sa. Ra. Mahesh accused District Commissioner Rohini Sindhuri of fudging the number of COVID deaths in the report submitted to the state and informed that he was set to file a complaint against the DC to the Governor and Human Rights Commission.
In a press conference organized in his office on Monday, the MLA said, “According to the Mysuru City’s registrations, 969 deaths had occurred as on the 1st of May. However, the data submitted by the district administration suggests 238 deaths. Altogether, more than 3000 deaths have occurred across the district. When it’s like this, why did the District Commissioner submit false data to the government” he questioned.
The District Commissioner has deceived the District In-charge Minister, Chief Secretary, and the Chief Minister. By playing with the deaths of the people, she has violated human rights. I will meet the Governor immediately and register a complaint against her. Also, a complaint will be registered with the Human Rights Commission”, MLA Sa. Ra. Mahesh revealed.
“DC Rohini said that she was focused on controlling Covid19. When that was the case, why was COVID testing reduced? When more deaths have occurred in the district, why was false data submitted to the government?” he questioned.
“Mysuru is one of the worst-hit district by COVID in India. Despite this, the DC is only lying to the government”, he accused.
“If these deaths had occurred in your family, would you have hidden them? Don’t you possess any humanity or maternal feelings?” he outraged.
In yesterday’s report released by the district administration, K. R. Nagar and Piriyapattana are shown to have not recorded even one death. In our K. R Nagar’s Chikkanayakanahalli, Kemparaju Bin Hanumanthagowda (49) has died of Covid. Why are you telling lies?” MLA Sa. Ra. Mahesh asked.

Assam to lift all cases against Koch Rajbongshis in Foreigners' Tribunals: CM Himanta Biswa Sarma
Guwahati, Apr 4 (PTI): The Assam cabinet has decided to lift all cases pending against people from the Koch Rajbongshi community in the Foreigners' Tribunals, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Friday.
They will also no longer carry the tag of 'D' or doubtful voters, he said.
''There are 28,000 cases pending in different Foreigners' Tribunals in the state against people of the community. The cabinet has taken a historic decision of lifting the cases with immediate effect,'' Sarma said at a press conference here after the cabinet meeting.
The government believes that the Koch Rajbongshis are an indigenous community of the state and they are an inextricable part of ''our social and cultural fabric'', he asserted.
The people of this community are poor and have suffered a lot over the years, he said.
''They will no longer carry the tag of foreigners or ‘D’ voters,'' the CM said.
Foreigners Tribunals are quasi-judicial bodies, particularly in Assam, established to determine if a person residing in India is a "foreigner" as defined by the Foreigners Act of 1946, based on the Foreigners (Tribunals) Order of 1964.
These tribunals are designed to address matters related to citizenship and the presence of “foreigners” in India, specifically focusing on cases where someone is suspected of being an illegal immigrant.
There are 100 Foreigners’ Tribunals across Assam.
The Koch Rajbongshis have a sizeable presence in Assam, West Bengal, Meghalaya, and parts of Bangladesh, Nepal, and Bhutan, and they demand Scheduled Tribe status.
