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.

Work to build bullet train's origin station in Mumbai progressing very fast: Vaishnaw
Mumbai (PTI): Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said on Saturday that the work to construct the bullet train’s origin station at BKC in Mumbai is progressing rapidly.
Vaishnaw visited the under-construction underground station at Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) and reviewed its on-ground progress.
He was accompanied by officials from the National High-Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL), which is executing the over 500 km-long Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train project, along with representatives from Central Railway and Western Railway.
He said the lowest B3 basement level and the strengthening of the station walls have been completed.
"The work at the bullet train's origin station in BKC is progressing very fast. The station wall work has been started, and simultaneously, the tunnel work is progressing very fast," the Railway Minister told reporters.
Beyond the tunnel portion (Shil Phata), all ongoing works are moving at a high speed in the Maharashtra section following the land acquisition, he added.
He said a multi-storey structure is planned at the BKC station.
"The operational areas will be located on levels B1 to B3. The B3 will serve as a train parking area, B2 will house operational functions, and B1 with the ground level will serve passengers. Work is underway to build this world-class station," he added.
NHSRCL officials said that approximately 76 per cent of the excavation work at the BKC bullet train station has been completed.
Following the inspection, the Minister proceeded to Pune, where he was scheduled to flag off two long-distance trains later in the evening.
The total cost of the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail Corridor project is estimated at Rs 1.08 lakh crore. As per the shareholding arrangement, the Government of India will contribute Rs 10,000 crore, while the states of Gujarat and Maharashtra will each contribute Rs 5,000 crore. The remaining funding will be provided through a loan from Japan at 0.1 per cent interest.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had last week said that the ambitious bullet train project will become operational by 2028.
