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.

Lok Sabha confirms imposition of President's rule in Manipur

New Delhi (PTI): The Lok Sabha early Thursday adopted a Statutory Resolution confirming the imposition of President's rule in Manipur with opposition supporting the decision but slamming the Centre for the situation in the state.
Replying to a short debate, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said the government has taken all possible steps to bring back normalcy in the restive northeastern state.
He said there has been no violence in Manipur in the last four months, adding that talks were on with both Meitei and Kuki communities for a peaceful solution.
"By and large the situation is peaceful. As long as people are in camps, I would not say the situation is satisfactory. The government is taking all possible steps to restore peace in Manipur," he said.
The home minister said the ethnic violence in Manipur had started following an order of the state's high court.
"The day the order came, we sent the central forces by air. There was no delay on our part (in taking action)," he said.
He said, so far, 260 people have died in the violence that started in May 2023 and 80 per cent of them lost their lives within the first month.
Shah said he did not want to compare the violence that had taken place during the tenure of the previous governments but wanted to tell the House about the clashes between the Naga and Kuki communities that took place in the 1990s over five years.
"Sporadic violence continued for a decade where 750 people lost their lives. There were Kuki-Paite clashes in 1997-98 when 352 people were killed. In the Meitei-Pangal clashes in the 1990s, over 100 people died. Neither the then prime minister nor the then home minister visited Manipur," he said.
The home minister said an impression has been given that violence erupted only during the BJP rule, which is not correct.
Earlier, participating in the debate, Congress leader Shashi Tharoor said his party supported the resolution but wanted the restoration of peace and stability in the state.
"End insurgency, restore peace and stability, promote dialogue with each other, promote inclusivity," he said.
Sayani Ghosh of the Trinamool Congress said her party too supports the resolution but favours early restoration of peace.
DMK's K Kanimozhi said "divisive" politics should come to an end in Manipur.
"We want normalcy to return, peace and harmony should be restored. We also want the formation of an elected government," she said.
Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Arvind Sawant expressed concern over the prevailing situation in Manipur and said peace must be restored.
NCP (SCP) member Supriya Sule said the President's Rule is not good for democracy and sought "strong intervention" of the home minister in bringing back normalcy.
The resolution 'Consideration on the Proclamation issued by the President on the 13th February 2025 under article 356 (1) of the Constitution in relation to the State of Manipur’ was adopted by the House by a voice vote.
The violence started after a 'Tribal Solidarity March' was organised against the high court order.
There have been many efforts from the central government to bring the warring communities to the negotiating table.
