Venkatesh Prasad, Shanta Rangaswamy Launch KSCA Election Manifesto With revival Of KSCA Agenda
YSR One Day Memorial Tournament: With evival of KSCA at the heart of their campaign, former India pacer Venkatesh Prasad, womens cricket legend Shanta Rangaswamy, and former KSCA treasurer Vinay Mruthyunjaya unveiled their manifesto for the forthcoming Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) elections, likely to be held between the end of September and November this year. The trio placed restoring the glory of M. Chinnaswamy Stadium and empowering Karnataka cricket as their top priorities. Addressing a press conference on Wednesday, Prasad vowed to bring back international cricket to the iconic venue while developing a vibrant, inclusive cricket ecosystem across the state. Our endeavour will be to rebuild and strengthen relations with the Government and civic authorities to restore M. Chinnaswamy Stadium as Indias premier cricket venue. Bring international cricket matches back to this historic ground, reinstating its stature on the global stage, said Prasad. Prasad, who earlier served as KSCA vice-president during Anil Kumble and Javagal Srinaths administration (20132016), has joined hands with Vinay, the associations former treasurer. Pointing out the current administrative vacuum, he stressed that elections should not be delayed further. He noted, Since KSCA has been functioning without an elected secretary and treasurer for close to two months now, the elections must be conducted at the earliest. If elected, their panel has promised to honour Karnatakas cricketing icons in a symbolic yet meaningful way. The Pavilion End of the Chinnaswamy Stadium would be named after Anil Kumble, while the Northern End would be dedicated to Rahul Dravid. Stands would also be named in honour of Shanta Rangaswamy and former BCCI Secretary C. Nagaraj. A major plank of their manifesto is a comprehensive stadium safety audit to address recent concerns, with remedial measures implemented to transform Chinnaswamy into a world-class, ultra-modern Smart Stadium. Plans include digital ticketing, advanced crowd management, cutting-edge fan experience technology, and state-of-the-art facilities. The manifesto also proposes the establishment of a world-class cricket museum inspired by Lords, showcasing Karnatakas rich cricket heritage through interactive exhibits, digital archives, and virtual reality experiences of historic moments. Alongside, official merchandise and memorabilia would be launched to engage fans. Speaking about cricketing development across levels, Vinay underlined the panels vision: Our team will also work towards organising structured tournaments at all age levels, ensuring timely completion before selection cycles. Revive the prestigious YSR One Day Memorial Tournament and Group II competitions. Restore the grandeur and competitive quality of the Maharaja T20 Tournament. Facilitate reciprocal overseas tours for elite cricketers across all age groups, and most importantly, the recognition of former state cricketers and benefits for their families. Womens cricket, a critical focus area, was outlined by Shanta Rangaswamy. We will launch structured leagues equivalent to mens tournaments for all age brackets and introduce inter-school and inter-college cricket tournaments to nurture young female talent. Strategic planning to elevate the stature and quality of the Maharani T20 Tournament and enable reciprocal overseas tours for elite women cricketers is also part of our manifesto, she said. The panels infrastructure roadmap covers major projects across Karnataka. Pending work at Alur, Belgaum, and Hubli will be completed, while new turf grounds with signature pavilions are planned for Hassan, Davangere, Raichur, and Gadag. There are also ambitious proposals for building a world-class stadium in Mysuru and expanding facilities in other key centres. On the developmental front, the manifesto details a revival of the Karnataka Cricket Academy, to be led by a legendary former cricketer. It proposes involving former state players as mentors and coaches, setting up zonal academies across Karnataka, and providing scholarships for underprivileged cricketers. Specialised training programmes for umpires, scorers, physiotherapists, analysts, and coaches, along with a dedicated counselling cell for young players, also form part of the academy vision. The manifesto emphasises zonal cricket decentralisation, promising to host most BCCI matches at zonal centres, expand turf pitches across districts, and encourage structured cricket for all age groups. Importantly, equal emphasis will be placed on promoting womens cricket development in all districts. Specialised training programmes for umpires, scorers, physiotherapists, analysts, and coaches, along with a dedicated counselling cell for young players, also form part of the academy vision.

Minister Dr G Parameshwara: Firms keen on Metro to Tumakuru
TUMAKURU: Home Minister Dr G Parameshwara here on Friday expressed confidence that the Metro Rail project from Bengaluru will be extended to Tumakuru as some companies have expressed interest to implement the project under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model. The Metro Rail feasibility report was submitted to the government and it will be presented before the cabinet or technical committee. Some companies have come forward to implement the project and a special purpose vehicle (SPV) will be floated to run the project. The median running along the National Highway will be used, and for that permission from the Centre is required. If the sanction is not given, we will plan an alternative, he said after taking part in the 78th Independence Day celebrations at the Mahatma Gandhi stadium here. Metro and suburban rails are two possible transport projects between Bengaluru and Tumakuru, Kolar, Mysuru, Kanakapura and Nelamangala. The cabinet approved an allocation of Rs 25 crore for a feasibility study. He said the work on the six-lane National Highway between Bengaluru and Tumakuru is in progress and it will be converted to ten lanes. The minister said CM Siddaramaiah, PWD minister Satish Jarkiholi and he met Union Surface Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari to discuss this project. Deputy Commissioner Subha Kalyan and Superintendent of Police Ashok KV have cleared some bottlenecks and the work will be completed by 2026, he said. He hoped that the construction of a new international cricket stadium near Tumakuru by the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) will help prevent stampedes like the one at M Chinnaswamy stadium that claimed the lives of 11. The government has already handed over 41 acres to KSCA, but the project was delayed after the cricket association was busy battling issues related to the stampede, he said. KSCA has made a provision of Rs 160 crore for the stadium.
Cardiac arrest deaths tripled in last two years in Karnataka, shows data
BENGALURU: Deaths linked to cardiac arrests recorded under Karnatakas Dr Puneeth Rajkumar Hrudaya Jyoti Yojana have almost tripled, surging from 229 in 202324 to 608 in 202425, according to the state health department data. The number of critical ECG screenings also nearly tripled in the same period from 2,489 to 6,767. Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao shared the figures as an answer during the ongoing monsoon Legislative Council session. The department does not have a total number of heart attacks reported in the state or related deaths outside Dr Puneeth Rajkumar scheme, because heart attacks, so far, were not considered as a notifiable disease. It was only this year during July that the Health Minister announced that cardiac attack related deaths outside hospitals will be declared as notifiable. The minister had announced this after a surge was reported in heart attack cases in the state and a committee was formed to look into sudden cardiovascular events among individuals under 45 years of age. However, a government order regarding the same is not yet issued. Health department officials said that over 75% of the heart attack cases reported involved individuals with more than one cardiac risk factor and that the most contributing factors include obesity, heavy alcohol intake, smoking and high blood pressure. To reduce the risk of sudden heart-related deaths, health department officials said that they are considering expanding CPR training for specific groups such as physical trainers in gyms apart from school and college students and teachers. Additionally, efforts are on to ensure that gyms, malls, and other crowded places are equipped with Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) to ensure immediate response during cardiac arrests. What is the scheme? The state government launched the Dr Puneeth Rajkumar Hrudaya Jyoti Yojana in October 2023 to provide emergency cardiac care to patients suffering from heart attacks or sudden cardiac issues within the golden hour. The model uses a hub-and-spoke approach - Hubs are established at 16 super-specialty hospitals like Jayadeva Hospital in Bengaluru, Mysuru, and Kalaburagi. These hubs are connected to 85 spoke centers, encompassing district and taluk hospitals where patients first present. After initial treatment at a spoke, patients requiring advanced care are referred to a hub for specialized interventions. The scheme delivers tenecteplase injections - a clot-busting medication that costs up to Rs 45,000, at free of cost.

A mechanical engineer by qualification, the 34-year-old grandson of former prime minister HD Deve Gowda and a former MP, Prajwal Revanna is now a convicted rapist and lodged in Bengaluru Central Prison as prisoner number 15528. On August 2, the MLA/MP court in Bengaluru sentenced Prajwal to life imprisonment and fined Rs 11 lakh for raping a 47-year-old domestic worker in Mysuru and recording the assault. Of the four rape and sexual abuse cases against him, this was the first case (rape) that led to trial and conviction. The fine will be paid as compensation to the survivor a daily wage worker, who had the spine of steel and had withstood shame, agony, social ostracisation and fear of the backlash from the political elite. Pronouncing the maximum sentence of life imprisonment following his conviction in rape, Sessions Judge Santosh Gajanana Bhat, in his 466-page judgement, held that as an MP, Prajwal wielded his political and social dominance to violate a woman employed in his household, coercing her into silence through fear, shame, and manipulation. What are the safeguards against an arbitrary exercise of power? The question posed in the judgement echoed through generational trauma of sexual exploitation of disempowered women by the rich and entitled. What would be the just compensation that can be awarded is a question that requires to be determined; the tone of the verdict is as poignant as it is pertinent. Prajwal, a member of the 17th Lok Sabha from Hassan constituency the heartland of Janata Dal (Secular) of his grandfathers making was once the third youngest MP. He hails from the affluent, being the grandson of Deve Gowda the Mannina Maga (son of the soil) son of former Karnataka minister, HD Revanna and nephew of Union minister and former Karnataka chief minister HD Kumaraswamy. A graduate from Bangalore Institute of Technology, Prajwal discontinued his MTech course in Australia to help his grandfather with the 2014 Lok Sabha election from the JD(S) home turf Hassan. The latter won the election. Based on a family decision, Prajwal contested the 2019 Parliament elections and emerged the sole winner in the six out of the 28 Lok Sabha seats contested by the JD(S). Prajwal owed his electoral debut to his grandfather, who gave up Hassan to pave way for the son to rise. Deve Gowda, who instead contested from Tumakaru, lost to the BJP. Prajwals rise in politics was as sudden as is his downfall. In 2023, based on two petitions, the HC of Karnataka declared his election null and void, directing the EC to take action against Prajwal for election malpractice. His 2024 Lok Sabha campaign was marred amid the sudden circulation of pen drives in Hassan containing videos of rape and sexual assault, which Prajwal allegedly shot a week before the Lok Sabha polls. On April 20, his election agent filed an FIR claiming foul play behind the videos. On April 26, Prajwal left the country on a diplomatic passport, soon after polling. On April 27, the Karnataka government formed an SIT to probe the charges against Prajwal Revanna. Three days later, he was suspended by the JD(S). On May 5, the victim lodged a police complaint, alleging sexual violation by Prajwal. On May 31, after a Blue Corner Notice was issued against him, Prajwal returned to India to face probe. The SIT chargesheeted him on September 8. His bail plea was junked by the Supreme Court in November. Trial in the case, which began on May 2 this year, concluded on July 18. Prajwal was convicted on August 1 and sentenced for life the next day. Having considered mitigating factors; that Prajwal was not a repeat offender and has to look after his ageing parents, the court heavily weighed upon the aggravating factors in which the Judge held that this was a classic case wherein blatant violation of law and procedure were made by the mighty and powerful people. By his horrendous act, Prajwal showed disgrace to the society which reposed faith in him by getting him elected, read the verdict.
