The Udupi district administration on Monday directed different departments entrusted with enforcing COVID-19 appropriate behaviour to impose fines against violations in their respective jurisdiction. Additional Deputy Commissioner B. Sadashiva Prabhu has in his order said that COVID-19 outbreak was contained to a large extent during the first and second waves due to strict enforcement of norms. With the government allowing almost all sectors to open, activities have resumed in different fields, including commercial, religious and industrial. However, it appeared people are not adhering to norms in public places, including wearing face mask, maintaining social distancing and maintaining stipulated numbers in social gatherings. Consequently, there has been an increase in the number of COVID-19 positive cases in the district, Mr. Prabhu noted.After a long, tiring day all we want is to jump right on our cosy beds and rest comfortably on our soft, fluffy pillows, right? Pillows are not quite appreciated as much as electric cars or air-fryers, for instance. Pillows are a wonderful man-made creation that has improved the lives and sleep of people across the globe. Did you know ages ago people used to rest their heads on a HARD ROCK? So how did humans go from sleeping on stones to cosy, fluffy and soft pillows today? Let’s get into the origin of your everyday pillows!
As the November 30 deadline nears for installing vehicle location tracking devices (VLTD) and emergency panic buttons in public service and nationally permitted goods vehicles in Karnataka, transport unions representing cab, bus, and truck operators are urging the government to reconsider the mandate. They argue that the high cost of these devices and a lack of awareness have made it difficult for many vehicle owners to comply with the requirement.
