They would be set up in Karnataka
Having initiated steps to expedite the process of getting reports of genome sequencing, the State Government would take further steps to set up additional laboratories in Karnataka.
Addressing mediapersons in Hubballi on December 7, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said that arrangements had been made for getting RT-PCR test done in all districts of Karnataka. However, genome sequencing requires advanced equipment and expertise, for which necessary arrangements had already been made. In addition, in cases where further testing is required, the samples were being sent to NCBS for expert opinion.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
