Kasturba Medical College and Hospital opened the walk-in laboratory and sample collection services in Manipal on Friday.
Inaugurating the new service Udupi District Health and Family Welfare Officer H. Nagabhushan Udupa said that the community benefit service launched by the hospital will help many patients and others in general.

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.
