Karnataka: Despite manpower crunch, SDRF rescues 4K people in 2024
BENGALURU: Despite a shortage of manpower in the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF), the team successfully rescued 3,978 people out of 3,318 emergency calls received in 2024. The SDRF, a specialized unit of the Karnataka State Fire and Emergency Services (KSFES), plays a crucial role in disaster response, including flood relief, landslides, vehicle entrapment, and other natural calamities. The force is tasked with safeguarding lives and property across the state. According to the official KSFES website, Karnataka currently has five SDRF companies stationed in Bengaluru, Mangaluru, Belagavi, Kalaburagi and Davanagere. However, the force operates with only 137 permanent personnel, and an additional 79 ex-Army personnel serve in the team. KSFES and SDRF Director TN Shivashankar told TNIE that SDRF plays a crucial role in rescue operations across the state. The highest number of rescue calls was reported from Mangaluru and Udupi, especially during the monsoon season when SDRF teams are most active. The teams have also successfully rescued children who have fallen into borewells, responded to major vehicle accidents, and assisted in fire mishaps and building collapses. He added that the team also conducts awareness and training programmes for the public on the use of life-saving equipment like life jackets and ropes in critical situations. Another senior officer stated that SDRF companies need to be increased in coastal regions, as these areas are more vulnerable to natural disasters. He said the shortage of personnel needs to be addressed through increased recruitment and better resources to enhance the efficiency of the force in disaster management.With the monsoon approaching, the department should focus on improving infrastructure and deploying additional manpower, he said, adding that the growing number of rescue operations highlights the need for a well-equipped disaster response team to minimize casualties and improve preparedness for future emergencies, he said.

Karnataka archaeology, tourism projects lag despite budget push
BENGALURU: Protection of historically important locations and promoting them as tourist destinations was the focus this year for the Department of Archaeology, Museums and Heritage. Officials have been busy documenting antique sites and locations. In keeping with the 2024-25 budget announcement, they have completed documenting 530 protected monuments using 3D laser scanning technology, and creating a walkthrough 3D virtual tour at chosen archaeological sites. Remodelling and reviving heritage museums in the state was also initiated this year. While Mysuru museum was inaugurated, work is going on at Venkatappa Art Gallery, in Madikeri, Mangaluru and Kalaburagi museums. A project has been drawn up to conserve 25 monuments spread across 150 acres in Chittapura taluk of Kalaburgi district. A letter was written to the Archaeological Survey of India to take up exploration and excavation works. The letter includes a request to set up a research centre at the site, said an official. Though the budget listed the protection and revival of the ancient water supply system popularly known as Karez in Bidar and Vijayapura districts, Tourism Minister HK Patil had to remind officials to speed up and complete work during the recent Karnataka International Travel Expo (KITE). The minister also directed officials to document progress and list it in the 3D virtual tour series, terming it as a pride of Karnataka. According to experts, the departments of tourism and state archaeology should now shift focus from Hampi to other lesser known, yet unique, heritage places. Hampi has been overly focused and emphasized. It is an important landmark of the state. The budget should emphasize and list other places to promote tourism, for this infrastructure facilities need to be enhanced at a rapid pace. Merely listing them in the budget is not sufficient. Though improving Anjanadri hills with a budget allocation of Rs 100 crore has started, it is not going at the expected pace. Government agencies seem to drag their feet and lack coordination, said experts. The budget had also listed cable car and ropeway facilities at ten major tourist spots. But this saw little progress, due to rising criticism from environmental and conservation groups. Tourism officials stated that studies were under way to identify the best locations for the project to ensure there are no issues. We are taking cautious steps, especially after facing criticism for the Roerich project. The project was also listed by the Union government. An eco-tourism project proposal was submitted but is facing criticism as it is a part of the elephant corridor and is a forest patch, the tourism official said. The budget also listed creation of adventure water sports tourism facilities to strengthen coastal tourism. The department entrusted work to the respective DCs to prepare reports, but work continues to move at a lethargic pace, and neighbouring Goa and Kerala continue to gain from it. Despite the release of the revised tourism policy 2024-29, improving infrastructure facilities to draw tourists and investments is yet to gain momentum. If experts and some officials are to be believed, many plans are on paper and the government is using the long gestation period as a guise to cover their folly.
137 immigrants from Bangladesh, Pakistan to be deported soon: Karnataka HM Parameshwara
BENGALURU: Home Minister Dr G Parameshwara on Wednesday informed the Assembly that 137 illegal immigrants, including 25 Pakistanis, have been detained in the state. They will soon be deported to their respective countries after completing the procedure of informing their embassies through the Ministry of External Affairs, he said in his reply to senior BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal in the Assembly. He said 84 illegal immigrants were found in Bengaluru city, 27 in Bengaluru Rural, 12 in Shivamogga, three in Hassan, one in Mangaluru and 10 in Udupi. In Vijayapura district, 33 Bangladeshis were traced in 2016 and all of them were deported then, he said. There are no illegal immigrants now in Vijayapura, he clarified. He said the government is also serious about African nationals peddling narcotics in Karnataka and tabs are being kept on them . But he expressed concern over Bangladeshis working at coffee plantations in Hassan, Chikkamagaluru and Sakleshpur. Estate owners had got ration cards and electoral cards done for them, he said. On Yatnals appeal to set up a unit of the National Investigation Agency in Vijayapura, Parameshwara said the state is not supposed to send a proposal as the Centre has to decide on its own. Parameshwara said the police have taken action against the racket of diverting rice from the public distribution system and illegal country made pistol racket. On land mafia targeting elderly people to grab their land by creating fake documents, he said 27 cases have been registered and action has been taken against 173 accused.

Karnataka Assembly Speaker UT Khader bats for harmony to up coastal tourism
BENGALURU: Assembly Speaker UT Khader on Tuesday said the issue of communal harmony in coastal Karnataka has to be addressed, so as to ensure that people come there with love, and not in fear. When BJP Byndoor MLA Gururaj Shetty Gantihole raised the issue of considering coastal tourism as a special package during the question hour, Tourism Minister HK Patil explained the proposal to improve coastal tourism in the state. Khader, who is also the MLA from Mangaluru, said God has blessed coastal Karnataka with abundance, adding that no one will get such a place with all facilities. We have airport to seaport, potential for medical care, education, and spiritual tourism. We have everything that attracts people. The only issue we have is with communal harmony, and the MLAs elected from this region have to work towards it. If we have a beautiful environment and nature, and there are problems because of the said issue, it will be of no use. If we have clashes, no one will visit. Even if the government provides more facilities to improve the tourism sector, it wont help. If we do not maintain communal harmony, people wont visit owing to fear, he advised. Seaplanes to give coastal tourism a boost The Karnataka government is planning to introduce seaplanes along the coast that will boost the tourism sector, Tourism and Law Minister Minister HK Patil said here on Tuesday. He said the government has given prominence to coastal tourism in its Tourism Policy 2024-29, and stressed on investment and development. People from all over the country visit coastal Karnataka which has the potential to grow. We are considering introducing seaplanes for which discussions are on with other countries, and Russian authorities have shown interest. We are planning to invite them for discussions, Patil told the Assembly. Patil said the state has 320km of beaches. We have identified 40 spots to be developed, and have called for tenders. Once we develop the beaches and introduce seaplanes, tourism potential will increase, he said. Patil was responding to Byndoor MLA Gururaj Shetty Ghantihole who appealed to the minister to relax Coastal Regulation Zone rules, as Goa and Kerala have done, to attract more tourists.
