Former IAS officer Sasikanth Senthil to join Congress

CHENNAI: Former IAS officer S Sasikanth Senthil, who had resigned from service last year alleging that democracy was being “compromised,” on Sunday announced his decision to join the Congress party. The 2009 Karnataka-cadre officer had quit the IAS last year and has since participated in many protests against the government, including the anti-NRC/CAA agitations. He was the Deputy Commissioner of Dakshina Kannada district when he resigned in September 2019. He recalled he had said while leaving service that “fundamental building blocks of our diverse democracy are being compromised in an unprecedented manner.” In a statement uploaded on his official Twitter handle, Senthil said the “Congress party is aware of the challenges that the 21st century poses for India and the world and is ready to find solutions alongside the people of the country.” “In the coming days, I look forward to building this organisation by travelling to corners of the country to spread the message of our Constitution and understanding our people and pondering on ways to make their lives better,” he said. He said the Congress party as a movement has been consistent with the founding ideologies of the Constitution and that the “current leadership understands the spirit of this ideological fight and recognises that India has to be for all.” The former bureaucrat said Tamil Nadu “is the final frontier” for divisive forces, adding Tamil people always believed in “social equity”. “I will stand with them until my last breath to protect these core values of Tamil Nadu. I have remained an activist at heart and will continue to do so within the Congress party also,” he added.

Karnataka IAS Officer Quits, Says “Democracy Being Compromised” S Sasikanth Senthil said it was a personal decision, but in the letter, he writes that it is "unethical" for him to continue as a civil servant in the government when the "fundamental building blocks of democracy are being compromised in an unprecedented manner".

[global-news-station]

An Indian Administrative Officer (IAS) from Karnataka, S Sasikanth Senthil, in protest against Narendra Modi government’s policies has submitted his resignation from the service, Kashimr Media Service reported.

Senthil, the Dakshina Kannada district deputy commissioner, was on leave since last week. In a letter, Senthil said that it was unethical for him to continue as a civil servant in the government when the “fundamental building blocks of democracy are being compromised in an unprecedented manner”.

He was the in-charge when CCD founder and SM Krishna’s son-in-law VG Siddharth committed suicide.

“The people and the public representatives of DK (Dakshina Kannada) have been extremely kind to me and I owe an apology to them for discontinuing the job vested on me midway,” Senthil said in the letter.

Senthil also said he felt the coming days will present extremely difficult challenges to the basic fabric of the nation and that he will be better off outside the IAS to continue work at making life better for all. “It simply cannot be business as usual anymore,” he said.

Senthil, who belongs to Tamil Nadu, is a 2009 batch Indian Administrative Service officer. He was made deputy commissioner of Dakshina Kannada in 2017. He previously served as deputy commissioner in other parts of the state, including Raichur.

Last month, another IAS officer, Kannan Gopinathan, resigned from service because of curfew imposed in occupied Kashmir. Gopinathan held the post of secretary of power, urban development and agriculture departments in the Dadra and Nagar Haveli administration.

In January, IAS officer Shah Faesal from occupied Kashmir had resigned to protest the “unabated” killings in the occupied territory and the marginalisation of Indian Muslims.

BENGALURU: Heavy rain over the past few weeks has resulted in an immensely happy situation for Karnataka since most of the 13 major reservoirs, including KRS and Kabini across Cauvery — Bengaluru is dependent on them for drinking water — are full. Experts from the Karnataka State Natural Disaster Monitoring Centre(KSNDMC) said the reservoirs generally fill to the brim by August-end. This year, they are full two months in advance. KSNDMC managing director GS Srinivas Reddy said that except for Supa (Uttara Kannada district) and Ghataprabha (Belagavi district) dams, all others are just a few feet fromattaining their maximum water levels. All major reservoirs in Karnataka are full following heavy rain in the past few weeks. “That the water level in so many dams is near the brim is a record of sorts in 15 years,” Reddy said. “It is a good sign for agriculture and drinking water needs of the state,” he added. Reddy said Bengaluru will have no drinking water woes this year as all dams in the Cauvery river basin are near-full. “While Kabini is full, KRS as on July 7 was 16 ft away from the full reservoir level of 124ft,” he said. “With two other dams in the Cauvery catchment — Harangi and Hemavathi — also full, we expect the KRS dam to reach its full capacity soon. Last year, water level in KRS dam hadn’t touched 100ft even in August.” Officials at KSNDMC said with copious rain in Maharashtra, the inflow into Almatti dam has been impressive and it is just 24ft away from being filled. “Only dams along Malaprabha and Ghataprabha rivers will take more time to fill,” said an official. Thunderstorms in B’luru likely today A day after heavy rain claimed three lives in the coastal districts, a pregnant woman was rescued from her flooded house in Katapady of Udupi district on Sunday. District authorities issued alerts as rain is expected to continue in coastal districts for the next two days. Officials said thunderstorms are likely to hit Bengaluru Urban district starting Monday. Expect rain in city from today While the coast, Malnad and parts of North Karnataka have been soaked in heavy rain, places in southinterior Karnataka, including Bengaluru region, have remained relatively dry. But not for long, according to the weatherman. Thunderstorms are likely to hit Bengaluru Urban district starting Monday and light to moderate spells of rain with winds reaching 32kmph or more have been forecast for the city. The city was overcast for most part of Sunday and moderate showers were reported from several parts later in the day. “Bengaluru receives heavy showers in August, September and October,” said a Met department official https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bengaluru/most-karnataka-dams-full-2-months-early/articleshowprint/64913037.cms ************************************************************************************************************************************* July is the one to watch for.... The complexities of the monsoon, which runs the State and the country’s economy, depend not only on how much it rains, but also when it rains. Much of the success in filling reservoirs in the Cauvery basin depends on the rains in July. A failure here may lead to widespread distress even if the rainfall picks up later, shows the Karnataka Natural Disaster Monitoring Centre’s statistical analysis of the 44 years of data of inflows and rainfall at localised gauges. KSNDMC looked into the possible scenarios of monsoon failures in various months and their impact on storage capacities of the Cauvery reservoirs. Assuming normal rainfall in the upper catchment areas of Hassan, Chikkamagaluru and Kodagu districts in Karnataka and Wayanad district in Kerala, the average inflow during the monsoon to the river is 157 tmcft. For July failure, they narrowed down nine years where rainfall in July has been deficient, but the overall monsoon season had been normal. In seven out of nine cases, inflows into reservoirs were ultimately lower despite strong rainfall in other months that made up for weak rainfall in July. In 2017, for example, the State saw record rainfall in many places. In July, rainfall was 43% deficient, while the overall monsoon season was just 7% deficient (considered ‘normal’ monsoon), particularly as the rains picked up after August. However, the inflow was lower by more than 37 tmcft. Using statistical regression models, they estimated that for every 4mm reduction in rainfall in July in the upper catchment areas, nearly 1.1 tmcft of inflow reduces in the key reservoirs along the Cauvery. While this understanding may be just in the preliminary stages, G.S. Srinivasa Reddy, Director, KSNDMC, says it adds to the integrated approach into understanding Karnataka’s inflows and potential release to Tamil Nadu. “This is an important consideration on forecasting and to understand, in a holistic manner, how the monsoon will play out. Currently, the Supreme Court verdict dictates Karnataka should release a quantum of water monthly to Tamil Nadu. However, rainfall in each month is important, as well as where it rains,” he said. https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-karnataka/july-is-the-one-to-watch-for/article24368229.ece ************************************************************************************************************************************* Karnataka: Monsoon blues... Rainfall exceeding normal levels has caused mishaps in Coastal and Malnad regions, but in Raichur, there is a rain deficit so far Several parts of the state, especially Udupi, Chikkamgaluru and Kodagu, have been affected by heavy rains. In Katpady in Udupi, a family was forced to carry a stretcher with dead body while wading through knee-deep water. Sheshi Poojarthi (98), a resident of Kambalabetta, died on Saturday night and since the area has been flooded, her family members decided to carry the stretcher amidst water surrounding the house above knee level, by attaching tubes to it for about 500-600 mt, to cremate the body. Officials said they would have made arrangements if the family had informed them about the death. Meanwhile, in the wake of continuous and heavy rains, two teams of the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) have been predeployed in Mangaluru and Udupi districts to assist district administration in rescue and relief in case of emergency. NDRF has set up VHF, HF and VSAT communication in Kaup of Udupi . In Mangaluru, Sushanth (20) son of Nagesh from Ambedkar Nagar, Vamanjoor, is feared drowned in the Phalguni river in Kavoor PS limits. A search operation is in progress. Pilgrims from Bengaluru had a lucky escape in Dharmasthala. A car was damaged after a tree fall on it near the KSRTC bus stand on Sunday morning. Resident from JP Nagar, Anil, and three others were travelling to Dharmasthala and the tree fell on the car around 5 am. In Kodagu, vehicular movement on the Titmati bridge has been affected after a landslide. Since the land slide was reported on an old bridge, vehicle movement was diverted to the new bridge. It is now learnt that the authorities were forced to prohibit movement on the new bridge temporarily because of the land slide. Landslide was also reported at about four places of Mullayanagiri in Chikkamagaluru. A few boulders have fallen on the road, making travel dangerous. Rivers across the State are reaching danger mark because of continuous rains. In view of the rains, Dakshina Kannada DC S Sasikanth Senthil has declared holiday to all schools and PU Colleges in the district on Monday. Only light rain in city Bengalureans, need not be worried till July 12 as the city is likely to receive only light rainfall. Dr Srinivas Reddy, Director, Karnataka State Natural Disaster Management Centre told Bangalore Mirror that coastal and Malnad regions will continue to receive moderate to heavy rainfall till July 12 and interior parts will receive scattered and moderate rainfall. Excess rainfall The state has received 19 per cent excess rainfall till July 6 in the current monsoon. According to statistics obtained from Karnataka State Natural Disaster Management Centre (KSNDMC), the state has received 452 mm rainfall as against the normal rainfall of 379 mm by July 6. The highs and lows Hassan has received 91 per cent more rainfall than is the normal by the end of June. Chikkamagaluru and Chitradurga districts have received an excess rainfall of 75 per cent and 65 per cent. Raichur district has received the lowest rainfall in the state with 100 mm rainfall as against the normal of 148 mm. https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/news/state/karnataka-monsoon-blues/rain/articleshow/64909850.cms Most Karnataka dams full, 2 months early
