The digital boards will be installed at Ambedkar (Jyothi) Circle and A B Shetty Circle. Instead of cloth banner and flexes, digital boards will attract the attention of the onlookers. If if the board attract the attention of at least 5% motorists at Ambedkar Circle and A B Shetty Circle, then it will be successful, he said.

The DC said that necessary machines have been procured for initiating plasma therapy at Wenlock Hospital. A proposal was sent to the ICMR through state government seeking approval to provide plasma treatment. If we fail to get approval, then machines will be used for other purposes, he added.
