The associated jewels too were handed over to temple authorities.

New website of Cauvery Heart Hospital launched
Mysore/Mysuru: “Walk at least 1,500 steps daily and get examined for heart and cancer regularly.” This was a piece of advise given to medical practitioners by
Dr. C.N. Manjunath, Cardiologist and Director, Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research, Bengaluru.
Speaking after launching a new website of Cauvery Heart and Multi-Speciality Hospital on Bannur Road here on Saturday, he said doctors who work under pressure must give attention to their health too. “It was no longer an entertainment for those who were in medicine field as they have to always work under stress. If a doctor is treating patient, at least five to ten telephone calls will come from patient’s side asking whether he/she will be alright or not, and request for good treatment. Under all these conditions, doctors have to treat patients. I will advise you to get checked for heart and cancer at least once in year as precaution,” he added.
