										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Karnataka government had initially announced 14 days ‘close down’ from April 27, but subsequently imposed a complete lockdown from May 10 to May 24, as the COVID-19 cases continued to spike. Citing lockdown yielding results and experts advice, it was further extended till June 7 and then again till June 14.</p>
<p>Revenue Minister R Ashoka on Wednesday indicated that the state may go for unlocking in four to five phases after June 14, as the COVID-19 induced lockdown comes to an end.</p>
<p>&#8220;Keeping the number of deaths and new cases in mind and aimed at bringing down the COVID infections further, lockdown will not be relaxed at one go. Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai, Health Minister K Sudhakar and I have held detailed discussions with the Chief Minister in this regard,&#8221; Ashoka said.</p>
<p>Speaking to reporters,  he said lockdown will be relaxed in phases, most probably it may be done in four to five phases.</p>
<p>First will be timings, now the relaxation (for shopping) that is there between 6 to 10 am, it may get extended further. Also those who go for a walk at parks may get some relief. All this is subjected to a final decision by the Chief Minister. Lockdown will not be relaxed at one go,&#8221; he added.</p>
<p>Karnataka on Tuesday reported less than 10,000 new cases of COVID-19 and 179 fatalities, taking the total number of infections to 27,17,289 and the death toll to 32,099.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Karnataka government on Monday decided to inform the Supreme Court that it favoured increasing the cap on reservation beyond the 50% ceiling, PTI reported. The state’s decision was in response to the court’s query on the restructuring of quotas.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In a landmark judgement in 1992, the Supreme Court had capped reservation at 50%. However, while hearing a petition related to reservation for Marathas in education and jobs, the Supreme Court issued a notice to all states, seeking their response on whether quota should be allowed beyond the limit. The court said that it will examine whether the 50% rule needs to be reconsidered..The Karnataka government’s decision was taken in a Cabinet meeting presided by Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa, sources in the state Secretariat told The Hindu. Earlier, Karnataka’s Law and Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai had said in the Legislative Assembly that it was “inevitable” to go beyond the 50% cap in order to meet the demands of various castes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Yediyurappa-led government is likely to cite constitutional amendments, changes in related laws by states and changing social dynamics, in its arguments to the Supreme Court, Karnataka at present provides 15% reservation for Scheduled Castes, 3% for Scheduled Tribes and 32% for the Other Backward Classes (OBC), which add up to 50%.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Dominant communities like the Panchamasali, a sub sect of Lingayats, Vokkaligas, Valmikis and Kurubas have sought a higher quota and a change in category among other requests, according to the Hindustan Times. The SCs have demanded an increase in their quota from 15% to 17% and the STs from 3% to 7.5%,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Five other states – Maharashtra</p>
