Panchamasali Community Demands BJP Revoke Yatnal’s Suspension by April 10
The suspension of Basanagouda Patil R. Yatnal from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has sparked controversy, with Sri Basava Jaya Mrutyunjay Swami, the seer of Kudalasangama Panchamasali Mutt, alleging it as a conspiracy orchestrated by BJP State president B.Y. Vijayendra and his father, former Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa. Speaking in Belagavi on Thursday, the seer criticized Yediyurappa for failing to fulfill his promises to the Panchamasali community, particularly regarding their re-categorization from 3B to 2A in the backward classes list. The Panchamasali community, a significant subgroup among Lingayats, has historically influenced elections since J.H. Patel’s tenure as Chief Minister. Community leaders have set a deadline of April 10 for the BJP to revoke Yatnal’s suspension, threatening a protest in Belagavi on April 13 if their demand is unmet. Meanwhile, BJP leaders like B. Sriramulu and Ramesh Jarkiholi have expressed concerns over the expulsion, with Jarkiholi labeling it as ‘unfortunate’ but likely to be reversed soon.
Karnataka Information Commissioner Arrested for Accepting Bribe
Ravindra Gurunath Dhakappa, the State Information Commissioner posted at the Kalaburagi Bench of the Karnataka Information Commission, was arrested by the Lokayukta Police on Thursday, April 25, 2024, for accepting a bribe of ₹1 lakh through an online transfer. The bribe was allegedly taken to deliver a favourable order to an applicant. Superintendent of Police (Lokayukta) B.K. Umesh confirmed the arrest, stating that the accused had negotiated a bribe of ₹3 lakh with the applicant over the phone. The Lokayukta Police acted on a complaint filed by Saibanna Sasi Benakanahalli, editor of Kalaburagi Kalarava monthly, who alleged that Dhakappa demanded ₹3 lakh to remove his name from a blacklist. Benakanahalli had filed 117 petitions under the Right to Information (RTI) Act, which were pending before the Belagavi and Kalaburagi Benches of the State Information Commission. These petitions were dismissed on February 12, 2025, and Benakanahalli was fined ₹1,000 per application. The Lokayukta Police, led by Deputy Superintendent of Police Geetha Benal, laid a trap and caught Dhakappa red-handed.
Assam CM Clarifies Non-Recognition of News Portal Workers as Journalists
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, on March 27, 2025, clarified that Dilwar Hussain Mozumder, the arrested chief reporter of news portal The CrossCurrent, is not recognized as a journalist by the State government. Sarma cited police reports stating Mozumder demanded a significant loan from the Assam Cooperative Apex Bank in Guwahati and allegedly mistreated a man from a Scheduled Tribe (ST) community. The Chief Minister emphasized that Mozumder, who owns multiple businesses and works part-time at the portal, was arrested for reasons unrelated to journalism. Sarma reiterated that the State government only recognizes individuals working in electronic and print media as journalists, excluding those in news portals. Mozumder, who was granted bail on March 26, 2025, faces additional charges in other cases. The arrest occurred while he was covering a protest by the Jatiya Yuva Shakti, the youth wing of the Assam Jatiya Parishad, against alleged financial irregularities in the bank. The Press Club of India noted that Mozumder was detained after approaching the bank’s managing director for an interview. The Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021, define news portals as publishers of news content, but the State government has not yet extended recognition to such entities.
Karnatak University Guest Lecturers Continue Protest for Higher Remuneration
The indefinite protest by assistant and guest lecturers of Karnatak University and its constituent colleges entered its fourth day on Thursday, March 28, 2024.

Additionally, they seek the continuation of their services for all 12 months with remuneration and the reinstatement of the earlier system exempting teachers with over three years of experience from annual interviews. The protest, which began on March 24, has seen participation from retired teacher and activist Mohan Siddhanti, activist Laxman Bakkai, and Sharanu Mushtigeri, President of the Karnatak University Assistant/Guest Lecturers Association. Despite efforts by the university management, including Acting Vice-Chancellor Jayashree S., to persuade the protestors to withdraw, the lecturers remain resolute in continuing their agitation until their demands are met. During the protest, Mahadev Arera, the general secretary of the association, experienced chest pain and was shifted to the District Hospital.

Chandrababu Naidu, while addressing the Muslim community at the State government-hosted Iftar in Vijayawada, reaffirmed his government's commitment to protecting waqf properties. He highlighted that the TDP government had safeguarded waqf properties in the unified Andhra Pradesh and assured continued efforts under the NDA rule.

BJP leader B. Gopalakrishnan publicly apologized to CPI(M) leader P. K. Sreemathi for making unsubstantiated allegations against her during her tenure as the State Health Minister of Kerala. The allegations, made during a TV channel discussion, accused Ms. Sreemathi of extending undue favors to her son, Sudhir Nambiar, in connection with the purchase of medicines for the government. Mr. Gopalakrishnan admitted that he had no evidence to support his claims. The apology was tendered in Kochi on Thursday following a mediation process initiated to settle the matter outside the court. Earlier, Mr. Gopalakrishnan had apologized in a Kannur court, but Ms. Sreemathi was dissatisfied with the manner of the apology. He later approached the Kerala High Court to quash the proceedings against him. Ms. Sreemathi stated that the baseless allegations had caused significant mental stress and tarnished her reputation, and she pursued legal action to undo the damage caused by the defamatory claims.
Kochi Corporation Budget 2025–26 Approved Amid Opposition Protests
The Kochi Corporation Budget for the fiscal year 2025–26 was approved on March 27, 2025, despite a boycott and walkout by the Opposition United Democratic Front (UDF). The UDF protested over the alleged omission of ₹11 crore received as Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds from the Budget documents. Deputy Mayor K.A. Ansiya presented the Budget, but the UDF demanded her response instead of Mayor M. Anilkumar, leading to their walkout. The Mayor later accused the Opposition of deliberately disrupting the council proceedings and attempting to sabotage development projects. The Budget includes provisions for health insurance, uniforms, and vehicles for Haritha Karma Sena members, with plans to extend these benefits to autorickshaw operators and the wider working class. Additionally, health cards, medical camps, and treatment schemes were proposed for waste collection workers, headload workers, anganwadi workers, ASHA workers, and Kudumbashree members. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) criticized the Mayor for leaving the council hall without a formal vote on the Budget discussion, claiming it violated procedural rules.

Kashappanavar stated that the BJP leadership’s decision to suspend Yatnal was justified, citing Yatnal’s indiscipline and severe criticism of party leaders. He also criticized the Panchamasali Peetha seer, Sri Basava Jaya Jayamruthyunjaya Swami, for making political decisions without consulting community leaders, including himself. Kashappanavar emphasized that the seer should refrain from giving political advice and that no MLA would resign based on the seer’s directives.
Punjab Police Intensifies Anti-Drug Campaign, Targets High-Level Networks
On March 27, 2025, Punjab Police Director General Gaurav Yadav announced a significant reduction in street-level drug supply due to an intensified crackdown on narcotics trade in the state. The police have shifted their focus to dismantling high-level drug networks by targeting key suppliers and kingpins, referred to as the 'big fish'. Since the launch of the anti-drug campaign on March 1, 2025, Punjab Police has arrested 4,142 drug smugglers, registered 2,384 FIRs, and seized 146.3 kg of heroin, 85.3 kg of opium, 19.95 quintals of poppy husk, 7.69 lakh intoxicant tablets-capsules, and ₹5.83 crores in drug money. Inspired by the success of Village Defence Committees (VDCs) in rural areas, the police are now forming 'Mohalla Committees' in urban areas to empower local communities in combating the drug menace collectively.
Proposal to Merge Rural Police Stations into Bengaluru City Police Commissionerate
A proposal is under consideration to merge three rural police stations—Kumbalgodu in Ramanagara district, Avalahalli, and Hebbagodi in Bengaluru Rural district—into the Bengaluru City Police Commissionerate. This move is driven by the urbanisation of these areas and the shift in the nature of crime, which now includes offences like robbery, mobile snatchings, ATM thefts, and cyber crimes. Additionally, urbanised parts of Madanayakanahalli and Vishwanathapura police station limits are proposed to be merged with adjoining city police stations. This follows the recent inclusion of Talaghattapura and Byadarahalli police stations into the city. The State Budget has also announced an increase in the number of police divisions in Bengaluru from eight to eleven. City Police Commissioner B. Dayananda stated that these proposals are likely to be accepted by the government. Meanwhile, there is lobbying to include more police stations, such as Vijayapura, Rajanukunte, Bannerghatta, Jigani, Surya City, and Sarjapura, into the City Police Commissionerate, as these areas have also urbanised significantly.

Historic Aluva-Munnar Road Reemerges as a Major Issue in Idukki
The Aluva-Munnar Road, historically known as the Royal Road, has become a significant issue in Idukki district. This road, which was washed away during the 1924 floods, connects Ernakulam and Munnar and has been a subject of public demand for reopening. A joint action council organized a protest march on the road, led by Idukki MP Dean Kuriakose, Kothamangalam MLA Antony John, and former Kothamangalam bishop Mar George Punnakkottil. The Forest Department filed a case against the bishop and participants, leading to further protests by the Kothamangalam and Idukki dioceses. Fr. Jose Kulathur, Chancellor of the Kothamangalam diocese, accused the Forest Department of illegally encroaching on the PWD-owned road. Historically, the road was developed in the early 20th century to facilitate tea exports from Munnar to Kochi. Despite being washed away in 1924, it remains a point of contention due to its shorter route compared to the current Neryamangalam road. Forest Minister A.K. Saseendran stated in the Assembly that reopening the road would require passing through 26 km of deep forest, potentially increasing human-wildlife conflicts. Bishop Mar George Madathikandathil criticized the Forest Department for its stance, vowing to continue the protest.

Amazon India Launches Yamare Lake Restoration Project to Enhance Water Security
Amazon India, in collaboration with the local environmental organization SayTrees, has initiated a restoration project at Yamare Lake near Sarjapur Road. The project aims to rejuvenate the lake, which has suffered significant degradation due to its past use as a waste disposal site. The restoration efforts are expected to increase the lake's water volume from less than one acre to approximately 21 acres, transforming it into a thriving ecosystem. This initiative is part of Amazon's broader goal to enhance water availability, groundwater infiltration, and long-term water security in the region. Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar emphasized the importance of corporate stewardship in addressing environmental challenges, particularly in light of Karnataka's severe drought last year, which has heightened concerns over Bengaluru's water security. The project is projected to replenish over 270 liters of water annually, benefiting the local community and aligning with Amazon's commitment to return more water to Indian communities than it uses by 2027.

Karnataka High Court Limits Pension Deduction to 50% for Retired Bank Employee
The Karnataka High Court has criticized a public sector bank for deducting the entire monthly pension of a retired employee to recover a defaulted loan. The court ruled that such an action violates Article 21 of the Indian Constitution, which guarantees the right to life and personal liberty. The petitioner, 70-year-old Murugan O.K., a retired Canara Bank employee from Kerala, had taken two housing loans during his service and was a guarantor for his daughter’s educational loan. After retiring in 2014, he was allowed to repay the remaining loan through EMIs. However, due to missed payments, the bank began deducting his entire pension from July 2024, leaving him with no income. The court noted that bank regulations do not permit the recovery of the entire pension unless the employee is convicted of serious crimes. It emphasized that pension is a deferred payment for services rendered and is essential for the economic security of retirees. The court allowed the bank to deduct only 50% of the pension, in line with the norm for active employees, and permitted the bank to use other legal measures to recover the loan.

Karnataka's 2024 Tiger Census Reports 393 Tigers in Five Reserves
The Karnataka Forest Department has released the 2024 Phase IV monitoring report, revealing the presence of 393 tigers in the state's five tiger reserves: Bandipur, Nagarahole, Bhadra, Biligiri Ranganathaswamy Temple (BRT), and Kali (Dandeli-Amshi). This marks a slight decline from previous years, with 408 tigers in 2023, 417 in 2022, and 472 in 2018. The survey, conducted from November 2023 to February 2024, utilized 2,160 camera traps, capturing 6.1 million wildlife images. AI-based software was employed to identify individual tigers using their unique stripe patterns. The report, titled 'Annual Report on Status of Tigers, Prey, and other Mammals-Karnataka 2024,' was released by Karnataka's Minister for Forests, Environment, and Ecology, Eshwar B. Khandre. Officials attributed the fluctuation in tiger numbers to dispersal movements, as tigers have been observed moving across landscapes and establishing territories in adjoining habitats. The All India Tiger Estimation (AITE) 2022, which covers a broader landscape, estimated Karnataka's tiger population at 563, indicating a stable overall population. The next AITE exercise in 2026 is expected to provide further clarity on tiger distribution.

Kodava Hockey Festival Celebrates 25 Years with Guinness World Record and Women’s Tournament
The Kodava Hockey Festival, celebrating its 25th anniversary, is set to take place from March 28 to April 27, 2024, across three grounds in Madikeri, Kodagu district, Karnataka. Originally conceptualized in 1997 by Pandanda Kuttappa, a former State Bank of India employee and hockey referee, the festival aims to unite the Kodava community through the sport of hockey. Kodagu, often referred to as the cradle of Indian hockey, has produced over 50 national players, including seven Olympians. The festival, which began modestly with 60 participating families, has grown significantly over the years, earning a place in the Limca Book of Records and, in 2024, achieving a Guinness World Record for the largest field hockey tournament with 360 teams. This year’s event, hosted by the Muddanda family, includes special celebrations such as a women’s tournament, quiz contests, a cyclothon, and rifle shooting. The festival torch, akin to the Olympic torch, will be carried to ancestral houses of former host families. Beyond sports, the festival serves as a cultural reunion, fostering community bonding, trade discussions, and matrimonial alliances. Despite its global recognition, the event faces challenges due to inadequate infrastructure, prompting calls for enhanced government support to develop permanent hockey facilities.
