MYSURU: More than 1,000 cusecs of Cauvery water wastefully flowed into the river for more than a day after a sluice gate suddenly opened at the Krishnaraja Sagar Reservoir on Monday night. Farmers alleged that officials failed to attend to the crisis immediately and did not close the gate to save precious water. Many wanted to know whether the fifth crest gate opened on its own due to a technical fault or because of the callousness of employees assigned to monitor the gauge and operations of sluice gates. They asked as to why the officials did not act in time to control the damage. A few officers suspect that the gate might have opened because of the motor switch reversing or the irrigation department staff pressing the gate switch. Sources said officials struggled for hours to close the crest gate on Monday night as the reservoir level is around 106 ft as against the maximum of 124.8 ft. Superintendent Engineer Raghuram said the gate opened because of a technical snag, and a report has been sought to know how and who opened the gate. He said that around 750-1,000 cusecs of water flowed into the river. This was in addition to the irrigation department discharging 1,750 cusecs of water every day into the river. The farmers need not worry as the gate has been closed, he said. Farmers alleged that irrigation department officials discharged water to Tamil Nadu for the last three days and failed to give a proper reason, citing technical issues.
BENGALURU: The Karnataka forest department is collating data for the State government, which is keen to file a counter-affidavit in the Supreme Court on alternative solutions against the ban on movement of vehicles during night hours through Bandipur Tiger Reserve (BTR) on National Highway-212 (also called NH-766). We dont want the ban order issued by Supreme Court to be revoked. There is a lot of pressure from the government to lift it or find alternative solutions. One of the alternatives we are thinking of is whether the number of vehicles plying through the reserve could be increased, department sources told TNIE. As per the Supreme Court and Karnataka High Court orders, only four vehicles from Karnataka and Kerala are permitted to ply through NH-766 from 9 pm to 6 am. This is apart from emergency vehicles. The exercise of collating data started after Forests Minister Eshwar B Khandre held a meeting with officials to discuss alternatives to address the night traffic ban. The meeting was called following increasing pressure from Wayanad Member of Parliament Priyanka Gandhi Vadra to lift the ban, the source said. According to data, there have been 29 recorded roadkills on roads cutting through BTR from 2021-24. The animals include deer, wild boar, civet cat, tiger and elephant. Most deaths occurred during the evening and early morning hours, when vehicles speed through, aiming to cross the gates before they are closed or soon after they open. There are fewer incidents of overspeeding and collision with animals during the daytime, as animals usually tend to avoid crossing roads. If night traffic ban is lifted or the number of vehicles increases, the number of animals dying in road accidents will rise, said a forest official, not wanting to be named. Officials said many incidents are also reported outside forest fringes, near villages. Despite putting up speed breakers, accidents are on the rise. We are also using technology and speed meters to track the speed of vehicles, but a lot more needs to be done, the official added. The SC had issued orders banning the movement of vehicles from 9pm to 6am on the 24.7-km stretch of NH-766 in 2019. Following suggestions of the SC and HC, the Karnataka government developed NH-275 (State Highway-90) from Mysuru to Wayanad for non-stop movement of vehicles. This road connects Hunsur, Gonikoppa, Kutta, Sulthan Bathery and Moolehole to Wayanad, and is 35km longer than NH-766.

Mind and Matter: NGO in Bengaluru creates mental health awareness through unique community sessions
BENGALURU: Every alternate Sunday morning, a group of individuals gather in the tranquil embrace of Cubbon Park, Bengaluru, for a unique mental health session called Sundays for Mental Health, organised by a Kodagu-based NGO Mind and Matter. As the gentle breeze sets the stage, participants attend the event not just to meet, but to connect. Through a variety of carefully curated games, activities, paintings, etc, the NGO assist the participants to understand areas of different mental health such as communication, empathy, inter-personal relationships and more. In case someone comes up to them with a serious problem, the NGO refers it to mental health professionals. Venkatesh, a chartered accountant who attended the event on Sunday, said, Theres unmistakable warmth here. It helped me a lot. The session has given me a chance to look into my soul. It helped me understand myself much better. Another participant, Somnath, said, This is my second campaign with Mind and Matters, and I understood how to look at the same situation from a different perspective. In a world where problems related to mental health often take a backseat, Mind and Matter stands as a beacon of hope, offering support to individuals in need. The NGO has stepped into the fray with free programmes which it organises in Bengaluru, Mysuru and Kodagu, and plans to expand to cities like Chennai, Delhi and Mumbai as well. It aims to break the stigma around mental health with a short yet moderate plan under expert guidance, a holistic approach and compassionate care. Trustee and founder of Mind and Matter Deepika Appaiah said, We work with schools, colleges, parents and teachers. Our initiative has impacted about 13,000 children and over 700 parents and teachers. Our organisation is run by volunteers, so we invite people to join us and provide them training from the Department of Psychiatric Social Work, Nimhans, in Bengaluru. As of now, we have 150 volunteers. From housewives to working professionals, the numbers joining the initiative are only growing. Registered in 2021, Mind and Matter has collaborated with Nimhans and is witnessing a spike in enrolment. Mental health programme in schools in Mysuru Dr Aravind Raj, Department of Psychiatric Social Work of Nimhans, and one of the pioneers of the initiative, said, Mental health professionals are often confined to hospitals, where stigma deters people from seeking help. It is one of the reasons to take mental health initiatives outside hospitals. He stressed the need for more awareness campaigns in society. Mental health includes different methods of handling situations: understanding ones potential, dealing with stress in a positive way, being productive and contributing to society. Our motto is to promote all these among people, so their vulnerability to developing mental disorders comes down, he said. According to several reports, it has been identified that rural residents have inadequate mental health knowledge, tied to entrenched stigma and low literacy. In urban areas, people are grappling with work stress, especially Bengalurus techies. Dr Raj said Mind and Matter wants to penetrate that area and make them recognise the importance of mental well-being. We also train Anganwadi workers and teachers and provide care in rural areas, he added. Mental illness affects 8% of population According to the 20152016 National Mental Health Survey (NMHS), conducted by Nimhans and considered one of the best benchmarks, 8 per cent of Karnatakas population, which is 1 out of 12 people, suffers from mental illnesses and requires care. Dr Raj and Appaiah say this is primarily because of a lack of awareness. The kind of transformation I have witnessed in people drives me to continue this work. Over time, I understood after attending the programmes we organise, that people feel it is okay to ask for help, she noted. If the initiative had never worked, people wouldnt come back to us. More importantly, there is no monetary benefit involved, which means it has personally impacted me, Appaiah said, a smile on her face. I believe my family is my biggest support, and thank my entire team for their contribution. While the NGO is run for a noble cause, Appaiah says that sometimes, it is difficult to continue the initiative on such a large scale if there isnt enough financial support. Appaiah, who also runs a caf in Coorg, said it provides support. We dont go out to ask for donations. People who have worked with us donate money. The caf is an extension of whatever we do here. However, now we are trying to collect funds from corporates or through CSR activities, she said. Dr Raj also stressed that resource management is important.

BJP holds black flag stir, calls JAC meeting on delimitation theatrics
CHENNAI: Tamil Nadu BJP president K Annamalai on Saturday accused Chief Minister M K Stalin of forgoing the states interests for political gains by deliberately ignoring inter-state disputes with Kerala and Karnataka and hosting them for a discussion on a topic (delimitation) which has no rational basis. With the CM chairing the first Joint Action Committee (JAC) meeting on Saturday to discuss the issues in the impending delimitation exercise, BJP leaders and cadres held a black flag protest across the state. Speaking outside his residence, Annamalai reiterated that the state will not lose the 7.17% representation (parliamentary seats) it currently holds and that such political theatrics was organised by the DMK to divert public attention from far more pressing issues plaguing the state. The Mullaiperiyar issue is an ongoing one wherein the current communist government in Kerala does not even allow Tamil Nadu engineers to visit and repair the baby dam. If the Shenbagavalli dam issue is rectified, lakhs of agricultural lands in Tenkasi can be irrigated, Annamalai said. Without discussing Tamil Nadus issues, Stalin has invited the Kerala CM (Pinarayi Vijayan) to discuss an artificial issue, which has no rational basis, instead, he added. Mekedatu is a big issue. Although the centre has said that nobody can construct a dam without the permission of the lower riparian states, Karnataka Deputy CM D K Shivakumar has gone ahead aggressively saying that he does not need Tamil Nadus permission to build a dam. They (TN) have invited him, Annamalai said, adding that Shivakumars presence at the meeting was part of his plans in plotting the downfall of Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah. He wants to portray himself to be a pan-India leader and that Siddaramaiah was a regional leader, only limited to Mysuru and Bengaluru (parts of Karnataka), he claimed. Safety panel examines Mullaiperiyar Dam Theni: A visual examination of the Mullaiperiyar Dam has been completed, and there are other studies pending to examine the dams strength, National Dam Safety Authority Chairman Anil Jain said in Thekkady on Saturday. A new seven-member supervisory committee led by Anil Jain inspected the Mullaiperiyar Dam, baby dam, shutter areas, and also some of the safety aspects and the maintenance. The committee members then held discussions with the engineers from both states at the Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Nature Education and Research in Thekkady. Replying to a question on the safety of the Mullaiperiyar Dam, Anil Jain said, We examined the dam visually. Currently, the water level is very low. There are other studies to examine the dam. A supervisory committee conducted a site visit. A discussion was also held as per the terms of reference given by the Ministry of Jal Shakthi.
Kannada activists call for statewide bandh evokes lukewarm response
BENGALURU: Kannada Okkuta leader and activist Vatal Nagarajs call for Karnataka bandh against the attack on a state-run bus conductor in Belagavi last month for not speaking Marathi received a lukewarm response across the state, including Bengaluru. Kannada activists demanded that the state government issue an order banning Maharashtra Ekikaran Samiti (MES) in Belagavi to protect the interests of Kannadigas. While the bandh call received a mixed response in Mysuru, it failed to evoke any significant response in districts such as Belagavi, Kolar, Davangere, Chitradurga and Shivamogga. Vatal Nagaraj, who alsoleads Kannada Chalavali Vatal Paksha, claimed that Saturdays bandh was successful in Bengaluru despite attempts by the city police to thwart the efforts of various Kannada organisations from going ahead with it. As it was the fourth Saturday of the month, government offices, banks and private companies remained closed. The bandh did not affect the general public. The police denied permission for rallies and processions in the city. It was business as usual in the city. City buses, cabs and autorickshawsoperated as usual. Malls, hotels and other business establishments remained open. Security was tightened at Majestic, Mysuru Bank Circle, Town Hall and KR Puram in Bengaluru and in some sensitive places in the state. Earlier in the day, the police took activists trying to stage protests in thecity to Freedom Park. Home Minister G Parameshwara had warned of strict action against those trying to disrupt peace and harmony. No untoward incident was reported from any part of the city. Security was tightened. Those trying to organise protests were taken to Freedom Park, B Dayananada, Bengaluru City Police Commissioner, said. Vatal Nagaraj and other activists went to Town Hall to take out a procession to Freedom Park. However, the police detained Nagaraj.

Cauvery Aarti: Act of devotion, awareness
BENGALURU: Bengaluru hosted its first-ever Cauvery Aarti at Sankey Tank on Friday, drawing inspiration from Varanasis Ganga Aarti. Organised by the Bengaluru Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB), the event aimed to honour the Cauvery, Karnatakas primary water source. The event featured a procession led by priests from Varanasi, traditional rituals, a laser show, and live orchestral music. More than 10,000 attendees participated, with sacred water from Bhagamandala, the rivers origin, distributed as theertha. BWSSB Chairman Ram Prasath Manohar called the initiative historic and announced plans to make Cauvery Aarti an annual event to promote devotion, environmental awareness, and cultural celebration. He also mentioned that Sankey Tank was chosen for its historical and religious significance, being linked to the Vrishabhavathi River, a tributary of the Cauvery. The event also marked the launch of the World Water Pledge campaign, emphasising the importance of water conservation. Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar led the water conservation pledge ceremony during which thousands participated in the oath-taking, marking a record turnout for a conservation initiative. Addressing the gathering, DCM Shivakumar highlighted the significance of water in daily life. Water is the foundation of civilisation, faith, and existence. This morning, we travelled to Talacauvery, performed Cauvery pooja, and brought the sacred water to Sankey Tank for this event, he said. Shivakumar stressed the urgent need for responsible water management, saying, When drought strikes and wells run dry, we realise the value of water. Bengaluru has implemented Cauvery Phase 5 project, supplying water to 110 villages. Despite challenges, we are committed to ensuring the city does not face a crisis this year. Shivakumar also announced plans to extend Cauvery Aarti to the KRS reservoir in Mysuru during Dasara celebrations, stating that a committee has been formed to oversee the initiative. We have successfully introduced Cauvery Aarti in Bengaluru, and we aim to expand this sacred ritual to KRS, making it a key part of our cultural heritage, he said.

The Manjeri Additional District and Session's Court-1 , on Thursday found three accused guilty in the abduction and murder of Mysuru-based 60-year-old traditional healer Shaba Sheriff.
MALAPPURAM: The Manjeri Additional District Court on Monday convicted three men for the murder of Mysuru-based traditional healer Shaba Sherif. The case is one of the rare instances in Kerala where a murder conviction was secured without the recovery of the victims body. The court pronounced the three accused persons guilty of culpable homicide. The three are, first accused, Shaibin Ashraf (42) of Kaipenchery in Nilambur, second accused, Ponnakkaran Shihabudheen (36) of Sultan Bathery, and the sixth accused, Naduthodika Nishad (41) of Nilambur. The court will pronounce their sentence on Saturday. Shaba Sherif was killed in October 2020 after being held captive for over a year. The group dismembered his body and dumped the remains in the Chaliyar River near Edavanna. Nine other accused in the case were acquitted. The police had initially named 15 individuals in the case. Among them, Fasil died in Goa, while one suspect remains at large. The prosecution also proved charges of conspiracy and destruction of evidence. The prosecution was able to secure conviction despite being not able to recover the victims body. A video showing Shaba standing with his legs shackled in a room inside Shaibins house, released by Thangalakath Noushad (41) of Sultan Bathery, became a key piece of evidence. Noushad later turned approver. Additionally, a strand of Shabas hair recovered from Shaibins car was confirmed through DNA testing. Shaba Sharif murder: Probe team summons retired SI for quizzing Public Prosecutor E M Krishnan Namboothiri commended the police for successfully proving the charges despite the challenges. By finding the trio guilty, the court has sent a strong message that criminals will not go unpunished even if they destroy most of the evidence. The police, under former Malappuram SP Sujith Das and former Nilambur CI Vishnu, put in great effort to investigate the case and ensure justice was served, he said. Malappuram SP R Viswanadh described the verdict as a proud moment for the Kerala Police, stating that they had successfully established the murder in court despite the absence of the victims remains. Shaba, 60, operated a clinic in Mysuru, where he was known for his traditional treatment of haemorrhoids. Shaibin, an industrialist, initially approached him under the pretext of seeking treatment for a patient. However, his true intent was to obtain the secret formula of Shabas medicine and launch a business. Convincing Shaba to travel to Kerala, he imprisoned him in a room at his house in Nilambur when the healer refused to divulge his secret. Over time, Shaba suffered severe physical assaults. In October 2020, Shaibin, in a fit of rage, kicked him in the chest, leading to his death. To cover up the crime, he, along with Shihabudheen, Noushad, and Nishad, dismembered the body and disposed of the parts in the Chaliyar River. The murder remained undetected for over a year and a half. It came to light after a falling-out within the group led Shaibin to file a theft complaint against Shihabudheen, Noushad, and Nishad in April 2022, accusing them of stealing Rs 7 lakh and a laptop. The Nilambur police arrested two of them, while the Thiruvananthapuram police handed over Noushad. During questioning, Noushad confessed to the murder, providing crucial details. His statement led to Shaibins arrest, who later admitted to the crime. Meanwhile, the Mysuru police informed their counterparts in Malappuram that Shabas family had lodged a missing person report on August 2, 2019. Investigators also obtained the video footage of Shaba held captive, which was later confirmed by his family.

Home Minister Dr G Parameshwara defends Karnatakas law & order, says its better than other states
BENGALURU: In response to an adjournment motion moved by opposition members, alleging that law and order had deteriorated in the state and crimes were increasing, Home Minister Dr G Parameshwara defended the crime rate, saying it was lower in Karnataka compared to other states. Relying on crime statistics of Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and other states, Parameshwara also listed out the crimes that took place during the regime of home ministers since 1990. He stated that comparatively, the number was low in Karnataka due to strict measures taken by the Congress government. Citing 27 major law and order situations reported in 2022, the highest in the past five years, Parameshwara said 2022 had also seen the highest number of major communal clashes (29) since 2018. On the attack on Udayagiri police station in Mysuru, he said there were a few police staff at the station when the incident took place, but soon police mobilised forces and contained the situation. There is a population of 4.5 lakh in Udayagiri stations jurisdiction, and there is a proposal to create one more police station, he added. On the Gangavathi incident, where a foreigner was raped and a man was murdered, the minister said several measures were taken to avert such incidents in future. Every year, 7-8 lakh tourists, including foreigners, visit places around Hampi. These foreigners are budget travellers looking for cheap accommodation and food, he said, adding that homestay and resort owners have been asked to compulsorily submit the list of foreigners staying with them to the police. Additional patrol vehicles were deployed at Anegundi, Sanapura, Basapura and surrounding areas, he said. Hitting back at remarks that he was a weak home minister, Parameshwara quipped, Should I go on rounds holding lathi? Opposition members, however, staged a walkout. Tighten Indo-Bangla border Parameshwara said the Union Government must tighten the countrys border with Bangladesh, and the rules to deport illegal immigrants directly should be made simple. Speaking in the Council, the minister admitted that the actual number of illegal migrants could be higher than the official figure. He was responding to BJP MLC PH Pujar, who said over 15,000 illegal Bangladeshis have been residing in Vijayapura district for the last 20 years. Their language varies, and they look different from Indians and still manage to get Aadhaar and ration cards, the MLC said. Parameshwara said that 33 illegal Bangladeshis were found in Vijayapura and deported to Bangladesh. The subject is sensitive. We cannot ask everyone for documents. The Union Government has to take steps in this regard. Our border with Bangladesh should be tightened, similar to the Indo-Pakistan border. Lakhs of them have entered India. Here in Karnataka, they are found in places like Chikkamagaluru, Madikeri, and even in Udupi, he said.
Land acquisition trouble for 52-km Bengaluru Business Corridor-2 project
BENGALURU: The 52-km Bengaluru Business Corridor-2 (earlier Peripheral Ring Road-2) project is facing land acquisition issues from landowners of a major portion along its proposed path. This follows notices issued recently by Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) in connection with their acquisition. BBC-2 requires around 1,400 acres and is encountering opposition for acquiring roughly 250 acres, said a senior official. The project aims to connect Hosur Road to Tumakuru Road via Bannerghatta Road, Kanakapura Road, Mysuru Road and Magadi Road. The origin of the conflict dates back 20 years to two different alignments done by BDA for the then PRR in 2005 and 2006, the official explained. In the alignment planned in 2005, Madavara was to be connected with Magadi Road. The preliminary notification for acquisition too was issued. However, the then chief secretary felt it might cause traffic jams on Tumakuru Road, and wanted the route to be shifted 2-3km away. Hence, the alignment was revised the next year to route it from Madanayakanahalli to Magadi Road, he said. Another change was effected along the route to connect Chikkathoguru to Huskur Road, but this posed no issue. Recently, BDAs land acquisition department issued notices for both the 2005 and 2006 alignments. The problem is, those whose lands were left out of the revised alignment in 2006 had started building houses and other structures in the portion planned for acquisition between Madavara and Magadi Road, which covers 250 acres. They are shocked by fresh notices from BDA and are protesting, stating they have already built their homes, the official said, adding, Many of these are illegal constructions. The preliminary notification issued by BDA in 2005 was not cancelled later, as it would amount to denotification, which will lead to other complications, he explained. Land acquisition officers have just followed the process where notices are issued and if objections are received, they are given weightage. Another official said these officers have blundered and caused confusion by issuing notices for the 2005 alignment also, and should have avoided it after it was revised. It may be recalled that two months ago, nearly 200 landowners stormed BDAs Kengeri office to protest against disconnection of electricity supply to their homes. BDA has asked Bescom to disconnect power supply to houses along the BBC-2 alignment, terming them illegal constructions. Tenders for BBC-1 are yet to be called, as compensation to be awarded is still a bone of contention.

Koppal horror and Karnatakas race to make tourism safe
BENGALURU: Just as the state was grappling with the shocking incident of alleged gang-rape on two women, including an Israeli tourist, and the physical assault on three men, including one from Odisha, who was found dead in a Tungabhadra canal in Koppal, 45 km from Hampi, another incident of molestation of an Israeli woman tourist came to light. These incidents have raised concerns about safety for domestic and international tourists. They have triggered a debate among stakeholders on multiple issues over timings, like up to what time tourist destinations can remain open; whether night life should be encouraged; where and how much security should be provided; and making public a list of safe tourist destinations. Yet, despite this, Karnataka continues to carry the image of being a hospitable, warm and welcoming destination for meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions (MICE), health, religious, environment and adventure tourism. But government officials and experts say a lot more needs to be done. Soon after the Koppal horror, Karnataka state home department issued guidelines for homestay/hotel/resort owners to follow. It made it mandatory for them to obtain police and forest department permission before taking tourists to wooded or deserted locations. The government also reiterated the mandate issued by the Bureau of Immigration for all property owners to fill Form-C, informing the travel details of foreign tourists within 24 hours of their arrival. Three held in Hampi tourist molestation case Experts working closely with the tourism department say these are knee-jerk reactions. There are sufficient rules that just need to be followed to the tee. There is a fine line between policing and ensuring safety to all. The police, district administration and property owners should work together. A log book of all hotels/homestays/resorts should be maintained, and it must be checked every fortnight. Details of property owners should also be checked by the police. The announcement of the government putting the onus on the property owners is not new, it has always been there, the expert said. A senior tourism department official admitted to the lapses. After illegal activities in homestays and hotels, particularly in Kodagu and Chikkamagaluru came to light, the state government decided to prepare an inventory of all properties and crackdown on illegal ones. That exercise is yet to be completed. But members of Coorg Homestay Association (CHA) have started to become vigilant. CHA president Monthi Ganesh says although Coorg has a large number of homestays in the district, only few follow the rules. There is a clear definition of a homestay a property that has not more than five-six rooms and the owner stays there. We surveyed and prepared a list of such homestays. We regularly check them and update the list. Visitors visiting Coorg should check the list, she says, adding that a similar exercise should be done everywhere. Sundar Singaram, Director Operations, South India Hotels and Restaurants Association, says property and guides normally advise tourists on safety and timings. While most tourists follow, some dont. Like recently in Munnar, despite warnings, a German national ventured out on to a jungle road with a two-wheeler and was attacked by a tusker. Police and security measures are available only at select monuments. At remaining locations, it is wisdom and experience of local property owners that is crucial, he says. Koppal rape incident impact Holi celebrations, tourist arrivals in Hampi Singaram adds the Koppal incident has not impacted tourism as yet. This is because of the image the southern states carry overall. International and domestic tourists find the hospitality offered by the southern states warmer and comfortable when compared to other places. Hampi is the face of Karnatakas tourism and a major draw for domestic and foreign tourists. The incident has taken place near the states star location. It is a setback for the image of the tourism industry, especially after Karnataka hosted the Karnataka International Travel Expo- 2025 from February 25 to 28, showcasing the states tourism potential to attract investment, says a senior state tourism department official. Hampi has been declared as a World Heritage Site by the United Nations, Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO). It is located on the banks of Tungabhadra River, showcasing the Vijayanagara dynasty. Recently the government released the state tourism policy 2024-29, which included a chapter on tourist safety and comfort. According to experts, there is nothing concrete in the chapter assuring tourist safety, especially CCTV cameras. As, globally, special measures and policies have been drawn to encourage solo travellers, especially women which has now become a trend Karnataka is yet to catch up. The policy lists works to be undertaken by tourist guides, role of tourist mitras (TMs-similar to tourism police force comprises of guides and home guards stationed at tourist sites), provision of facilities that are women- centric and for specially-abled, creation of an online grievance redressal system and launching of tourist helpline; but these are basic, a lot more needs to be done, and they need to take opinions of tourists to improve, says an official from the department. The official admits that the incidents have raised the debate over promoting nightlife in Karnataka, not just limiting it to Bengaluru. Each region/district is unique. The Daiva Kola and Bhoota Kola are held at night. The department is taking multiple steps to start Hampi By Night and promote nightlife on the beach. We cannot tell tourists not to venture out post sunset. Proper measures need to be in place for their safety, the official says. However, as the members of hotels and restaurants associations support the idea of promoting nightlife, they question the support of the government agencies. Chandrashekhar Hebbar, Honorary President, Karnataka Hotels Association, citing the example of Bengaluru, says though hotels and restaurants have permission to stay open till late in the night, the police ask them to shut down, citing manpower shortage. The government is unable to provide proper infrastructure support for nightlife in Tier-1 cities, let alone other places. He says while the government is checking all properties, the association has also started it. Karnataka has over a lakh hotels in varied categories, of which only 20% are registered. District administrations have held meetings with stakeholders and a list of all locations where tourists stay and visit are being listed out. A registry of all homestays, lodges, resorts and hotels is being prepared and tallied with the ones listed with the tourism department. Warnings are also being issued to unregistered property owners, and work is being done to clamp them down. Like the state tourisms tagline One State Many Worlds, the concerns of each district are unique. While stern warnings have been issued to property owners to adhere to the Karnataka Tourism Trade (Facilitation and Regulation) (KTTF) Act, 2015, officials are being pressed with suggestions for improvements. KODAGU In the case of Kodagu, which is famous for adventure, leisure and coffee tourism, the district administration has prepared a list of works needed to be taken up on priority. The list includes installation of additional lighting facilities at tourist destinations. The department has listed 23 destinations in Madikeri. Kodagu DC Venkat says they were acting swiftly to register all homestays on the departments website. There are over 3,000 homestays across Kodagu and about 2,229 are registered with us. We are including the list of homestays registered on the Kodagu tourism department website, he says. VIJAYANAGARA Prabhulinga Talakere, Deputy Director, Tourism Department, Vijayanagara, says all registered homestays are being listed in the website and notices are being served to illegal ones. Property owners have been directed to display all obtained operational licenses prominently on display boards to instill confidence among tourists. Ravi G, a homestay owner in Hampi, says the Koppal incident has impacted their business as foreigners have cancelled bookings. Vijayanagara district administration and stakeholders say there have been many instances in the past too where tourists have been ill-treated, including the one that happened last year wherein an autorickshaw driver tried to sexually harass a lady from Maharashtra. She filed a police complaint and the driver was arrested. UDUPI-CHIKkaMAGALURu As Udupi and Chikmagalur are famous for religious and trekking destinations, the government agencies are involving religious institutions and forest departments to ensure there are no untoward incidents. Kumar CU, Assistant Director, Udupi Tourism Department, says five beaches (Malpe, Kaup Light House beach, Padubidri Blue Flag beach, Trasi and Maravanthe) in the district have been recognized by the department and have all safety measures in place. Work on protecting other lesser-known beaches is underway. He says homestay and resort operators have been directed to annually sign an undertaking to ensure they comply with the rules. Shivaram Babu, Deputy Conservator of Forests, Karkala wildlife division, says no one is allowed inside forests for trekking without their guides. Entry of people in all forests is prohibited between 6pm and 6am. Chikkamagaluru District superintendent of Police Dr Vikram Amthe, in his meeting with homestays, lodges and resort owners, asserted that police department permission is compulsory before taking tourists for star gazing at Mullayanagiri and Sitalayyanagiri. The SP also directed all property owners to ensure no night parties are allowed beyond 10pm. KALYANA KARNATAKA REGION In Kalyana Karnataka, the region famous for its forts, especially in Kalaburagi, during interaction with tourists and stakeholders, officials were asked to make note of the need to improve the provision of basic infrastructure including restrooms. Even as the district administration started to check all the lodges and hotels and their ledgers, they were greeted with complaints from tourists. HASSAN The region is not just famous for the archaeological sites Belur, Halebid and Shravanabelagola but now also for elephant tourism. Hassan district administration officials too were forced to make note of the need to improve tourism facilities and safety measures in the heritage sites. During interaction it was learnt that authorities concerned had not maintained proper records of tourists, especially foreigners visiting the region, including the Western Ghats patches despite collecting entry fee. However, property owners have been keeping a records of domestic and international tourists. It may be recollected that last year tourists from Dakshina were attacked by miscreants near Patla Betta, a famous hill station. A tourist guide in Belur says: Belur is world famous for its temples, but lacks basic amenities and safety measures. Tourists or miscreants can enter from any nook and corner of the historic temples. There are no security guards to take care of tourists. Fortunately, no major incident has occurred so far. BENGALURU-MYSURU Just like Bengaluru, Mysuru is a unique city with immense and mixed tourism flavours for the government agencies to deal with. The two cities offer not just wildlife and adventure tourism in city outskirts, the urban cities are also famous for heritage, educational, health, cultural, MICE and urban tourism. After the Koppal incident, the police administrations of Mysuru and Bengaluru have not just been holding high-level stakeholder meetings to ensure tourist safety, they have also been holding meetings with each other to share notes. There are several resorts and homestays in the fringes of Bandipur, Nagarahole and BRT tiger reserves and in Kabini backwaters which witness a huge footfall of domestic and international tourists. After the alleged gang-rape incident in Koppal, district authorities and police have visited the establishments to inspect all security measures, and their licenses and certificates are being verified. SHIVAMOGGA In case of Shivamogga, that is known for the scenic natural beauty and literature-rich destinations, T Dharmappa, assistant director, tourism department, Shivamogga, says, a District Tourism Development Committee (DTDC) meeting will be held in April inviting all resort, hotel and homestay owners. They will also be educated on the need for their support and create awareness to avoid any untoward incidents. DAKSHINA KANNADA As Dakshina Kannada deputy commissioner Mullai Muhilan says, apart from taking stock of all properties, they are working on additional Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) by taking inputs from all stakeholders for the security of tourists visiting Mangaluru. Yathish Baikampady, a beach tourism promoter, points out that local authorities must ensure there is lighting at all the beaches throughout the night. He says if there is proper lighting, a lot of families will visit the beaches and no untoward incident will happen. Streetlights at all tourist destinations should be properly maintained and there should also be proper police patrolling so that no anti-social elements thrive.

Woman electrocuted while switching on motor pump in Anandapura, protests erupt
BENGALURU: A mother of four was electrocuted when she tried to switch on the motor pump at her house near 1st Cross, opposite Vinayaka Theatre, Anandapura, early Thursday morning. As news of the womans death spread, residents blocked both sides of Mysuru Road under the Sirsi Circle flyover near the City Market in protest, accusing civic authorities of negligence. They also demanded that the local MLA, Housing Minister B Z Zameer Ahmed Khan, visit the spot. The deceased has been identified as 58-year-old Selvi, a widow, from Tamil Nadu. She used to work as domestic help. A police officer said the residents, who do not have water supply connections to their houses, have been drawing water from a nearby BWSSB pipeline using motors illegally connected to nearby electric lines. Around 5.30 am, Selvi went to switch on the motor to draw water when she came in contact with a live wire near the electric line and was electrocuted. She died on the spot, the police said. Following her death, nearly a hundred residents blocked roads, raising slogans demanding proper water supply and justice for Selvi. When Minister Zameer arrived at the spot, residents surrounded him and started questioning him, not giving him any chance to speak. Speaking to reporters, the minister said the woman died while switching on the water pump to draw water from the BWSSB pipeline. He added that ten days ago, a foundation-laying ceremony was held for the Cauvery water supply project to ensure piped water to every household. He claimed that residents in the area have been illegally constructing multi-storied buildings and using pumps to draw water directly from BWSSB pipelines illegally for their residences using motors. As tension escalated in the locality, two platoons of Karnataka State Reserve Police (KSRP) were deployed to control the situation. The police said a case of unnatural death had been registered.

Major Arterial Road: Approval for road through Sulikere forest
BENGALURU: A big relief is in store for the public when the Bangalore Development Authoritys toll-free Major Arterial Road (MAR) which slices through the Nadaprabhu Kempegowda Layout gets completed as it will reduce the travel time between South and West Bengaluru from 60 minutes to just 10 minutes. A major step towards this has just been taken as the Forest department has agreed to allow the road to pass through the Sulikere Forest. The ten-lane road running into 100 metres width will connect Mysuru Road to Magadi Road. It will have six lanes, three in each direction and four service lanes. It is presently signal free, but they would get installed in the future. A top official told BDA that they would be constructing 10.3 km out of the 10.77 km MAR road, while the rest would be done by the Bengaluru Metro near its Challaghatta depot. We have completed 95% of the road. However, a few patches in between and small patch of land we require from the Forest department, for constructing 180 metres of the road has been held up. This is located 4 km from the Mysuru Road end. This is on the verge of being handed over. Another BDA official explained that the Forest department had earlier refused to give permission for the road to pass through its area stating that it would divide 90 percent of the forest on one side with ten percent on the other side. This held back our completion of the road for long. We have now identified land built by the PWD long ago which figures in the portion where the 90% portion lies. We will be building our road in such a way that it connects with the existing road. We have explained our plan to the Forest department and they are okay with the plan, he said. A new proposal has now been submitted to the Forest department. We hope to complete the road at the earliest as soon as we get the written consent from the Forest department, another official said.
