SWR runs 136 special trains with 540 extra coaches to manage Deepavali travel rush

Based on the analysis, SWR is running 136 special trains (338 trips), 540 additional coaches, enhanced security, help desks, medical teams, and improved passenger guidance across major stations in Bengaluru, Mysuru and Hubballi divisions. The division undertook an exercise on war-footing to identify train requirements, ensure timely maintenance and plan services to meet passenger demand effectively. The effort has resulted in the operation of over 95 special trains this Deepavali seasonmore than double the 36 run last year. Trains have been deployed in all directions, covering destinations across Karnataka including Belagavi, Hubballi, Bidar, Karwar, Mysuru, and Vijayapura. Services were also optimized for heavy weekend rushes towards Tamil Nadu and Kerala, including Chennai, Kollam, and Tiruchirappalli, SWR added. SWR also stated that recognizing long-distance travel needs, 20 trains have been operated to Patna and Danapur, with additional services to Gomtinagar, Rishikesh, Howrah, Santragachi, Tinsukia, and Narangi.

Karnataka private bus fares spike 6080% ahead of Deepavali; commuters hit by steep price hikes

BENGALURU: Ahead of Deepavali, people looking to spend the extended weekend out of the city are being charged exorbitant fares by private bus operators. With tickets on several routes already sold out, many commuters are being forced to pay at least 60 per cent inflated prices. According to the Karnataka State Private Bus Owners Association, fares have risen by 60-80% this festive season. For instance, an AC sleeper ticket from Bengaluru to Hyderabad, which typically costs Rs 1,200, is now priced between Rs 1,800 and Rs 2,000. The BengaluruChennai route, usually Rs 800Rs 900, has surged to Rs 1,400Rs 1,500. Within the state, a BengaluruBelagavi ticket that normally costs Rs 1,100 is now around Rs 1,700. However, a TNIE reality check found that a non-AC sleeper from Bengaluru to Mysuru was itself priced at about Rs 1,000, with private operators stressing that AC sleepers were too expensive. For BengaluruMangaluru, non-AC sleeper fares were Rs 1,300, while AC sleepers were quoted at around Rs 2,500. Speaking to TNIE about the festive fare hike, S Nataraj Sharma, President of the Karnataka State Private Bus Owners Association, said the Shakti scheme has severely impacted private operators. Weve sought a road tax reduction since 2020, but nothing has been done, he said. Private operators invest crores and provide employment, but receive no government support. During festivals, were blamed for fare hikes which is our only time to make profits. Even KSRTC follows a flexi-fare system and gets reimbursed under Shakti, while we get nothing. If taxes were waived, we could charge Rs 50 to 100 less per seat. Transport Commissioner Yogeesh AM said enforcement against private bus operators is already under way. We have begun Deepavali safety checks and action against private buses since Monday. So far, over 650 cases have been registered, he said.

Treat OCI cardholders like Indian citizens: Karnataka HC

BENGALURU: The Karnataka High Court has directed the Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) to amend its notification for the next year onwards to treat OCI cardholders who were born before March 4, 2021 on par with the Indian citizens for the purpose of admission in professional courses against the government seats. A division bench of Justice D K Singh and Justice Venkatesh Naik T passed the order while allowing the two separate petitions filed by Mukul Pravin Khamayacha from Mysuru and Shreyas Chaturvedi Murthy from Bengaluru. The petitioners are Overseas Citizens of India (OCI). Mukul has studied in Karnataka throughout and completed his Class X examination from Mysuru. Similarly, Shreyas completed Class X in Bengaluru. They have cleared +2 PUC exam from PU Board. They are aggrieved by the notification issued by the KEA for admission to professional courses in the state for 2025-26. Under Clause 7 of the notification, it is prescribed that no candidate shall be eligible for admission to government seats, unless he is a citizen of India and satisfies any one of the eligibility specified therein. The candidates who have not qualified for the eligibility are not liable for admission to professional courses under government seats. Eligibility for OCI or Person of Indian Origin candidates for government seats shall be as per the government direction. The counsel for the petitioners contended that the Supreme Court in its judgment dated February 3, 2023 in the case of Anushka Rengunthwar and others has held that OCI cardholders who were born before notification dated March 4, 2021 issued by the central government and who have registered themselves as OCI cardholders, they should be treated as Indian citizens before date of the notification dated March 4, 2021.

Kasaragod family sets stage to cherish and cheer yakshagana

KASARGOD : When the pandemic confined people to their homes, the World Health Organization (WHO) coordinated efforts to update happenings around the world. And it was part of that activity that Prof Dale Fisher, chair of the Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN) at WHO, noted the efforts of Kasaragod-based Siribagilu Venkappayya Samskrithika Prathishtana in using the traditional performing art form of yakshagana to spread awareness on Covid and precautionary measures. The academy has come a long way since then. It developed a state-of-the-art facility at Shiribagilu village in Madhur panchayat, near Kasaragod town and runs its own publication house. It also maintains a library and museum centred on the dance-drama that is popular in coastal Karnataka, including the border regions of Kasaragod district. The prathishtana was established by Ramakrishna Mayya in memory of his father Shiribagilu Venkappayya, a doyen of yakshagana. Having lost his father at a very young age, Mayya followed in the family tradition to become a yakshagana artist and rose through the ranks to become a bhagavatha, the director of productions. In 2008, after a show in Mysuru, renowned music critic G T Narayana Rao approached Mayya after the name Shiribagilu struck him. He explained to Mayya his fathers contributions to the art form, especially his adaptations of the works of Parthi Subba who is widely regarded as the father of yakshagana who hailed from Kasaragod, and suggested creating something in memory of his father. It inspired me to create the foundation, recounts Mayya. But, it was a big ask for a family that depended on their small farmland for a living. They started looking for sponsors to realise the dream and set aside the 20-cent land for the academy. After prolonged efforts, several philanthropists including Dharmasthala Dharmadhikari Veerendra Heggade and Edneer Mutt backed Mayyas efforts. The Karnataka government also pitched in. The prathishtana was registered in 2013. The family holds cultural programmes, including yakshagana performances, at the facility. Yakshagana is one of the art forms of our district and the family has richly contributed to its growth, said Kasaragod MLA N A Nellikkunnu. Apart from performances, the academy has played a key role in research and documentation. During the pandemic, the foundation chronicled the lives of more than 250 yakshagana artists from Kerala and Karnataka, including Leelavathi Baipadithaya, a pioneering woman artist and bhagavatha. The work has been published in the book Mareyalagada Mahanubavaru, over four volumes. It was a significant achievement because documentation goes a long way, points out Shreedhara D S, retired lecturer, author and writer of Yakshagana plays from Mangaluru. It needed a well-coordinated effort to collect details of artists by phone during the lockdown, says Shyam Kunchinadka, a yakshagana lover associated with the foundation who worked on the project. Yakshagana revolves around Hindu epics and scriptures. Though its the bhagavatha who directs plays, artists have to be well-versed in the rich literature to deliver dialogues spontaneously. We maintain many books to help budding artists, explains Mayya. The library and exhibits at the museum have become essential guides for scholars researching the performance art. Despite having constructed the Rs 1.80-crore facility, Mayya continues to live with his wife and two sons in a one-bedroom house near the academy. We may need another Rs 1 crore to fully execute the academy. We are optimistic of receiving more help, he adds. Meanwhile, a yakshagana academy established by the state government in Mujungavu, not far from Shiribagilu, remains a non-starter with a massive building in abandoned condition.
