Bhatkal, July 21: Inspector General of Police (Western Range) Alok Monhan clarified that no investigating team had visited Bhatkal in connection with recent serial bomb blasts in Mumbai.

The IGP was responding the queries of media persons after paying a visit to Bhatkal police station on Wednesday.

Recent media reports stated that a team of officials of Mumbai's Anti Terrorist Squad (ATS) had reached Bhatkal as part of Mumbai serial blasts probe.

Though officials did not confirm the reports, sources within the police department had said that one of the ATS teams, which was investigating the serial blasts case, visited Bhatkal.

A police official on condition of anonymity had said that since Indian Mujahideen is suspected to have carried out the blasts, the ATS team had visited Bhatkal, which is the hometown of Riyaz Bhatkal, the alleged founder of Indian Mujahideen.

However Mr Alok Mohan brushed aside the reports saying that no such teams had visited the town, and no one from the town had been picked up for investigation.

The IGP also said that the police department was taking appropriate steps to improve the investigative efficiency.

Bengaluru: The Karnataka Assembly on Friday passed Bills doubling the salaries of the chief minister, ministers, and legislators, adding an annual burden of ₹62 crore on the exchequer.

The CM's monthly salary will increase from ₹75,000 to ₹1.5 lakh, while ministers will see a 108% hike, from ₹60,000 to ₹1.25 lakh. MLAs and MLCs will get ₹80,000 per month, up from ₹40,000, and their pension will rise from ₹50,000 to ₹75,000.

The Karnataka Ministers Salaries and Allowances (Amendment) Bill and the Karnataka Legislature Salaries, Pensions and Allowances (Amendment) Bill were passed without debate, as the Opposition BJP protested in the well of the House.

The Bills cited the rising cost of living as justification for the hike. The Assembly Speaker and Legislative Council chairperson will now receive ₹1.25 lakh per month, up from ₹75,000.

The Karnataka government has announced that Nandini milk will become ₹4 costlier per litre starting April 1, 2025. This is the second price hike this year.

The decision was made during a cabinet meeting led by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. Karnataka Cooperation Minister K N Rajanna and Animal Husbandry Minister K Venkatesh said the increase is meant to support dairy farmers by covering the rising costs of producing and processing milk.

Officials also said that:

>> The extra money from the price hike will go directly to the milk producers.

>> The earlier ₹2 price hike (announced on June 26, 2024) will be withdrawn.

>> The new price hike of ₹4 will apply to both 500 ml and 1-litre packets.
