Mangalore, January 13: Music dominated day-two of the 17th edition of National Youth Festival, as a spellbound performance by world renowned colonial cousins-singer Hariharan and composer-singer Lesle Lewis created a new word for nearly three hours on Friday.

With their unique brand of Indian and Western fusion music, the duo enthralled and entertained thousands of fans gathered at Mangala Stadium in the city in a perfect musical night.

The musical night commenced with Hariharan rendering some of his super hit songs. The repertoire included songs like 'Savi Savi Nenapu'…, 'Chiku Buku Railu'…, 'O Shanti, Shanti…' 'Roja Janeman…', 'Kalavannu Thadeyoru Yaru Illa…' and so on. After one hour of performance, Lesle Lewis joined him to impose a colonial rule over thousands of fans, with their signature song 'Colonial Cousins…'

Hariharan asked the audience to repeat the mesmerizing words. Since many play back singers were present, the song was given a whole new feel.

The night was special to all — an unforgettable treat on the eve of Sankranti!

Udupi: Deputy Commissioner K. Vidya Kumari has directed officials to expedite land acquisition for designated industrial zones in the district to facilitate new industries. She issued these instructions during a meeting at Rajatadri on Wednesday.

Lands have been identified across various taluks for industrial development. The DC emphasized that KIADB must acquire these lands and ensure essential infrastructure—electricity, roads, and drainage—to attract industries and generate employment.

A total of 77 acres of private land has been acquired and compensated, including 31.2 acres in Kerebettu village, Hebri taluk, and 45.7 acres in Shivapura village. However, approval for 36.5 acres of government land is still pending. She instructed the forest department to assess whether this land falls under an eco-sensitive zone.

For the Belapu Industrial Area, the DC urged officials to accelerate minor land acquisitions for road expansion and commence construction at the earliest. She also mandated rainwater harvesting systems for all units in the Miyaru Industrial Area to tackle water scarcity.

Currently, 22 export-based units operate in the district. The DC encouraged further promotion of exports and an increase in their number.

The meeting was attended by Joint Director of Industries Nagraj V. Naik, KIADB Development Officer Srinivasa Murthy, Small-Scale Industries Association District President Harish Kunder, Deputy Director of the District Industrial Center Seetharam Shetty, District Skill Development Officer Arun B., and others.

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.
