Mangaluru, Dec 7: The recent incident of assault on those who tried to prevent cattle trafficking in Shivamogga and video clip of Home Minister Araga Jnanendra slamming the police for being corrupt have proved that cattle theft and illegal transportation have increased during the BJP-rule in Karnataka, said former minister U T Khader.

Addressing media persons, the Mangaluru MLA sought to know whether Karnataka Prevention of Cow Slaughter and Preservation of Cattle Act, 2020 was introduced just for publicity?

When there are so many factories exporting beef in the state, then it is natural to transport cattle. Why did the government fail to close it down, he asked.

Karnataka CM directs officials to submit proposal for gold chariot for Chamundeshwari idol

Bengaluru: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has instructed the Hindu Religious Endowment Department to submit a proposal for constructing a gold chariot for the presiding deity of the state, Chamundeshwari, official sources said on Monday.

The directive follows a request from Member of Legislative Council (MLC) Dinesh Gooligowda, who highlighted the historical and cultural significance of the Chamundeshwari Temple on Chamundi Hill in Mysuru, which dates back to the 12th century AD.

Gooligowda noted that the existing wooden chariot, donated by devotees from Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, has deteriorated over time.

“Devotees have expressed their desire to organise a ‘rathotsava’ using a gold chariot for Goddess Chamundeshwari. This proposal has been under consideration for some time, with an estimated cost of Rs 100 crore,” the MLC said.

He emphasised that the government’s financial involvement would not be required, as devotees are willing to contribute towards making the chariot a reality.

Gooligowda proposed a deadline for the 2025 Dasara festival for the completion of the chariot, ensuring it is ready for the grand procession featuring the idol of Chamundeshwari.
