    Karnataka CM presses to give priority to Kannada

    At the 70th I-Day celebrations in Bengaluru, Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah pressed on giving priority to Kannada and disapproved of language imposition. "Imposition of other languages will be against the spirit of formation of states on linguistic basis. When we have Kannada as official language, it's unconstitutional to impose any other language."

    Bellandur lake's froth worse than ever before

    Monday's overnight showers added to frothing in Bellandur lake so much so the froth's wave was high enough to swamp a two-storey building. All efforts to clean up the lake, as ordered by NGT, have gone for a toss. According to experts, frothing of lake is due to discharge of sewage water containing household detergents. This calls for immediate setting up of sewage-treatment plants.
