March 17, 2016

Gadag, Mar 17: Gadag city on Wednesday took a big step towards becoming the first in the State to offer Free Wi-Fi facility to people with the commissioning of as many as 10 hotspots to begin with.

WiFi Speaker Kagodu Thimmappa dedicated the hotspot facility at a programme at the District Stadium here on Wednesday. District in-charge Minister H.K. Patil was present.

Following an initiative taken by Mr. Patil, the district administration and the Gadag Betageri Urban Development Authority, (which is sponsoring the Wi-Fi facility), Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) is offering high speed Wi-Fi services at important locations in Gadag Betageri free to the general public.

In the first phase, 25 hotspot locations have been chosen, including the industrial estate, zoo, major colleges, new and old bus stations, Deputy Commissioner's office, new court complex.

Speaking about the initiative, Mr. Patil said: “The new generation, mainly the student community, is dependent on mobile phones and laptops and Internet facility for several works and studies. Offering free Wi-Fi service is an initiative aimed at reaching out to the younger generation. We hope that they make the best use of the facility.”

Under the facility, an individual user will get up to 2 mbps speed and 200 MB each day with each access point supporting up to 300 to 400 users. All social websites such as Facebook and YouTube can be accessed.

General Manager of BSNL, Dharwad Telecom District, Vivek Jaiswal, and Deputy General Manager (Marketing) V.M. Kanakeri hoped that the free Wi-Fi services will increase people's participation in governance.

4 pistols found near Belagavi were used by Gauri Lankesh’s killers for training?

News Network

February 12,2020

Belagavi, 12: Even though the investigation into the four abandoned country pistols that were recovered by the Karnataka police on the outskirts of Waghawade village in Belagavi taluk last weekend did not make any headway, the police are verifying if the weapons had been used by the assassin of Gauri Lankesh for training.

Four country pistols were found abandoned on the outskirts of Waghawade on Sunday. Locals informed that the police had taken the weapons for inspection.

Prima facie it appeared that the weapons were rusted and had not been used for long. Cases had been registered against unidentified persons and investigations were in progress.

After reports that the weapons could have been used for training by the assassin of Gauri Lankesh in the forests in Khanapur, a few kilometres away from the spot wherein they were found, police have been looking into this angle too.

Sources said the condition of the weapons indicated that they have not been used for decades but to allay doubt all aspects were being looked into.
