As many as 73 pairs of buffalo took part in six different categories of slush track race. The competitions went on till early Monday morning.

UT Khader, Minister for Health and Family Welfare inaugurated the event. Speaking on the occasion, he said that Kambala and Yakshagana are the two traditional forms of coastal Karnataka. He would be happy to support both these cultural events, he said.

The event started with Hagga Hiriya and Kiriya (Rope senior and junior) in which 20 pairs participated. This was followed by Negilu Hiriya and Kiriya (plough senior and junior), which saw 47 pairs participating in the category. The last ones were Halage (wooden plank) and Kane Halage, the main attractions.

A posse of police personnel was also deployed at the venue for security arrangements as well as to ensure that the organisers and owners do not violate directions by the Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Sciences Department that the event should not unleash any violence on the animals.

The event was organized under the leadership of Talapady Doddamane Ravindranatha Shetty, working president of the Jodukare Kambala Samithi.

Bengaluru, Jul 31: BJP leader CP Yogeshwar has slammed Yediyurappa supporters and said the JDS leader HD Kumaraswamy is supporting BJP.

Speaking to the reporters, Yogeshwar said, "Congress president DK Shivakumar and Janata Dal (Secular) leader and former CM HD Kumaraswamy, both are Yediyurappa supporters."

"His words seem to support the BJP. All that Kumaraswamy had said, during our government's rule, are happening including the officers they mentioned are being transferred. He has come forward to support BJP from the back door," Yogeshwar.

While reacting to allegations made by CP Yogeshwar, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee president DK Shivakumar has said that earlier Yogeshwar requested for State Legislative Council (MLC) member ticket and now such people are blaming me without any evidence. This shows his dishonesty to his party and the kind of person he is."

Mysuru, May 15: The Temple Town of Nanjangud was till now treated as one unit or a Cluster Containment Zone and was put under complete lock-down as per the containment protocol listed under COVID-19 regulations and Disaster Management Act, 2005.

However on Friday, some of the restrictions have been lifted by Mysuru Deputy Commissioner Abhiram G Sankar who permitted certain activities as no fresh positive cases were reported from the cluster area. The Cluster Containment Zone was declared on March 29 following one employee of Nanjangud-based Jubilant Generics tested positive for the killer Coronavirus. As there were chances of the positive person spreading the disease to other employees of the factory, the cluster rules were enforced. Moreover, there were over 1,000 employees in the Pharma Company and a majority of them lived in and around Nanjangud.

The declaration of Cluster Containment Zone with complete lock-down and quarantining of all the Pharma Company employees proved a success to the District Administration as whoever tested positive – over 73 were later tested positive — had already been quarantined and the dangerous community spread phase was successfully prevented. To a major extent, the Corona virus curve has been flattened. As such, restrictions have been relaxed a bit on Friday.
