Udupi, April 15: Study of ancient Greek literatures had revealed that, those included over 30 per cent of Tulu words. It is the need of the hour to translate Tulu Literature in to English to relink the Tulu language, tradition and culture to the international languages. Or else Tulu tradition will become stagnant, opined renowned folk scholar Dr Vamana Nandavara.

He was speaking after receiving the Bannanje Babu Amin Folk Award, instituted by Kemmalaje Janapada Prakashana, here on Sunday. He also demanded the Universities to provide occassions and forums for the development of Tulu folks.

Renowned `Naagaswar' artist Alevoor Bogra Sherigar was also honoured with the Award.

Veteran scholar Dr Erya Laxminarayana Alva handed over the award and said that to present the folk art in a more luxurious way, it was being given the modern touch. As a result the folk arts had been losing its original spirit.

Study of Tulu literature shall raise above one's caste and shall focus more on field work, he added. President of Kemmalaje Janapada Prakashana Dr Gananath Ekkaru presided over the function. Karnataka Tulu Sahithya Akademy President Umanath Kotian, Entrepreneur Pramod Madhwaraj Malpe, Anil Shetty Moodu Alevoor, Ganesh Amin Malpe were the chief guests.

Jun 19: BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis on Thursday said Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray should sign an agreement with neighbouring Karnataka to avoid a repeat of flood in part of the state like it happened in August last year.

In August 2019, Kolhapur, Sangli districts and some other parts of the state faced unprecedented floods triggered by huge release of water from dams in western Maharashtra and from the Almatti dam in Karnataka.

Fadnavis said, The Maharashtra chief minister should hold an urgent meeting with the Karnataka chief minister and enter into an agreement over-discharge of water from the Almatti dam located on the border of both the states."

If water is not released from the Almatti dam in time, it will cause flooding in border areas of Maharashtra such as Kolhapur and Sangli.

"A pact between the two states would benefit both as it would help in keeping water levels in control, the former chief minister said.

The dams in the state already have sizeable water stock. It would be better if the chief minster schedules a meeting with the Karnataka chief minister regarding the same (agreement), the Leader of Opposition in the assembly said.

Bengaluru, Apr 4: Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on Friday asked Primary and Secondary Education Minister S Suresh Kumar to be the government's spokesperson on the Novel Coronavirus crisis management effort, a move that is being seen as keeping too many cooks from spoiling the broth.

At a high-level meeting to review measures on COVID-19 containment, Mr Yediyurappa is said to have taken exception to his Cabinet colleagues making multiple, and often contradictory statements, leading to confusion.

''The CM has directed Mr Kumar to be the only one to brief the media on COVID-19,'' a source from the Chief Minister's Office (CMO) confirmed.
