Bakrid, the Muslim festival of sacrifice, will be celebrated on September 13 across Karnataka, excluding the coastal region.

The crescent moon of Dhul-Hijjah was not sighted on Friday in any parts of Karnataka. Hence, the religious heads across the state (excluding three coastal districts of Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Uttara Kannada) declared Sunday as the first day of the last month of the Islamic calendar.

Accordingly, Eid-ul-Adha or Bakrid which is celebrated on the 10th day, will fall on September 13, the Karnataka Moon Sighting Committee said. The committee held a meeting at the office of the Karnataka State Board of Wakfs.

The Karnataka government has subsequently declared a holiday for all its offices, schools, colleges and other establishments on September 13.

The holiday declared for September 12 stands withdrawn. September 12 will be a regular working day. However, in coastal districts, the Deputy Commissioners have been authorized to take a call on public holiday.

Bengaluru, Jul 3: Opposition leader in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly and former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Friday opined that there is no other option left but to resort to 'Jail Bharo' agitation to expose the ruling BJP government's indulge in 'Corona Corruption' which runs into more than Rs 2000 crore.

Siddaramaiah said that according to a submission to the Karnataka High Court the government has submitted that it has incurred Rs 3,392 crore expenditure for Corona in the State so far. While the market price for equipment purchased will not exceed Rs 1163 crore and it clearly shows that the corruption is to the tune of Rs 2,000 crore.

Siddaramaiah speaking to a private TV channel here on Friday said the chief minister B S Yediyurappa-led State government should come out with a White Paper on the money spent for purchases made facilities provided to patients. 

According to submission to the Court, the Government has purchased 1000 Ventilators by paying Rs 120 crore, while the market price is Rs 40 crores at Rs 4 lakh for each Ventilator. Why is Rs 120 crore more paid, does it not lead to doubt the government's claim. For purchase of kits, mask, gloves etc. it amounted to Rs 1,500 crores but paid by the government was Rs 9,000 crore."
