He said that Electronic City metro connectivity will be completed by 2020 and White Field metro train work will be finished by 2021.

"I will try my best to visit different parts of Bengaluru once in every 15 days to take stock of the infrastructural work and other developmental activities that needs to be undertaken. By 2020 we will have connectivity with the Electronic City," said Yediyurappa.

"Silk Board is a major traffic hub in the city, the traffic problem in the area will soon be resolved. White Field metro train work needs to be finished by 2021, I have instructed officials to speed up the work," he added.

He further said that IT companies here have cited a loss of over Rs 30,000 crore due to the traffic problem in the city, which will soon be resolved.

"We will ensure there is no corruption in the work that will be carried out from now on. Strict action will be taken against those who will be involved in corruption related to any kind of developmental work here. We want to transform Bengaluru into one of the best cities internationally," said Yediyurappa.

The Chief Minister who is scheduled to visit north Karnataka shortly to take stock of the flood-affected areas said adequate compensation will be given to all those affected by floods.

"We will construct houses for poor people who have lost their shelters due to the floods and provide them with Rs 5 lakh. We will also provide Rs 1 lakh to those who want to repair their houses. I will also ask IT and biotech (BT) companies to contribute towards flood relief," he said.

Dammam-Mangaluru first direct repatriation flight under VBM on June 21

Mangaluru, June 10: The first direct repatriation flight from Damma to Mangaluru International Airport under Vande Bharat Mission will be operated on June 21.

Thousands of people from coastal districts of Karnataka are stranded without flights in different parts of Saudi Arabia after the announcement of covid lockdown in March this year.

Even though the government of India launched Vande Bharat Mission to repatriate Indian expatriate through special flights, no flight was scheduled from Saudi Arabia to Mangaluru.

Several organisations had exerted pressure on the government of India and government of Karnataka to bring back stranded Kannadigas from Saudi Arabia.

With the sole intention of helping the stranded Kannadigas, a few philanthropists in Saudi Arabia last month formed an NGO called Saudi Kannadigas Humanity Forum under the leadership of Zakariya Bajpe and Sheikh Expertise.

Shooting and production of films, TV programmes to resume in Karnataka

News Network

June 16,2020

Bengaluru, Jun 16: Continuing easing of restrictions under 'unlock-1,' the Karnataka government has allowed shooting and production of films and television programmes in the state.

In a clarification, Principal Secretary Revenue N Manjunath Prasad said, shooting and production of all films and television programmes that were stopped in between due to lockdown can be allowed.

It is also allowed to continue with the post-production activities of film and television programmes after completing the shooting, it said.

The permission is conditional as it is subjected to adhering of the national directives issued in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, and standard operating procedures prescribed by the Department of Information and Public Relations.

The clarification said permission can be given as film and television shooting and production activities are not banned under guidelines issued by the centre and the state government recently.
