A part of ashes of farmers, who died during the protest against “anti-farmer” laws in Uttar Pradesh’s Lakhimpur Kheri, were immersed in the Krishna near Kollur village in Shahapur taluk of Yadgir district on Sunday.
Congress leader and former Aland MLA B.R. Patil, who is associated with Samyukta Kisan Morcha, a conglomerate of farmers organisations leading the agitation on border near Delhi against the farm laws, took the ashes to the spot along with other farmer leaders and immersed them in the waters after performing the necessary rituals.
Kalaburagi district president of Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangha Umapathi Patil, social activist Shoukatali Alur, farmer Sharanappa Bhirnoor and others accompanied him to the river for the immersion.
Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight. Meanwhile, a faster, cheaper, roomier alternative called the Suburban Rail Airport Corridor is finally getting off the drawing board. This dedicated corridor with its specialised coaches will link the airport to vast stretches of Bengaluru, where the metro connection is still years away.
