Mr. Bommai is visiting the temple for the first time after taking over as Chief Minister. The Chief Minister also performed special puja at Sangam, the confluence of the Bhima and the Amarja.
Archakas of Sri Dattatreya temple gifted a bronze and a silver idol of Lord Dattatreya to the Chief Minister.
Meanwhile, Mr. Bommai unveiled a bronze statue of backward class leader and former legislator Vittal Heroor at the latter’s native Deval Ganagapur.
Justice G. Jayachandran of the Madras High Court has said that Justice G.R. Swaminathan has exhibited bias against the State police by “showing interest in passing orders hastily without consulting the Bench partner (Justice P.B. Balaji)“ in a habeas corpus petition filed against the preventive detention of YouTuber ‘Savukku’ Shankar alias A. Shankar under the Goondas Act.
