Belagavi is the epicentre of a state border row between Maharashtra and Karnataka
Upset over Maharashtra minsters scheduling visits to Belagavi, the epicentre of a state border row, Karnataka Chief Minister Basaravaj Bommai said the BJP government won't hesitate to take "suitable action" against the ministers of the neighbouring state, where the BJP is also in power in an alliance with the Eknath Shinde faction of the Shiv Sena.
The border dispute with Maharashtra is a closed chapter, said Mr Bommai.
"If Maharashtra ministers are coming to Belagavi, instructions are given to the officials concerned to take suitable action as per law. The state government will not hesitate to take action," Mr Bommai said.
With no response from the Maharashtra ministers whether they would cancel their visit, Mr Bommai said the police won't hesitate to take action against them.
