Carry a 500-foot-long tricolour
Karnataka Pradesh Youth Congress Committee (KPYCC) organised a ‘Tiranga Yatra’ with its members carrying a 500-foot-long tricolour to mark Gandhi Jayanti on October 2.
Hundreds of KPYCC members carried the tricolour for more than a kilometre starting from Jyothi School in Kammanahalli in Bengaluru. All throughout the padayatra, they sang patriotic songs and raised patriotic slogans as well as about building a harmonious society.

Dakshina Kannada Zilla Panchayat has rolled out digital mode of water bill generation and collection in 23 gram panchayats on a pilot basis for the first time in Karnataka. This is set to be extended to the remaining 200 panchayats shortly, according to the Zilla Panchayat Chief Executive Officer Narwade Vinayak Karbhari.

Microplastics, especially nylon fibres, are present in Chennai’s beach sediments in relatively low abundance, but low overall microplastic abundance does not necessarily imply low ecological risk. Even small particles can cause long-term ecological damage by affecting marine life, moving up the food chain, and eventually impacting human health through contaminated seafood.
