The State Government will consider the demand for releasing ₹200 crore for the Kittur Development Authority, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said in Kittur near Belagavi.
There is a long-pending demand for developing all places associated with the warrior queen Rani Channamma. They include the fort in Kittur and other monuments. People have been demanding ₹200 crore. “We will discuss this issue with officers and experts,’’ he said.
Steps will be taken to develop Kittur as an international tourist spot, the Chief Minister added.

In , the grape capital of India and host of the Simhastha Kumbh Mela every 12 years, environmental concerns over a plan to cut 1,800 trees for the proposed Sadhugram project in the historic Tapovan area have sharpened political fault lines ahead of local body elections. The issue has pitted both Sena factions against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which leads the ruling Mahayuti alliance in Maharashtra. While Eknath Shinde, Deputy Chief Minister and Shiv Sena chief, and Uddhav Thackeray, chief of the Shiv Sena (UBT), remain political rivals, their parties have found rare common ground in Tapovan, where authorities propose clearing trees across 34 acres to build Sadhugram and a MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions) hub, as part of a ₹300-crore infrastructure push linked to the pilgrimage.
