More than 12 lakh people speak the language in Karnataka
The former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy has condemned the decision of authorities conducting the Dasara festival in Mysuru to drop Byari language from the Kavi Goshti (poetry meet) held as part of the festivities.
Taking to Twitter, the former Chief Minister said while several other languages spoken in Karnataka, including Tulu and Konkani, were given opportunity, the same was denied to Byari language. He said that more than 12 lakh people speak the language.

The Ministry of Railways has announced a rationalisation of passenger fares, effective from December 26, aiming to balance rising operational costs while keeping passenger impact minimal. Suburban services and Monthly Season Ticket holders remain unaffected, while ordinary and AC classes see small increases. The move is expected to generate ₹600 crore in revenue and strengthen safety and efficiency across the railway network.
