BJP leaders heading Boards and Corporations in Karnataka for more than one-and-a-half years will soon have to make way for others, said Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai in Bengaluru on July 12.
Speaking to reporters at Mysuru airport en route to Kodagu as part of his tour of rain-hit districts in Karnataka, Mr. Bommai said the BJP’s core committee had decided about six months ago that party leaders heading Boards and Corporations for more than one-and-a-half years should be replaced.
Hence, necessary steps will be taken to replace partymen heading Boards and Corproations with other leaders. “We will have to give an opportunity to others also...,” he said. “A list will be prepared,” he said, adding that necessary communication in the regard will soon be sent to the heads of Boards and Corporations who had completed one-and-a-half years in office.
Aasheesh Pittie says birdwatching is not very unlike hunting, except that nothing is killed. “You track… you want to follow the bird… see it,” he says about this activity that he has pursued for nearly fifty years. Pittie, the editor of the ornithological journal Indian Birds, author of many classic reference books about birds and most recently, a collection of bird essays titled The Living Air: Pleasures of Birds and Birdwatching, was speaking at an event organised by the Archives of the National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS).
