Some right wing organisations observed a one-day bandh on Wednesday in Rabakavi-Banahatti twin towns in Bagalkot district against what they an attack on a teacher during the protests related to the hijab-saffron shawl issue on Tuesday.
The bandh, however, evoked mixed response. Schools and colleges were closed, as per the Government Order, but most government and private offices were open. Vehicles were running as usual.

Over the decades, the Anglo-Indian Grand Christmas Ball in Chennai has stepped into many venues, from Railway enclaves to private halls. It has left an indelible mark on some of these venues, Faiz Mahal and Shiraz Hall, both in Egmore, counted among them. This Christmas Day (December 25), Faiz Mahal is playing host to yet another Grand Christmas Ball. The soiree is organised by Anglo-Indians but by no means restricted to them. In these times of dwindling Anglo-Indian presence even in enclaves with a distinctive Anglo-Indian flavour, this event signifies an effort to preserve a cultural tradition that has enriched Chennai
