No plans to contest polls: Bhavani Revanna
The Hindu
JD(S) leader and Zilla Panchayat member Bhavani Revanna has said she was happy with her work during the five-year term in ZP and she was of the opinion that she worked as good as an MLA.
At a press conference in Hassan on Wednesday, Ms. Bhavani Revanna said as the head of the standing committee on education and health, she responded to many problems in the district and resolved them. She could get health clinics sanctioned, an ambulance launched and also played a role in improving the SSLC results. She has organised a Women’s Day programme in Hassan on Friday in association with many women forums. Calling it an apolitical event, she said women from all political parties had been invited. “The programme would include several competitions for women and prize distribution, besides a lecture by humorist Sudha Baraguru. I have personally invited women active in other political parties”, she said.
The municipal bus stand auditorium in Malappuram was packed. But nobody quite knew what to expect. After all, a new event was making its debut at the State School Arts Festival. The moment V.G. Harikrishnan started his rendition of Pyar bhare do sharmile nain..., everyone was convinced that Ghazal was here to stay. The student from GVHSS, Atholi (Kozhikode), was applauded loudly for his rendering of the timeless ghazal sung originally by Mehdi Hassan.

For the last few weeks, several wards in Madurai city have been getting piped drinking water through a new drinking water scheme. The sweetness of the generously supplied water has led to loss of business to several suppliers of canned drinking water in the city. But, not many know that the water supplied to the houses in Madurai is directly drawn from Lower Dam of Mullaperiyar Dam in Idukki district of Kerala.
