Three teams visited tremor-hit areas in Kalaburagi, Vijayapura and Bidar district on November 8-9
The teams of seismologists that visited tremor-hit areas in Kalaburagi, Vijayapura and Bidar districts for two days found ‘new indications’ that are specific to the region in connection with the mild earthquakes recorded recently.
They shared their findings with mediapersons on November 9 after a meeting with senior officials at the district administrative complex in Kalaburagi.

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.
