Former MLA M.K.Somashekar of the Congress along with a few party workers held a unique protest to draw the attention of the authorities to the pothole-ridden roads of Mysuru, on Thursday. The former MLA and his supporters filled up many of the potholes to drive home the point that the authorities are apathetic to public issues.

The Centre has rejected reports that the definition of the Aravalli hills was changed to permit large-scale mining, citing a Supreme Court-ordered freeze on new leases. It said a court-approved framework will bring over 90% of the Aravalli region under protected areas and strengthen safeguards against illegal mining. The clarification follows controversy over the “100-metre” criterion used to define hills across states.
