District Surgeon of Haveri Parameshwarappa Havanur and senior paediatrician from Dharwad Rajan Deshpande have been selected for the Vaidyashri Award instituted by Haveri Kala Spandana.
Addressing presspersons in Dharwad on Tuesday, president of Haveri Kala Spandana Marthandappa Katti said that the senior doctors have been chosen for this year’s award considering their service to the field of medicine.
A committee comprising eminent physicians Satyanarayan Mastmanavar, Shivakumar Uppal, V.B. Nitali and K.R. Ramesh chose the two doctors for the award, he said.

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.
