Last Updated:
Bengaluru, Aug 4 (PTI) Justice H N Nagamohan Das, who heads the one-man commission on internal reservation for Scheduled Caste in government jobs and education institutions, on Monday submitted his report to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.
Speaking to reporters, Siddaramaiah said the report would be presented in the cabinet meeting on August 7.
'The report has been submitted. There is a cabinet meeting on August 7 where we will present it and take a decision," he added.
Justice Das said he has submitted 1,766-page report.
He further said 27,24,768 Scheduled Caste households and 1,07,01,982 individuals from the state participated in the survey.
'At this juncture, this is the state government's property. I have no control over it. Its content and the decision – whether to accept it or reject it – rests entirely with the state government," Justice Das said.
The retired High Court judge said that the state government formed the commission headed by him on January 1, 2025, and on March 27, he submitted an interim report saying that there is a lack of clarity on data and recommended a fresh survey.
'The same day, the state cabinet too ordered a fresh survey," he said, and added that from May 5 to July 6, the survey took place.
According to an official statement, Justice Das did not receive any form of remuneration or honorarium for this project. PTI GMS GMS KH

Photography permitted inside MIA, restrictions in place at Dabolim airport: CM
Panaji, Aug 5 (PTI) Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant on Tuesday said photography by air travellers is permitted at terminal buildings of Manohar International Airport, while restrictions are in place at the international airport in Dabolim. Sawant was responding to Congress MLA Carlos Ferreira's calling attention motion regarding confusion over the prohibition of photography at the state's airports. Manohar International Airport is a civil airport, while the Goa International Airport in Dabolim serves as a runway for aircraft operating out of the Indian Navy's INS Hansa on the Western front. He said the earlier restrictions about photography at airport terminals and from inside aircraft have been revised. 'Photography by passengers of scheduled flights in terminal buildings of civil aerodromes and civil enclaves of defence aerodromes is now allowed," the chief minister said. He, however, clarified that photography and videography from inside an aircraft, particularly at defence airports (Dabolim airport), remain prohibited under directives issued by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). The DGCA has also mandated that window shades be kept closed below 10,000 feet during take-off and landing at defence airports to prevent inadvertent capture of sensitive installations, Sawant said. He added that restrictions are particularly stringent at airports near the western border, including Dabolim (Goa), Leh, Srinagar, and Jammu. Sawant said that the airlines have been instructed to inform passengers of these restrictions via announcements and visible signage. 'The prohibition aims to safeguard national security by preventing any potential capture of sensitive military operations or infrastructure," he added.

Netanyahu Set To Unveil New War Plan, May Order 'Total Conquest Of Gaza'
Last Updated: According to Israeli media, the updated war plan aims to dismantle Hamas and secure the release of dozens of Israeli hostages Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to announce a new military strategy for Gaza, with reports suggesting he may order the complete reoccupation of the Palestinian territory. According to Israeli media, the updated war plan aims to dismantle Hamas and secure the release of dozens of Israeli hostages still held in Gaza since the October 7 attacks. Netanyahu was scheduled to meet top security officials in Jerusalem on Tuesday, including the Chief of Staff, the Defence Minister, and other senior military leaders. While the timing of the meeting has not been officially confirmed, the discussions are believed to focus on expanding military operations and issuing new directives. Public broadcaster Kan reported that Netanyahu 'wants the Israeli army to conquer the entire Gaza Strip," while the private daily Maariv declared, 'The die is cast. We're en route for the total conquest of Gaza." Several unnamed officials told media that the Netanyahu plans to extend operations into areas where hostages may be held. Netanyahu also said he would bring the plan to the cabinet later this week for approval. The developments come as Israeli diplomats convene a United Nations Security Council meeting in New York to draw attention to the hostages' plight. The reported reoccupation plans have already triggered sharp reactions from the Palestinian Authority and Hamas. Senior Hamas official Husam Badran told AFP that the group is still committed to talks aimed at ending the war and easing the humanitarian crisis. 'The ball is in the hands of Israel and the Americans," he said. Since the war began in October 2023, over 60,000 Palestinians have been killed, according to Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry. Large areas of Gaza have been flattened by Israeli operations, and aid agencies warn of worsening famine conditions for the 2.4 million people living there. Meanwhile, pressure is mounting on Netanyahu from multiple sides. Hostage families in Israel continue to demand a ceasefire to bring their loved ones home. Internationally, calls for a truce are growing louder, as are efforts in several European countries to recognise Palestinian statehood, moves strongly opposed by Israel and the United States. Inside his own coalition, Netanyahu is also facing pressure from far-right allies who support the full reoccupation of Gaza and increased control over the occupied West Bank.
