State authorities are expected to implement govt's order banning PoP idols with all seriousness: Karnataka High Court
The High Court of Karnataka on Thursday said that it expects the State government and its authorities, with all seriousness, implement the government's order of banning manufacture, distribution, and sale of idols made from Plaster of Paris (PoP) in accordance with the law. A division bench comprising Chief Justice Vibhu Bakhru and Justice C.M. Joshi passed the order while disposing of a petition filed by the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB), which had sought a direction to the Urban Development Department (UDD) and other authorities of the State to implement the notification issued on September 15, 2023, banning PoP idols. While declining to issue any specific direction on the issue of manufacture, distribution, sale, etc., of PoP idols, the bench said that it is not inclined to pass any order as the government notification issued in 2023 in this regard is in force and it is for the authorities to implement their own orders. The KSPCB, in its petition, had said that despite the ban order, there are manufactures of PoP idols, and one in one such instance a PoP idol manufacturing unit, situated at Kumbalgodu near Kengeri, was sealed. However, despite this action, surreptitiously PoP idols in the sealed unit were being removed for sale. However, the government counsel pointed out to the bench that a First Information Report (FIR) was registered in connection with the manufacture of PoP idols at Kumbalgodu unit and further actions are underway.

Several hundreds from the Maharshi Valmiki community took to the streets in Yadgir on Wednesday and demanded legal action against fake caste certificates to those from the non-Valmiki communities. They took out a protest march on the main streets urging the State government to fulfil their long-pending demands, primarily to prevent fake caste certificates in the name of the Valmiki community to non-Valmiki communities. Community leaders said that the revenue authorities are issuing fake caste certificates to non-Valmiki communities. The State government should take legal action against the authorities as per the direction given by the High Court of Karnataka for issuing such certificates. The protesters demanded action on scholarships to be distributed immediately to students of the Valmiki community. They said that a tribal university should be established to enable tribal students to study and carry out research. They said that many from the community are subjected to atrocities and other crimes. The government should protect such people. Legal action should be taken against officers for diverting funds meant for Scheduled Tribes to other activities. They said that Madhugiri MLA K.N. Rajanna, who belongs to the Valmiki community, should be included in the Cabinet, as he was sacked recently for no specific reason. Peethadhipathi of Valmiki Gurupeetha, Rajanahalli in Davangere, Prasannanand Swami, Mareppa Naik Mogdampur, Krishnappagouda Aldal, Hanumanth Naik, Siddalingappa Naik, Bheemu Naik and others were present.

State poised to lead India's quantum technology push: Raichur MP
Bengaluru: Karnataka is ready to play a leading role in shaping India's quantum technology land-scape, Raichur MP G. Kumar Naik told the Lok Sabha on Monday while welcoming the Centre's decision to invest in the National Quantum Mission (NQM). Speaking under Rule 377, Naik stressed the need for better coordination, a clear im-plementation roadmap, and cooperative federalism to ensure that the mission delivers measurable outcomes. Drawing lessons from India's semiconductor programme, he warned against the risk of ambitious projects stalling despite large budget allocations. Naik highlighted Karnataka's early strides in the sector, including the announcement of a Rs1,000-crore Quantum Fund — the first of its kind in the country — and a compre-hensive vision for quantum technology development under Chief Minister Siddara-maiah and Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar. He credited State Science and Technology Minister N.S. Boseraju for conceptualising and executing the inaugural Quantum India Summit 2025 in Bengaluru, which brought together Nobel Laureates, global experts, industry leaders, and researchers. Key state initiatives include a dedicated Quantum Research Park and Q-City, Fabline, quantum coursework in over 20 colleges, and a strong startup ecosystem. Karnataka produces more than 91,000 quantum-relevant graduates annually, second only to the EU, Naik said. Boseraju added that the success of the national mission depends on the State and Centre working 'hand-in-hand' with shared vision, strategic coordination, and sus-tained investment in talent and infrastructure.
