Karnataka BJP Calls for Accountability in Stampede Tragedy
Bengaluru: BJP demands judicial inquiry, Karnataka Congress government, stampede accountability, B Y Vijayendra's statement, compensation for victims, public safety the wake of a stampede during Royal Challengers Bengaluru's IPL 2025 victory parade near Chinnaswamy Stadium, Karnataka BJP President B Y Vijayendra has called for a judicial inquiry by a sitting High Court judge, accusing the Congress-led state government of gross negligence and an obsession with public relations at the expense of public safety. Vijayendra's demand for accountability comes as the state grapples with the aftermath of the tragedy, with hospitals reporting a grim tally of casualties and the injured still under treatment. In a strongly worded statement on social media platform X, Vijayendra asserted, 'The stampede at Chinnaswamy wasn't an accident, it was a tragedy caused by the Congress government's sheer irresponsibility and PR obsession. I demand a judicial inquiry by a sitting High Court judge and Rs. 50 lakh compensation for each victim's family. The CM & his cabinet must be held accountable.' The BJP leader's call for a judicial probe reflects a broader political narrative of opposition to the Congress government's handling of the event. The tragedy has ignited a fierce debate over event management and public safety protocols, especially given the scale of the gathering, which drew an estimated 2.5 lakh people to the stadium and its vicinity. The tragedy has also prompted a response from the Karnataka government, which has ordered a magisterial inquiry but stopped short of agreeing to a judicial one. This distinction is crucial, as a judicial inquiry would involve higher judicial oversight and potentially more stringent accountability measures. The state has also announced plans to formulate a new Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for mega events, aiming to prevent future incidents.

Haryana charts green path: Markets with organic produce soon
Gurgaon: The city, along with Hisar, will soon have a dedicated organic produce market. The new initiative will see the city hosting a specialised market focusing on organically produced staples, including wheat, rice and pulses. Hisar will feature a dedicated market for organic fruits and vegetables, creating a comprehensive ecosystem for natural and organic produce in the state. A key highlight of the announcement includes financial assistance of Rs 20,000 per farmer for branding and packaging of natural farming products. The govt will also establish testing laboratories offering free services to farmers to ensure quality control of organic produce. The move aims to encourage more farmers to adopt organic farming methods. The announcement, aimed at promoting sustainable agriculture, came during a World Environment Day programme on Thursday, even as Haryana chief minister Nayab Singh Saini spoke about the state govt's "commitment to eco-friendly farming practices". Saini said, "To ensure fair pricing, a dedicated committee will be formed under the Haryana Farmers' Welfare Authority to determine the rates for natural and organic produce." The scheme is expected to provide organic farmers with direct access to consumers and create a structured marketplace for chemical-free agricultural products. A senior govt official said, "The establishment of these specialised markets is part of govt's broader vision of promoting sustainable agricultural practices and addressing growing consumer demand for organic products." The govt has also introduced measures to support landless farmers. In Kaithal district's Pundri block, 53 acres of agricultural department land will be leased through auction to farmers practising natural farming. Additionally, each village will reserve 10% of panchayat land (or a minimum of one acre) exclusively for natural farming by landless farmers. The govt will also provide financial incentives, including Rs 3,000 per farmer for purchasing storage equipment and a substantial subsidy of Rs 30,000 for native cow purchase, supporting the natural farming ecosystem.
