Single-window system of Belagavi police to aid festival preparations
Belagavi: The police department opened a single window system at each police station in Belagavi city to help the Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav Mandals obtain various permissions under one roof. Belagavi City Corporation (BCC) has undertaken pothole filling and road repair works. The police department held multiple meetings with the office bearers of various Mandals to address their grievances. Ganesh Mandals have planned to celebrate Ganeshotsav at more than 3,500 places across the district, including over 400 locations in Belagavi city. It is mandatory for Ganesh Mandals to obtain permission from the district administration to install public Ganesh idols. Therefore, a single window centre was started in the city police commissioner's office premises in collaboration with the BCC, Hescom, public works department, fire department, and police department. Environmentalist Sujith said that the use of PoP Ganesha idols should be gradually reduced, as they harm the environment. City police commissioner Bhushan Borase said in a release that permission centres will function from 2 pm to 10 pm every day. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Featuring Brigade Ebony™ at Brigade Showcase 2025 | Aug 8–10, Sheraton Grand, Brigade Gateway Brigade Group Learn More Undo Security arrangements across the district Belagavi Ganeshotsava is special in the state, with lakhs of people gathering.

Konkani Text Corpus project launched to preserve language online
Mangaluru: In order to treasure the original language and ensure its presence on the digital platform, the World Konkani Centre, Shaktinagar, is undertaking the Konkani Text Corpus Project. The project, which is already underway and is likely to be completed within a few months, aims to add 2,000 small sample write-ups of 100 words each in GSB Konkani, along with equivalent translations in English. It will be available online, accessible from anywhere in the world. B Devadas Pai, coordinator of the project, explained the need to go digital with the Konkani Text Corpus. He said that before Portuguese rule began in Goa, Konkani was the spoken language of those who migrated southwards. Over the past five to six centuries, it has been losing its linguistic documentation. As a result, the GSB Konkani people here have been distancing themselves from the Konkani of Goa. This unique dialect is considered the original form of Konkani, closely related to Prakrit. The World Konkani Centre is now actively working in this direction and has undertaken a project to prepare a large-scale text corpus. The project involves collecting around 2,000 samples using sources such as Konkani traditions, the day-to-day life of GSB Konkani-speaking individuals, wedding rituals, folklore songs, and selected parts of literary works by authors. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Access all TV channels anywhere, anytime Techno Mag Learn More Undo The project will also include subtopics such as cultural rituals, funeral rites, naming ceremonies for babies, and lullabies sung while rocking a cradle. "We have selected an age group above 40 to 60 years for the project, who will write and provide the sample text. The exercise will provide us with Konkani sentences as well as a large vocabulary collection and help to preserve the language," he said. To carry out the project, selected individuals from various parts of undivided Dakshina Kannada, including Konkani graduates, postgraduates, and literature enthusiasts, have been trained over several rounds to prepare 100-word articles from various fields. Each article will have a headline with at least four words, ensuring it is easily available while browsing. These writings will be in the Devanagari script registered with the UGC, accompanied by an English translation. Nandagopal Shenoy, the president of the World Konkani Centre, has taken a special interest in this initiative, according to Pai. The corpus will assist in studying which words are most frequently used in the language, collected from various sources.

1,855 trees cut without permission in Mohali: DFO to NGT
Mohali: The district forest officer (DFO) has informed the National Green Tribunal (NGT) that 1,855 trees were cut in Mohali area without mandatory permission. He informed that this happened outside the jurisdiction of the forest department and the land in question was not classified as forest land. In a written reply submitted to the NGT, DFO Kanwar Deep Singh clarified that the land where the felling occurred falls under a non-forest category, and thus, the forest department had no authority to regulate or prevent cutting of trees on it. "The forest department does not have jurisdiction over the said land since it is not a forest area," stated the DFO. The issue came to light in the wake of a petition filed by the Environment Protection Society, through its president, Harbhajan Singh Minhas and Save My Trees Foundation coordinator, Daljit Singh. The complaint raised serious environmental concerns over large-scale felling of trees in the district. According to the DFO's report, although the department was asked to assess the trees on non-forest land, permission for felling of trees was not granted. "It was clearly mentioned in our correspondence that the assessment does not constitute special permission or a No Objection Certificate (NoC). As per procedure, permission must be obtained from the competent authority of the respective department," the reply stated. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Could Be the Best Time to Trade Gold in 5 Years IC Markets Learn More Undo The forest officer assessed the reserve value of the felled trees and 21 poles at around Rs 69 lakh. He proposed that this amount may be imposed as environmental compensation under the Environmental Protection Act, 1986. However, he noted that enforcement of environmental compensation lies within the purview of the Punjab State Pollution Control Board or the department of environment, not the forest department. "As provisions related to environmental compensation fall under the Environment Protection Act, the agency concerned may be directed to take necessary steps," the DFO stated. In a strong recommendation for environmental restoration, the forest department has suggested planting 10 times the number of saplings in place of the cut trees. "To ensure environmental protection and prevent pollution, we advise that 18,550 tree saplings be planted. These can be procured from forest department nurseries," said the DFO. The matter now rests with the NGT and environmental authorities, with further directions awaited on compensatory measures and accountability of agencies involved in the unauthorised tree felling.
