B'luru stampede: Minister hands over Rs 25L cheque to victim's kin
Mandya: Mandya district minister N Cheluvarayaswamy on Sunday handed over a cheque for Rs 25 lakh to the next of kin of a youth who was killed in the Bengaluru stampede. He visited Poornachandra's house at Rayasamudra in KR Pete taluk and handed over the compensation cheque to his mother. The youth died during the RCB victory celebration held in Bengaluru. KR Pete MLA HT Manju and deputy commissioner Kumara accompanied the minister. Poornachandra, 28, the only son of Chandru and Kanthamma, was in Bengaluru on June 4 to meet a prospective bride — a visit that ended in unimaginable tragedy. The body was brought back to his hometown in KR Pet in the early hours of June 5, and his final rites were performed at the family's farmland in Rayasamudra village.

A donkey leads the way in Siddu Poornachandra's Puttannana Katthe
Director Siddu Poornachandra, known for films like Daari Yavudayya Vaikunthakke, Brahmakamala, and Taarini, has unveiled his next feature, Puttannana Katthe. And no, this isn't your typical tale of heroism—this time, it's a donkey (katthe) taking centre stage. 'Move over, dogs, I have found a hero in a humble donkey,' says the director, setting the tone for this refreshingly unique narrative. The first-look poster, released, showcases the donkey in the poster—a creative choice the team calls both symbolic and significant. Speaking about what sparked the idea, Poornachandra shared, 'Everyone makes films about dogs—so I thought, why not tell a story through a katthe (donkey)? That's when the idea for this film truly came alive.'
