Karnataka Cabinet likely to approve Nagamohan Das report on August 7
The State Cabinet, which is expected to meet on Thursday, is likely to approve the recommendations of the commission headed by H.N. Nagamohan Das, which submitted its report on internal reservation for 101 Scheduled Castes in Karnataka to the government on Monday. According to leaked data, the report recommended 4% quota for Lambanis, Koramas, Korachas, and Bhovis (touchable communities) against the 4.5% recommended during the previous BJP government. It has provided 6% reservation for the Dalit left, 5% for the Dalit right, 1% to more than 40 nomadic tribes classified as micro communities and 1% for Adi Karnataka (AK), Adi Dravida (AD) and Adi Andhra (AA) communities. Lambani community leaders, including Legislative Assembly Deputy Speaker Rudrappa Lamani and former MLC Prakash Rathod, said that the community was 'disappointed' with the 4% quota recommended by the commission and demanded 5%, as more than 80% of the people have been living below the poverty line and as migrants. They claimed that there were several loopholes in the method adopted to collect the data of the community. Mr. Rathod questioned the authenticity of the data and claimed the Lambanis constituted 4.68% of the SC population in the State. Meanwhile, the Dalit left groups, which have been demanding internal reservation, have said that the government should implement the recommendations of the report at the earliest.

Rs 150 crore sanctioned for Tungabhadra barrage-cum-bridge to ease Haveri's water woes
HAVERI: The Karnataka Neeravari Nigam Limited (KNNL) sanctioned Rs 150 crore for building a barrage across the Tungabhadra River near Kancharagatti in Haveri taluk. The project received approval during the KNNL board of directors' meeting on Jan 25, 2025. The board advised submitting a DPR (detailed project report) to obtain govt administrative approval. KNNL allocated Rs 50 crore initially for the project and set aside Rs 50 lakh for DPR preparation. The initiative will support 17 tanks under the Budapanahalli Lift Irrigation scheme while addressing drinking water requirements in Guttal and Haveri city. Despite 28 years since the Haveri district's establishment, the city continues to face severe drinking water shortages. Although the Haveri City Municipal Council maintains water lifting facilities at the Tungabhadra River near Kancharagatti and Karjagi from the Varada River, both sources run dry during summer. The request for a barrage across the Tungabhadra River for drinking water has persisted for 20 years, with previous administrations taking no action. Currently, with support from deputy speaker and MLA Rudrappa Lamani and Haveri district minister Shivanand Patil, residents are optimistic about their longstanding request being fulfilled. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Esta nueva alarma con cámara es casi regalada en Almafuerte (ver precio) Verisure Undo Shivanand Patil said: "I will direct the officers concerned to call a tender for fixing an agency to prepare the DPR for constructing a barrage across the Tungabhadra River.
