Kalladka flyover opened for public use; NHAI permits vehicles on pilot basis
Bantwal: The flyover at Kalladka in the taluk was opened on Monday, June 2 for public use, after a long wait of around eight years, when the work continued on the stretch.
The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) permitted on pilot basis traffic movement on the 2.1-km long flyover that connects Mani to BC Road.
The construction work of the flyover on the 64-km long National Highway 75 stretch from BC Road till Addahole in Bantwal taluk had been started in 2017. The work, however, had been stalled repeatedly for various reasons and took eight years to complete.

Punishment for those disrupting assembly proceedings, warns Speaker UT Khader
Belagavi: Speaker U.T. Khader on Friday warned that members who disrupt Assembly proceedings by talking in their seats during debates will be made to sit in the House for an entire day as a disciplinary measure.
The warning came after the Question Hour, when Deputy Leader of the Opposition Arvind Bellad was permitted to initiate a discussion on the development of North Karnataka.
At this point, expelled BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal objected, stating that he had been seeking a debate for the past three days but had not been given an opportunity.

Responding to the objection, Speaker Khader said Bellad had already been granted permission and assured Yatnal that he would be allowed to speak at the next opportunity. He noted that even as a serious discussion was underway, several MLAs were speaking among themselves with their microphones on, disrupting the proceedings.
Expressing displeasure over the conduct of members, Khader likened the situation to football, where players receive red, yellow, or white cards for violations. Similarly, he said, the Assembly issues warning cards to members who disturb the House. If they fail to correct themselves despite repeated warnings, they would be required to remain seated in the Assembly hall for a full day as punishment, he stated.
