Fodder on tractor gutted after coming in contact with live wire in Hanur
Chamarajnagar: Fodder loaded on a tractor was completely gutted after it accidentally came in contact with a live electric wire at Peddanapalya village in Hanur taluk on Thursday. No injuries were reported in the incident.
According to sources, the tractor belonged to Siddaraju, a farmer from Peddanapalya, who was returning home after purchasing fodder for his cattle. While the tractor was moving, the fodder came into contact with a live electric wire, triggering a fire.
The flames spread rapidly due to the dry fodder and the movement of the tractor. On noticing the fire, Siddaraju immediately drove the tractor to a safer location near a water source. Local villagers rushed to the spot and helped douse the flames by pouring water.
Siddaraju escaped without any injuries. However, the entire load of fodder was destroyed in the fire.

Vijay unable to prove majority, not invited for CM oath ceremony: Sources
Chennai: Actor-politician Vijay has reportedly not been invited to take oath as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu after failing to demonstrate support from the required number of MLAs, sources in Raj Bhavan said.
According to media reports that quoted sources in the office of R.N. Ravi Arlekar, Vijay could not prove the backing of 118 legislators, the majority mark in the 234-member Tamil Nadu Assembly.
Despite last-minute efforts to secure support from the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazagam (AMMK), and an IUML legislator, Vijay reportedly managed support from only 116 MLAs, falling short by two members.
Sources said Vijay failed to submit letters of support from the VCK and the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML).
Later, the IUML issued a statement clarifying that it was not part of the TVK-led alliance.
Meanwhile, AMMK leader T.T.V. Dhinakaran is also said to have informed the Governor that his party would support the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) instead.
Earlier in the evening, Vijay had met Governor Arlekar and staked claim to form the government, stating that he enjoyed the support of 118 MLAs.
