Karnataka Government has imposed ‘unofficial emergency in the state: CT Ravi
Calls CM Kumaraswamy “crying star”
Bengaluru: BJP State General Secretary CT Ravi on Friday said that the Congress-JD(S) coalition government in the state has unofficially imposed emergency in the state.
In a tweet from his official twitter handle, Ravi also referred Karnataka CM HD Kumaraswamy as “Crying star”.
The tweet came in the wake of arrest of Ajith Shetty Heranje in connection with sharing fake news against the Chief Minister. He was arrested along with a correspondent of UKsuddi.in news portal followed by a complaint by Dinesh H B, media secretary to the CM.
Ravi further added that the attack on BJP supporters will be the last nail in the coffin of Congress-JD(S) alliance government.
In his complaint, Mr. Dinesh said that Mr. Kumaraswamy had gone to Kaup in Udupi district for two days for naturopathy treatment. On April 24 , the portal allegedly published morphed photos of Mr. Kumaraswamy and actor Radhika with a false write-up that the duo were at a resort in Udupi.
Ajith Shetty had taken a screen shot of the news clip and posted it on his social media account.

Sound effect: Farmers play music on solar-powered speakers to keep tigers at bay in Pilibhit
Pilibhit (UP) (PTI): Farmers living in villages adjoining the Mala range of Pilibhit Tiger Reserve have devised an unusual method to keep tigers away from their fields during sugarcane harvesting – playing loud music on solar-powered sound systems.
According to the farmers, the continuous noise helps deter wild animals from entering their fields.
As sugarcane fields are dense and the visibility is low, the risk of sudden encounters with tigers remains high during the harvesting season.
Forest officials described the initiative as a “desi jugaad” that not only enhances safety but also adds an element of entertainment, with loud music echoing across the fields during work hours.
The method has emerged as a unique way to check human-animal conflict.
Ramnagaria, Ajitpur, Jamunia, Mahua, Mala Ghera, Richhola and Basantapur are among the villages located close to the Mala range that frequently witness tiger movement, keeping the residents on edge. Recently, fresh tiger pugmarks were found in a field in Mahua.

According to forest officials, Krishna Kumar and his associates in Jamunia village pioneered the “musical” method to deal with the threat.
“Working in the dense sugarcane fields is risky business. We believe wild animals move away due to noise, so playing songs loudly helps keep them at a distance,” Kumar said.
The method is proving effective, enabling farmers to carry out agricultural activities in groups without fear, the villagers said.
Several farmers, including Gaurishankar, Tinku, Ram Bahadur, Rakesh Kumar, Prabhu Dayal and Lalaram, have joined Kumar in implementing this innovative approach.
Deputy Ranger Sher Singh said the forest department is also making continuous efforts to spread awareness among the villagers.
“The department is organising meetings to educate farmers about safe and scientific methods to protect themselves from wildlife,” he told reporters.
