R. Ashok cautions against corruption in upcoming Mysuru Dussehra celebrations
Bengaluru: Opposition leader R. Ashok strongly attacked the state Congress government, urging that the upcoming Dussehra celebrations should not become a platform for another large-scale scam. Ashok expressed his concerns on the social networking site X, highlighting the need for transparency and integrity in the celebrations.
Ashok welcomed the government's decision to celebrate the Mysuru Dussehra festival with grandeur but warned against the corruption that marred last year's event. He referenced the controversy of previous year involving the Congress government, which allegedly demanded a commission from internationally renowned sarod player Pandit Taranath.
He stressed that this year’s Dussehra must be free from corruption to preserve the culture and heritage of Karnataka. Ashok emphasised that the festival, a symbol of Karnataka's rich cultural legacy, deserves to be celebrated with dedication and respect. He warned that failing to uphold these standards could lead to public discontent.

ಆದರೆ ಅದ್ಧೂರಿ ದಸರಾ, @INCKarnataka ಸರ್ಕಾರದದ ಮತ್ತೊಂದು ಅದ್ಧೂರಿ ಹಗರಣಕ್ಕೆ ವೇದಿಕೆ ಆಗದಿರಲಿ ಎನ್ನುವುದೇ ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರ ಆಶಯ.

UP: Misled by GPS navigation, car falls into river from partially constructed bridge, 3 dead
Bareilly (UP), Nov 24: Three people died when their car fell into the Ramganga river from a partially constructed bridge here on Sunday, police said, adding that they suspect the driver was misled by its navigation system into taking the unsafe route.
The accident occurred around 10 am on the Khalpur-Dataganj road when the victims were travelling from Bareilly to Dataganj in the Badaun district, they said.
"Earlier this year, floods had caused the front portion of the bridge to collapse into the river, but this change had not been updated in the system," Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam said.
The driver was using a navigation system and did not realise that the bridge was unsafe, driving the car off the damaged section, the police said.
There were no safety barriers or warning signs on the approach to the damaged bridge, leading to the fatal accident, Shivam said.
Upon receiving information, police teams from Faridpur, Bareilly and Dataganj police station rushed to the spot. They recovered the vehicle and the bodies from the river, Shivam added.
The circle officer said that bodies had been sent for post-mortem. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
