Speaker hails Siddaramaiah government
Bengaluru, May 25: KR Ramesh Kumar who was elected as the Speaker of the Assembly here on Friday, hailed the Siddaramaiah government and its governance.
After being elected as the Speaker, Ramesh Kumar said that “as a politician, I want to tell about one thing. I am not telling this as a Speaker or a representative of a political party. Siddaramaiah has implemented various programmes without violating the financial responsibility. He has made financial arrangements to all programmes and ensured that no cheques were bounced. After Ashok Mitra who was the finance minister in Communist government in West Bengal, Siddaramaiah was the next finance minister who has most discipline in financial aspect”, he said.
Ramesh Kumar also advised Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy to get advice from Siddaramaiah who served as the finance minister in the previous governments and it would help the coalition government.

Army operationalises 3D concrete printing tech for quick construction of bunkers, sentry posts
Gangtok (PTI): The Indian Army, in collaboration with IIT Hyderabad, has operationalised on-site 3D concrete printing technology for quick construction of bunkers, sentry posts and protective structures in forward areas of Sikkim, a Defence statement said.
The capability -- already proven in other operational areas earlier -- has been effectively employed by the Trishakti Corps in the Himalayan state, it said.
"The indigenous robotic 3D concrete printer, equipped with a robotic arm, circular mixer, piston pump and generator, is fully vehicle-portable and optimised for rapid movement in mountainous terrain," the statement said.
The printed structures have undergone live ballistic trials, validating their strength and protective performance.
The 3D concrete printing provides major operational advantages, including customised designs, enhanced blast and ballistic resistance, higher compressive strength, improved quality control, efficient use of local materials and rapid construction in tactically acceptable timelines.
It also supports terrain-specific designs and advanced camouflage needs.
The continued adoption of on-site 3D printing represents a significant leap in the Army's engineering and operational readiness, enabling fast, sustainable, and mission-oriented infrastructure development in challenging environments, it added.
