Yadgir district authorities refuse permission to RSS to hold guard of honour in Gurmatkal
Yadgir: Deputy Commissioner Harshal Bhoyar has denied permission to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) to hold a guard of honour on the streets of Gurmathkal on Saturday afternoon.
This is the second such instance of refusal of permission to the RSS for a guard of honour, after the Kalaburagi district administration rejected an RSS application to hold the event in Chittapur on October 19.
Yadgir DC Bhoyar has cited lack of enough time between submission of the application and the date of the event as the reason for denial of permission.
“It is mandatory for an applicant to seek for permission in writing at least three days before an event is held on government premises and public places, but the RSS has failed to follow this rule,” the officer clarified.
Yadgir District Chief Convener of the RSS Basappa Sanjanol reportedly handed Gurmatkal Tahsildar Shantagowda Biradar the application for permission to hold the guard of honour on October 21. The tahsildar told Sanjanol to take permission from the concerned authority. The chief convener requested permission from the district administration on October 23, but the application was rejected as it was submitted too late.

NEET student hangs self in Rajasthan's Sikar
Jaipur (PTI): A student preparing for the NEET examination allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself in a rented room in Rajasthan's Sikar on Friday, police said.
According to the police, the student allegedly hanged himself from a ceiling fan using his sister's scarf while one sister was attending coaching classes and the other was in the bathroom.
He had appeared in the NEET UG exam 2026, which was cancelled due to paper leak, they said.
Udyog Nagar SHO Rajesh Kumar said that the deceased, identified as Pradeep Meghwal, was a resident of Kanika ki Dhani village in Jhunjhunu's Gudha Gaudji area.
He had been living in a rented room in Sikar's Jaldhari Nagar area with his two sisters while preparing for NEET over the last three years.
His elder sister later found him hanging and informed the landlord and police after bringing him down, officials said.
The SHO said the body was kept at SK Hospital mortuary, and a postmortem had not been conducted.
The student's father, Rajesh Kumar Meghwal, told police that Pradeep's NEET examination had gone well and the family was expecting him to score around 650 marks.
Former Rajasthan deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot expressed grief over the incident and linked it to anxiety among students after reports of irregularities and paper leaks in NEET 2026.
Pilot said repeated paper leak incidents and cancellation of examinations were affecting students' mental health and demanded a time-bound investigation and strict action against those responsible.
