CD of Beary ghazals ‘Pernal Sandola’, ‘Kinadi’ released
Mangaluru: Urban Development Minister UT Khader said that he has submitted a proposal to the Kannada and Culture department minister to increase the grants from existing Rs 70 lakh to Rs 1 crore to all academies, including the Beary Academy and it could be announced in the next budget.
Releasing the CDs of ghazals ‘Pernal Sandola’ and ‘Kinadi’ at Kudmul Rangarao town hall here on Monday, he said that at one time, there was no money and place to release Beary Cassette. But later, the situation was improved through Beary Sahitya Academy and other organizations. Now, various programmes were being conducted through the Academy. Though Beary Ghazal, the Beary Music has reached a landmark stage. The music has no boundary of caste and religion, he said adding that the culture should expand by give and take policy.
Beary Academy president Karambar Muhammed presided over the programme.
‘Beary grammer book to be released shortly’
In the last one and half year, the Beary Academy has done a good job. Today, the ghazal CD was released and shortly, a grammer book of the Beary language would be released, said Academy chairman Karambar Muhammed.

Farmers' agitation: SC asks high-powered committee to submit recommendations
New Delhi (PTI): The Supreme Court on Friday asked a high-powered committee, which was constituted to amicably resolve the grievances of the farmers who held an agitation at the Shambhu border between Punjab and Haryana in 2024, to submit its report-cum-recommendations.
The farmers were protesting over a plethora of demands, including a legal guarantee on the minimum support price (MSP) for their produce.
A bench of Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi noted that the matter involving the blockade of highways, particularly at the Shambhu border, stands resolved and vehicles are plying there without any obstruction.
"It seems to us that the matter is now ripe to close these proceedings. This can be done after obtaining a report from the high-powered committee containing their brief suggestions, which can then be forwarded to the appropriate authorities," the bench said.
"We impress upon the committee to submit its report-cum-recommendations...," it added.
The bench said the report-cum-recommendations should be in a sealed cover and the committee would not divulge its content in the public domain until further orders of the court.
The five-member high-powered committee is headed by former Punjab and Haryana High Court judge Nawab Singh.
In September 2024, observing that the farmers' protest should not be politicised, the apex court constituted the committee to amicably resolve their grievances.
The top court had said the issues facing the farmers should not be politicised and be considered by the committee in a phased manner.
The court had passed the order while hearing the Haryana government's plea challenging the Punjab and Haryana High Court's March 2024 order, asking it to remove within a week the barricades erected at the Shambhu border, near Ambala, where the protesting farmers were camping since February 13, 2024.
The Haryana government had set up barricades on the Ambala-New Delhi national highway in February 2024, after the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-Political) and Kisan Mazdoor Morcha announced that the farmers would march to Delhi in support of their demands.
