Temporary visitor restrictions imposed at Parasurama Theme Park starting October 9
Udupi: Karkala Tahsildar has issued an order temporarily banning the entry of tourists and the public to the Parasurama Theme Park located under Yarlapadi Gram Panchayat limits in Karkala Taluk. This ban will remain in effect from August 9th and will continue until the end of November.
The Parasurama Theme Park was inaugurated on January 27th earlier this year and was initially opened to the public and tourists. However, due to pending work at the theme park, entry was prohibited until September 23rd. This temporary closure was made to facilitate the completion of various tasks, including increasing the strength of the Parashurama idol, installing a lightning arrester, applying anti-rust coating, and conducting other finishing works on the idol.
Meanwhile, since the construction work has not been completed yet, additional time is needed to finish the pending tasks. As a result, the theme park will remain closed until the end of November 2023, as per the order.

Man allegedly arrives with deadly weapon to attack another, caught by public in Jokatte
Panambur: A man who allegedly came armed to attack another person was caught by members of the public and later handed over to police in Jokatte late on Friday night.
The accused has been identified as Naveen Poojari, originally from Vamanjoor and presently residing in Jokatte.
According to police sources, Naveen was married and has an eight-year-old son. The couple are now divorced.
Police said Naveen suspected that his former wife, who is employed at a showroom in Padil, was moving closely with Devi Prasad Acharya, a mechanic working there.
Based on this suspicion, Naveen allegedly went to the house of Devi Prasad Acharya on Friday night carrying a deadly weapon, created a scene and issued threats.
During the incident, Devi Prasad Acharya reportedly contacted the 112 emergency helpline, following which Naveen fled from the spot.
While escaping, Naveen is said to have fallen from his two-wheeler near the Jokatte Panchayat area. Local residents who rushed to help noticed a deadly weapon on the vehicle and immediately alerted police.
Officials from Panambur Police Station rushed to the spot, took Naveen into custody and brought him to the station.
A case has been registered based on the complaint filed by Devi Prasad Acharya, and further action is under way.
