BJP expels MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal from party for 6 years
Bengaluru: The Bharatiya Janata Party has expelled Vijayapura MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal from the primary membership of the party for a period of 6 years on charges of violating party discipline.
Yatnal was recently issued a show-cause notice for repeatedly defying party directives. Although he had responded to the notice and assured the party leadership that he would maintain discipline, he allegedly continued to violate the party’s code of conduct.
Given his repeated actions, the BJP leadership has decided to expel him with immediate effect, BJP Central Disciplinary Committee Secretary Om Pathak said in a statement.

11 more bodies retrieved from Arunachal accident site
Itanagar (PTI): Eleven more bodies were retrieved on Saturday from the deep gorge in Arunachal Pradesh's Anjaw district, where a mini-truck on which 22 labourers from Assam were travelling fell, an official said.
With this, 17 bodies have been recovered from the accident site, Anjaw's deputy commissioner Milo Kojin said.
He said three more bodies will be brought out on Sunday.
The operation, being conducted by a joint team of the NDRF and Army, resumed at 6 am.

"The retrieval process was extremely difficult because of the treacherous terrain, and the gorge is very deep," Kojin said.
The operation was suspended around 4 pm due to low visibility and will be resumed on Sunday morning, he said.
"One person is still missing, and a search operation will be carried out tomorrow," he added.
The accident happened on the evening of December 8, around 40 km from Hayuliang towards Chaglagam in the district. On the evening of December 10, one survivor managed to climb out of the gorge and reach a nearby Border Roads Task Force (BRTF) labour camp, following which the authorities were alerted.
Six bodies were recovered from the gorge on Friday and handed over to their families on Saturday.
