Mandya, Feb 27: Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy said that though Ambarish had worked as the union and state minister, he has contributed nothing for the development of Mandya district.

Inaugurating various development works worth Rs 5,000 crore in the district at the government college here on Wednesday, he said that golden jubilee celebration was held under the leadership of Ambarish and then he was also invited for the programme. But it was just an orchestra and nothing more than that, he ridiculed.

“I have respect towards Ambarish. But more than that, because of the attachment of the people, he had brought his dead body to Mandya. If he did not take that decision on that day, his fans would going to miss the darshan of his body, he said.

Unfortunately, those who opposed to bring the body of Ambarish to his own district, were showing their love towards this land. “Did I ever discuss about fielding my son to the election? Love from my state people is enough for me, not position”, he said.

Dhanbad (Jharkhand) (PTI): At least four workers died after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad district on Saturday, a police official said.

The incident took place at Moonidih coal washery in the command area of Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL).

"Bodies of all four workers were dug out of debris during a rescue operation," Putki police station in-charge Waqar Hussain told PTI.

The incident took place when coal slurry was being loaded into trucks by workers, during which a large chunk of slurry fell and trapped several workers underneath, officials said.

The deceased have been identified as Manik Bauri, Dinesh Bauri, Deepak Bauri, and Hemlal Gope.

Meanwhile, the family members of the deceased and local villagers placed the bodies in front of the washery gate and began a protest.

They demanded compensation, jobs for dependents and action against those responsible for the incident.

Police and administration officials are trying to pacify the protesters, an official said.
