Karnataka government takes 30% commision even on grants allotted to Matts: Dingaleshwara Swamiji
Bagalkote: Shirahatti Jagadguru Fakeera Dingaleshwara Swamiji has accused that the corruption in the state has reached such a level where even the grant allotted for the Matts requires a 30% commission to be given before their release, he said.
Speaking at the concluding program of the Krishna-Mahadayi-Navali Sankalpa Yatre organized by the Uttara Karnataka Swabhimani Vedike at Badangadi in Bilagi Taluk on Sunday night, the Swamiji said, “Only after having taken a percentage from the grants allotted to the Matts, do any of the construction works begins. Otherwise it doesn’t “, he expressed his sadness.
“We have foolish governments coming in now. Only if the state’s farmers run a protest modelled after the farmers' protest in North India which continued without them admitting defeat to deaths and injuries, only then will we get food. Otherwise, we will not get anything. We have to become very clever”, Fakeera Dingaleshwara Swamiji urged the farmers.

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 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.
