KMF job candidate duped: Bengaluru police arrest Kannada film producer
Bengaluru: Adugodi Police officers have arrested Kannada film producer Prakash, who has been accused of duping a man after promising him a job in the Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF).
The producer, who has funded a Kannada movie with Pramod Shetty in the lead, had allegedly promised to get Charan, a native of Chikkaballapur district, a job as an officer in the technical division of KMF if paid Rs 20 lakh. He had also received an advance of Rs 10 lakh from Charan.
The written examinations for various posts in KMF were conducted in December. Prakash, duplicating the official standard of the KMF director, handed the appointment order to Charan.

Toxic waste from 1984 Bhopal gas tragedy to be transported today
Indore: The process of transporting toxic waste from the 1984 Bhopal gas tragedy began early on Sunday. Approximately 337 tonnes of hazardous waste will be moved 225 km to Pithampur, where it will be incinerated and safely disposed of.
Director of Bhopal Gas Tragedy Relief and Rehabilitation, Swatantra Kumar Singh, has already written to senior officials in Indore, Bhopal, and Dhar, urging them to prepare for the operation. Several GPS-equipped trucks have been deployed to transport the waste.
On December 3, the Madhya Pradesh High Court directed that this dangerous waste be disposed of within four weeks. The toxic materials, stored at the now-closed Union Carbide factory, had remained untreated for decades. The court criticised officials for the delay, stating, "Are you waiting for another disaster?"
The waste disposal process involves two stages: incineration and secure burial. Once transported, the waste will be handled by Pithampur Industrial Waste Management Private Limited, located near Tarapur village in Pithampur. An initial test incineration of 35.6 tonnes will be conducted to determine the safest and most efficient method. Sources indicate that trial runs will incinerate the waste at rates of 135 kg/hour, 80 kg/hour, and 270 kg/hour. Based on the results, the remaining waste will be disposed of accordingly.
