Minister MB Patil enjoys 'Namma Metro' journey from Vidhana Soudha to Mylasandra
Karnataka's Minister for Large and Medium Industries, MB Patil, expressed his satisfaction after taking a 'Namma Metro' journey from the Vidhana Soudha to Kengeri Bus Terminal in Bengaluru. The minister, on his way to attend an event at the JSS Education Institute in Mylasandra near Kengeri, shared a video clip of his metro journey on his personal X account.
During his interaction with the media, Patil shared his delight about the metro experience. He mentioned that despite being a working day, he decided to travel on the metro line, even though his residential area has yet to be connected to the 'Namma Metro' network.
Patil, who engaged with fellow passengers during the journey, highlighted the efficiency of the metro service. He emphasized that the metro allowed him to travel from Vidhana to Mylasandra in just 30 minutes, showcasing the rapid and convenient transport it provides.
Speaking about his conversations with other passengers, Patil noted that the metro had eased travel within the city, bypassing the challenges of heavy traffic—a persistent issue in large cities.

Punishment for those disrupting assembly proceedings, warns Speaker UT Khader
Belagavi: Speaker U.T. Khader on Friday warned that members who disrupt Assembly proceedings by talking in their seats during debates will be made to sit in the House for an entire day as a disciplinary measure.
The warning came after the Question Hour, when Deputy Leader of the Opposition Arvind Bellad was permitted to initiate a discussion on the development of North Karnataka.
At this point, expelled BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal objected, stating that he had been seeking a debate for the past three days but had not been given an opportunity.

Responding to the objection, Speaker Khader said Bellad had already been granted permission and assured Yatnal that he would be allowed to speak at the next opportunity. He noted that even as a serious discussion was underway, several MLAs were speaking among themselves with their microphones on, disrupting the proceedings.
Expressing displeasure over the conduct of members, Khader likened the situation to football, where players receive red, yellow, or white cards for violations. Similarly, he said, the Assembly issues warning cards to members who disturb the House. If they fail to correct themselves despite repeated warnings, they would be required to remain seated in the Assembly hall for a full day as punishment, he stated.
