Belthangady: A young man from Bangalore who went missing during a trek in the Charmadi reserve forest in Belthangady taluk has been found safe by the police.
Dhanush, part of a 10-member trekking team from Bangalore, was reported missing after they were denied permission to trek in the forest. However, they managed to obtain permission through the recommendation of a police officer.
During the trek on Sunday, Dhanush and another person went missing from the group. While one person rejoined the group, Dhanush remained missing. The Belthangady police and Belur police initiated a search operation after being informed by the trekking team.
Dhanush's mobile network was traced to the dense forest, and he was found safe late at night.
Trekking in the Charmadi forest is prohibited due to its dangerous terrain and strict regulations. Despite this, outsiders often venture into the area for treks, putting themselves at risk. Previous incidents have highlighted the dangers of trekking in the forest.

New Delhi (PTI): Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Sunday launched a scathing attack on the BJP, saying those indulging in "vote chori" are "gaddars" and need to be removed from power to save the voting right and the Constitution.
Addressing the party's 'Vote Chor Gaddi Chhod' rally at the Ramlila Maidan here, Kharge said it is the duty of all Indians to unitedly strengthen Congress ideology as only this party can save the country.
He alleged that the RSS ideology will "finish the nation".

The Congress president also said that he did not go for his son's operation in Bengaluru and stayed to attend the rally as he thought it was important "to save 140 crore people".
