Mysuru: Police denies permission for contentious Mahisha Dasara and Chamundi Betta Chalo events
Mysuru: Mysuru Police Commissioner B. Ramesh issued an order on Tuesday denying permission for both Mahisha Dasara and ‘Chamundi betta chalo’ celebrations citing possible threat to peace and order of the city.
The decision follows the controversy surrounding the Mahisha Dasara celebrations slated for October 13, the celebrations which were initiated by Dalits in 2015 but were halted during BJP’s regime. In response, Kodagu-Mysuru BJP MP Pratap Simha called for the ‘Chamundi betta chalo’ event, citing that the Mahisha Dasara celebration was an insult to the Goddess Chamundeshwari .
Both the Mahisha Dasara Committee and BJP City Committee had sought permission for their respective celebrations on October 13. However the Commissioner of Police denied permission in order to maintain peace and order in Mysuru city.
“Police permission for both the programs has been denied due to the possibility of a threat to the peace, law and order of Mysuru city if permission is granted to both the above programs,” said the Commissioner in a release.

US rules out use of nuclear weapons against Iran
Washington DC: The White House has reportedly ruled out the use of nuclear weapons against Iran, even as uncertainty continues over ongoing peace negotiations and a deadline set by US President Donald Trump approaches.
Issues bout a possible escalation had increased after US Vice President JD Vance said that the United States has “tools in our toolkit that we so far haven’t decided to use” in dealing with Iran.
His remarks came amid rising tensions and ahead of a deadline linked to peace efforts.
The situation has attracted attention as Trump warned Iran that its “whole civilization will die tonight tonight” if an agreement is not reached by Tuesday at 8 pm.
This statement led to speculation about the possibility of extreme military measures, including a nuclear strike.
Following Vance’s comments, the White House issued a clarification distancing itself from such interpretations. In a post on X, it said, "Literally nothing @VP said here 'implies' this, you absolute buffoons." In a later statement, it added that “only the president knows” what action will be taken regarding Iran.
Literally nothing @VP said here "implies" this, you absolute buffoons https://t.co/7JU3wXMaWX
