R. Ashok cautions against corruption in upcoming Mysuru Dussehra celebrations
Bengaluru: Opposition leader R. Ashok strongly attacked the state Congress government, urging that the upcoming Dussehra celebrations should not become a platform for another large-scale scam. Ashok expressed his concerns on the social networking site X, highlighting the need for transparency and integrity in the celebrations.
Ashok welcomed the government's decision to celebrate the Mysuru Dussehra festival with grandeur but warned against the corruption that marred last year's event. He referenced the controversy of previous year involving the Congress government, which allegedly demanded a commission from internationally renowned sarod player Pandit Taranath.
He stressed that this year’s Dussehra must be free from corruption to preserve the culture and heritage of Karnataka. Ashok emphasised that the festival, a symbol of Karnataka's rich cultural legacy, deserves to be celebrated with dedication and respect. He warned that failing to uphold these standards could lead to public discontent.

ಆದರೆ ಅದ್ಧೂರಿ ದಸರಾ, @INCKarnataka ಸರ್ಕಾರದದ ಮತ್ತೊಂದು ಅದ್ಧೂರಿ ಹಗರಣಕ್ಕೆ ವೇದಿಕೆ ಆಗದಿರಲಿ ಎನ್ನುವುದೇ ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರ ಆಶಯ.

Minor fire breaks out at M S Ramaiah Medical College Hospital, no one injured
Bengaluru (PTI): A minor fire broke out at M S Ramaiah Medical College Hospital at Mathikere here on Thursday, officials said.
Three fire tenders were rushed to the spot, they said.
"A minor fire broke out at the Cardiac Care Unit (CCU) on the first floor of the hospital. Four patients who were admitted in the CCU were immediately evacuated and shifted to safety. No patient or staff member was injured in the fire," a senior fire and emergency services department official said.
The fire has been extinguished.
"The patients are safe. All of them have been evacuated. The fire didn’t cause any injuries to anyone. It’s the first time something like this happened and we suspect it must have been due to a short circuit," said a hospital official.
