Shivamogga, October 27: In a sudden development, the city corporation commissioner has locked the newly opened mall on the double road near Alkola on the outskirts of the city on Saturday.

Though the building is under construction, the mall owner has started the mall without even getting required permission from the City Corporation and started doing business. Against this, some organizations have lodged a complaint with City Corporation Commissioner Charulatha Somal and alleged that the Mall is being operated illegally.

Following the complaint, the Commissioner served a notice to the Commercial organization. Since the organization failed to give satisfactory answer to the notice, the city corporation officials have locked the mall as per the direction of the Commissioner. Now, woke up to the action, the mall authorities have filed application seeking licence for running the business, sources said.

New Delhi: An Indian CEO has triggered widespread debate on social media after reportedly spending Rs 14 lakh on a Louis Vuitton suitcase designed for his dog. Ajay Thakore, CEO of Doctor Multimedia, shared a video on Instagram showcasing the extravagant purchase, which has since drawn mixed reactions.

In the video, Thakore is seen entering a Louis Vuitton store, stating, "I think my dog has something to pick up." He then reveals the "Bone Trunk," a bone-shaped, hard-shell suitcase complete with a varnished wooden tray and two bowls. The video’s caption read, "Aspen's always spending money like there's no tomorrow. $20k Louis Vuitton bone trunk."

The post quickly went viral, with many users expressing shock and disbelief. Some criticized the CEO’s indulgence, questioning the morality of spending such a large sum on a pet accessory when pressing issues like poverty and animal welfare exist. Comments ranged from disbelief to sharp criticism, with one user remarking, "Imagine how far $20k would go at an animal rescue." Others viewed it as a reflection of societal excess, calling it a "grotesque illustration of what's wrong in society."

However, Thakore also found support from some users, who defended his right to spend his wealth as he pleased. One commenter noted the irony of criticism coming from people who indulge in expensive gadgets, writing, "It's funny how many condemn this spending yet think nothing of buying an $800 iPhone without considering charity."
