State government is not bankrupt: CM Kumaraswamy
Funds to Hampi Utsav
Bengaluru: “The state government has not issued any direction regarding Hampi Utsav. However, I would direct the authorities to celebrate the Utsav in a simple manner if people want”, said Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy.
Speaking to reporters at the Vidhana Soudha here on Tuesday, the CM said that the district in-charge minister and the MLAs have discussed with him about cancelling the Hampi Utsav following drought situation. But the government has not taken any decision yet.
"The state government was not that bankrupt. But the entire state knows that up to which extent these people have looted Ballary and now they are saying that they would beg and collect money for celebrating Hampi Utsava," MLA Somashekar Reddy hit back to former minister Janardhan Reddy’s statements.

4 workers die after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad
Dhanbad (Jharkhand) (PTI): At least four workers died after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad district on Saturday, a police official said.
The incident took place at Moonidih coal washery in the command area of Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL).
"Bodies of all four workers were dug out of debris during a rescue operation," Putki police station in-charge Waqar Hussain told PTI.
The incident took place when coal slurry was being loaded into trucks by workers, during which a large chunk of slurry fell and trapped several workers underneath, officials said.
The deceased have been identified as Manik Bauri, Dinesh Bauri, Deepak Bauri, and Hemlal Gope.
Meanwhile, the family members of the deceased and local villagers placed the bodies in front of the washery gate and began a protest.
They demanded compensation, jobs for dependents and action against those responsible for the incident.
Police and administration officials are trying to pacify the protesters, an official said.
