Traffic movement on Charmadi Ghat closed between 7 pm - 7 am
Chikkamagaluru: The District Deputy Commissioner on Thursday issued an order restricting traffic movement between evening 7:00 pm to 7:00 am at the Charmadi Ghat here.
The decision comes in the wake of constant rain the region has been receiving over the last few days triggering fear of landslides in the ghat.
The order by DC Dr. Gautam Bagadi stated that due to heavy rainfall there are chances of landslides and mudslides on the ghat and hence the decision to partially restrict traffic movement was taken.

Dalit journalist attacked for exposing sexual assault on minor boy
Jaisalmer: In a disturbing incident in Jaisalmer, a Dalit journalist, Heera Lal Meghwal, was reportedly assaulted for his coverage of the sexual assault of a minor boy. The assailants, allegedly acting on behalf of the accused who hails from an OBC community, targeted Meghwal due to his consistent reporting on the issue.
Four months ago, a minor boy fell victim to sexual assault, leading Meghwal to extensively cover the case. His efforts led to the arrest of the accused under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. However, on the night of May 12, Meghwal was ambushed by five individuals who subjected him to a brutal beating.
Jaisalmer's Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), Bhawani Singh, confirmed the arrest of one suspect, identified as Hari Singh Charan, while four others remain at large. Police are actively pursuing leads to arrest the remaining culprits.
Notably, Hari Singh Charan has a history of criminal activity, with prior cases registered against him under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, as well as for physical assault.
