Chikmagaluru, June 15: Newly elected member of the Legislative Council from the South-West Teachers Constituency, SL Bhoje Gowda said that though he was representing the teachers community, he would make honest efforts to solve the burning problems of the district as well.
During his first visit to Chikmagalur after winning the election on Thursday, Bhoje Gowda told reporters that though the BJP candidate has been representing the constituency, he failed to solve the problems of teachers and lecturers. This has helped him win the election. As he has won the hearts of the teaching fraternity of the constituency, he won the election and this victory has doubled his responsibilities. He would give priority for the problems of the district, he said appealing the opposition parties and leaders to support him.
Political power is not permanent. But the works done when the persons are in power are permanent. Plain areas in the district have acute water problem, while malnad region has its own problems. He would make honest efforts to solve the problems. He has already discussed with the Chief Minister and the Irrigation Minister who will visit the district soon to get the details on irrigation projects and finding solutions to them, he said.
When HD Kumaraswamy was the chief minister earlier, he had introduced Karagada drinking water problem which was not yet completed. Now, he is the Chief Minister in the coalition government and now it is the right time to finish the project. He has already discussed with the Minor Irrigation Minister on Ayyanakere and Madagadakere filling project, he said.
He also thanked all the teachers, lecturers, party leaders and workers for electing him as their representative.
JDS leaders Chandrappa, Manjappa, Bhyre Gowda, Jayaraj Urs, Ramesh, Deviprasad, Holadagadde Girish and others were present.

Belthangady: The Special Investigation Team (SIT) investigating the Dharmasthala mass burial case has taken the prime witness and complainant into the dense forest area near the Netravati bathing ghat in Dharmasthala to conduct a detailed spot inspection.
Under tight police security, the witness was brought to the bathing ghat area around noon. He initially pointed out a specific location near the ghat, following which the officers led him into the thick forest nearby for further verification.
The inspection inside the forest has been going on for over an hour. The witness is believed to have buried multiple bodies in this region, and SIT officers are now working to identify and mark these suspected sites.

Officials have indicated that this is the preliminary phase of the process, focusing on identifying potential burial sites.
