Minister Parameshwara to meet Dalit MLAs to chalk out strategy to handle fallout of SC Survey
BENGALURU: Home Minister Dr G Parameshwara has called a meeting of the Dalit legislators at his residence here on August 2 over high tea to discuss various issues, including the Scheduled Caste communities' survey which was carried out by the Justice HN Nagmohandas Commission to provide the internal reservation. The Commission is likely to submit its report to the government on August 4, according to sources, which may escalate tension among various SC communities. The report is likely to consist of recommendation of the classification of the quota among the 101 castes under SC category proportional to their population. 'The survey is complete and I have sought the time of the chief minister to submit my report to the government,' Nagmohan Das told TNIE. RDPR minister Priyank Kharge confirmed that Parameshwara has called a meeting to discuss the survey. The meeting is likely to discuss probable repercussions of the report as it would trigger controversies over the population of the communities and per centage of quota allotted to them in the report.

Bengaluru group's campaign fights for I-Day celebration without balloons
BENGALURU: Prick that bad practice of celebrating with balloons. The NoBalloonPlease campaign is trying to persuade citizens and state governments to celebrate this Independence Day without balloons, but with earth-friendly decorations made of cloth, paper or flowers which can be reused recycled or composted. Odette Katrak, an environment and sustainability changemaker and her Beautiful Bharat citizen volunteer group is running the campaign. Katrak told TNIE, 'The campaign began in 2018. In 2020 during the lockdown, many people replaced balloons with DIY decorations from newspapers. In 2023, we launched the 'No Balloons Please' petition on addressed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, to explain the environmental impact and suggesting alternatives which also help livelihoods. The petition has got 72,000 supporters.' 'As part of this year's campaign, we are reaching out to Chief Ministers and Chief Secretaries, a priority set by Almitra Patel, well known for her pioneering work around waste,' Katrak said 'Balloons are made of dyes and chemicals. They are non-biodegradable and become non-recoverable garbage. They cannot be recycled, merge with soil and pollute the groundwater and other water bodies where they end up, and cause distress to birds, animals, and a choking hazard to infants. On the civic front, balloons can touch power cables and cause explosions', said Katrak. 'We are people to replace balloons with paper, cloth and flower decorations this Independence Day onwards, also helping vendors,' she said. She urged people to help spread the message and support NoBalloonPlease petition on

White grub infestation in Dharmapuri sugarcane fields
DHARMAPURI: Sugarcane fields across Dharmapuri district have slowly started to turn a yellowish brown hue over the past few weeks. While one might assume this to be caused by lack of nutrients or due to arid, dry climatic conditions prevailing in Dharmapuri, but this is not the case. The aforementioned sign is one of the symptoms of the damage done by white grubs, the larvae of scarab beetles. Farmers have blamed the spread of the insect on the mills and the agriculture department's failure to identify the infestation, which is spread across the district. White grubs afflict the root of sugarcane. Speaking to TNIE, S Chinnasamy, a sugarcane farmer, said, "The two mills in the district, the Dharmapuri Cooperative Sugarmill (DCS) and the Subramaniya Siva Cooperative Sugarmill (SSCS), have affixed a total target of 12,000 acres for cane cultivation across the district. White grubs have been feeding off the roots of the sugarcane, leading to the wilting of our sugarcane. Farmers stand to lose their sugarcanes. The situation is dire, especially considering the investments we have put into the cultivation. Each farmer has invested somewhere between Rs 20,000 per acre for cultivation, and if the infestation is not curbed, we stand to face massive losses". G Murali, a farmer from Morappur, said, "The white grub infestation should have been identified much earlier. Even the fields cultivated by the SSCS are affected. The lack of timely awareness is the cause of the infestation. While it is true that we have faced these insects in the past, most farmers are struggling to control the spread of insects. So it is only a matter of time till we lose our crops".
