Govt to introduce English medium in 105 schools of Dharwad dist
Hubballi: The department of public education has taken steps to emphasise learning in English medium alongside Kannada by introducing English medium in govt schools. English medium learning will start in 105 schools in the district from the 2025-26 year. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Already, enrolment has started at 28 schools. Last year, teaching in English medium was introduced in 65 schools in the district, but there was no proper response. Earlier, there was demand from parents to start English medium in govt schools. Parents want their children to be fluent in English for more opportunities in the future. To meet parents' demands across the state, English medium in govt schools has been initiated. According to a source in the education department, the govt initially issued an order to open English medium schools and enrol 40 children. However, following the demand from parents for additional enrolment, a new order was issued, removing the limit. The education department has provided training to the teachers required to teach in English at schools with English medium. Ten children were enrolled for English medium education at Singanahalli Govt School in Dharwad taluk. Similarly, 12 children were enrolled in Belur Govt School, 30 in Managundi Govt School, 15 in Kotur Govt School, 13 in Shivalli Govt School, 14 in Honnapur Govt School, 12 in Manasur Govt School, and 10 children were enrolled in GHPS Model School in Dharwad for class 1 under English medium.

Katy Perry's ex takes cheeky jab at her romance buzz with Justin Trudeau: ‘Friends or not?'
Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry seemed to make an 'instant connection' over dinner and then at a concert last month. The singer's ex-fiance, Orlando Bloom, is apparently enjoying the buzz around the new rumored romance. While there is no concrete evidence to confirm Trudeau and Perry's relationship status, reports suggest that they are 'interested in each other'. Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom appear at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Beverly Hills(Evan Agostini/Invision/AP) The former Canadian prime minister and the pop star were recently seen enjoying dinner in Montreal, and Trudeau also attended her sold-out Lifetimes Tour concert at Bell Centre. PEOPLE quoted a source saying that the two had an 'instant connection', but any relationship between them is in the 'early stages'. However, soon memes targeted Katy Perry's ex, Orlando Bloom. Orlando Bloom responds to viral post Satirical outlet The Onion poked fun at Perry's romance rumors with Trudeau by pretending to set Bloom up with another former world leader - Angela Merkel. 'Orlando Bloom Spotted At Dinner With Angela Merkel,' a headline from The Onion, shared on Friday, read. The Instagram post was accompanied by what appeared to be an AI-generated image of the actor and the former Chancellor of Germany enjoying a candlelit meal together. "Just weeks after announcing his split with fiancée Katy Perry, English actor Orlando Bloom was photographed Friday dining with former German Chancellor Angela Merkel,' the newspaper further joked. 'Angela kept Orlando laughing all night — he couldn't keep his eyes off her!' said an insider source who spotted the pair sipping wine, slurping oysters, and splitting a decadent piece of chocolate layer cake at a Michelin-starred restaurant,' it added. Orlando Bloom was quick to react. Rather than brushing off The Onion's joke, the actor applauded, commenting '👏👏👏' on the post. Bloom did not elaborate. Last month, PEOPLE cited a source to report that Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau have 'a lot in common'. 'They are interested in each other, but it will take a while to see where this goes. She is traveling around the world, and he is figuring out his life now that he is no longer prime minister of Canada, but there is an attraction. They have a lot in common,' the source said.

Lives at Risk in Bingidoddi: Residents Demand Action Over Dangling Power Lines and Official Negligence
Gadwal: Residents of Ward No. 12 in Bingidoddi village, Aija Mandal, Jogulamba Gadwal district, are living under a life-threatening situation due to the absence of proper electricity poles, resulting in dangerous electric wires hanging directly over residential homes. Locals, along with BJP Mandal President Gopalakrishna, raised serious concerns and demanded immediate intervention from the authorities. 'It has been over 25 years since this colony came into existence with over 200 houses, yet not a single concrete road or electricity pole has been installed,' said Gopalakrishna while addressing the villagers. Due to the lack of official infrastructure, residents are reportedly using wooden poles as makeshift electricity supports, a practice that has already led to shocks and close calls. In a recent incident, a homeowner had to personally replace a wire support after experiencing a shock from a low-hanging live wire. The colony, locals say, is completely neglected while sarpanches and officials have ensured road construction only around their own houses. In contrast, this area lacks even basic amenities like CC roads, proper drainage, or soil roads. 'If something happens to any of these families, who will take responsibility?' Gopalakrishna questioned. 'Despite informing the Assistant Engineer (AE) of the electricity department, no action has been taken so far.' He warned that if the situation is not rectified, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will organize a massive protest and dharna in the coming weeks. The event saw the participation of other community leaders like Anjaneyulu, Narasimhulu, and a large number of concerned villagers. What the Law Says: Legal Consequences for Government Negligence Endangering Public Life Legal experts have highlighted that negligence by government officials—especially when it threatens public safety—can lead to serious criminal and civil liabilities under Indian law, including the new Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, which replaced the Indian Penal Code (IPC) in July 2024. Criminal Provisions: Section 106(1) BNS (formerly IPC 304A): If negligence causes death, the official may face up to 5 years of imprisonment, fine, or both. Section 123 BNS (formerly IPC 336-338): Any act endangering life or causing harm due to carelessness can result in 2 years' imprisonment or fine. Section 108 BNS (formerly IPC 166): If a public servant intentionally disobeys the law, they can be punished with up to 1 year imprisonment, fine, or both. Civil and Administrative Action: Negligent officers can also face: Departmental inquiries, suspension, or dismissal Loss of pension or seniority Civil lawsuits for damages Public Interest Litigations (PILs) filed by affected citizens or NGOs 'If a life is lost or seriously harmed due to an official's inaction, they could face both criminal prosecution and departmental removal,' said a senior retired IAS officer on condition of anonymity. What Citizens Can Do: Residents of Bingidoddi and similar villages can: File a formal complaint to the District Collector or Electricity Department Submit an RTI to trace accountability Approach the State Human Rights Commission or Lokayukta File a PIL in the High Court if officials continue to ignore their duty. Public Voice Growing Louder With the state government, led by the Congress party, promising people-centric development, locals expressed disappointment that these promises remain "only in words". The incident in Bingidoddi serves as a grim reminder of the gap between policy and implementation. As the public pressure mounts and legal frameworks back citizens' rights, authorities are now under intense scrutiny to take immediate corrective measures before a preventable tragedy occurs.
