Bengaluru, May 8: The poll-bound Karnataka witnessed another major raid by the Income Tax department last night. The I-T sleuths raided the resort Krishna Heritage owned by the Hosapete MLA Anand Singh. Hosapete is an assembly constituency in Badami taluk of Bagalakete district.

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah who is a candidate for Badami constituency had spent the night in the resort which is located on Hubballi road a few days ago.

As a consequence, the resort had turned into a hub of Congress party meetings.

It is learnt that former minister C M Ibrahim was at the resort when the raid took place. While IT officials scan the records, para-military forces and local police have been stationed for security.

The Congress has been accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi led union government of misusing the I-T department to target Congress in the poll-bound state.

Mangaluru’s public transport revolution: 100 new govt electric buses to end private ‘trip-cutting’

News Network

December 19,2025

Mangaluru: Public transport in Mangaluru is set for a state-led transformation as the government moves to deploy 100 new electric govt buses to replace unreliable private services. The initiative aims to provide a dependable alternative to private operators who have been frequently "cutting trips," leaving thousands of commuters stranded.

The announcement was made by Deputy Commissioner and MCC Administrator Darshan HV during a public phone-in session. The move specifically targets routes where private bus service has become erratic, ensuring that citizens no longer have to rely on a fluctuating private sector for their daily commute.

Restoring the Govt Presence

The transport crisis was brought to the forefront by Ramayya, a resident of Bajal, who highlighted a growing trend of private buses skipping morning and night trips. With the previous KSRTC (govt) services discontinued, residents have been left without a fallback option.

To fix this, the DC confirmed that the PM-eBus Sewa Scheme will bring 100 government-owned electric buses to the city:

• Phased Deployment: The first 50 of the new 100 government buses are scheduled to arrive by March 2026.

• State Infrastructure: Two new government depots, including one at Mudipu, are being prepared for operations.

• Recruitment: The state has already begun training a new batch of government bus drivers to ensure the fleet is operational the moment it arrives.
