Verification Standards Before publishing reports, we make reasonable efforts to verify information through one or more of the following: Official government communications Police and administrative sources Public documents and records Direct statements from stakeholders On-ground observations Multiple independent sources Where information is developing or cannot be independently verified, we endeavour to clearly indicate this to readers. Corrections and Updates Despite best efforts, errors can occasionally occur. If a factual error is identified, we will review the matter and make corrections where necessary.

On July 16, 2026, a complaint was lodged by Krishnananda Vishwanath Vernekar of V. P. Vernekar & Sons, claiming that unidentified persons had broken into the jewellery shop by forcing open the door and stolen gold and silver ornaments along with cash. Based on the complaint, Khadebazar Police registered Crime No. 74/2026 under Sections 331(4) and 305(A) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, and initiated an investigation. During the course of the investigation, police found inconsistencies in the complainant's version of events. As investigators examined the evidence and sequence of events, suspicion fell on the complainant himself. Further interrogation led police to a scooter (KA-22/EW-4822), in which the allegedly stolen property had been concealed. The accused subsequently admitted to the offence, following which police recovered property worth a total of ₹65. 95 lakh, including: Gold ornaments weighing 519. 8 grams, valued at ₹62,60,990 Silver ornaments weighing 31 grams, valued at ₹6,000 Cash amounting to ₹2,83,010 The scooter used in the offence, valued at ₹45,000 Police have seized all the recovered property and initiated legal proceedings against the accused. Further investigation is underway, and a charge sheet will be filed upon completion of the probe. The case was investigated under the supervision of Khadebazar Police Inspector M. K. Dhamannavar.

The action comes in the wake of recent investigations into Shivam Associates, Appexx Bizcorp and Adityaraj Capital and is part of the administration's ongoing crackdown on unauthorized investment schemes. Acting on the directions of District Magistrate Mohammad Roshan, a joint team comprising officials from the Revenue Department, Cooperation Department and Police, led by Sub-Divisional Officer Shravan Kumar Naik, carried out simultaneous investigations at the offices of Growdhan LLP in Tilakwadi and City Index on Mahatma Phule Road. Officials examined financial records and other relevant documents during the exercise. Investigators scrutinised financial transactions, investor records and related documents, with the verification process continuing late into the night. According to Sub-Divisional Officer Shravan Kumar Naik, initial findings suggest that around 1,100 investors had deposited approximately ₹38 crore with Growdhan LLP. Officials believe these funds were accepted in the form of loans. In the case of City Index, preliminary records indicate that nearly 1,500 investors had invested around ₹30 crore. The funds were reportedly mobilised through debentures. Although the company is said to be registered with SEBI, officials are examining its legal compliance, business operations and financial transactions in detail. The preliminary investigation report on Growdhan LLP is expected to be submitted to the District Magistrate on Saturday. The inquiry into City Index will continue, after which a detailed report will be... - Published: 2026-07-17 - Modified: 2026-07-17 - URL: https://allaboutbelgaum.com/news/appexx-bizcorp-investment-fraud-case-handed-over-to-cid-third-major-deposit-scam-from-belagavi-in-two-months/ - Categories: News The alleged investment fraud involving APPEXX Bizcorp LLP has been handed over to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), making it the third major deposit scam from Belagavi district to be transferred to the state agency in the past two months. The earlier cases involving Shivam Associates and Adityaraj Capital were also referred to the CID following allegations of illegal deposit mobilisation and failure to repay investors. Belagavi City Police Commissioner Bhushan Borase confirmed that the case qualifies for a CID investigation as the alleged fraud exceeds ₹50 crore. "Since the alleged scam is above ₹50 crore, the investigation automatically comes under the CID. We are handing over the case to the agency," Borase told reporters. According to the police, APPEXX Bizcorp LLP, a trading firm operating from the first floor of Renuka Niwas Apartment in Mangalwar Peth, Tilakwadi, allegedly collected nearly ₹160 crore from more than 3,000 investors by promising returns of 4% per month. A case has been registered at Tilakwadi Police Station against Chief Managing Director Kashinath Mahadev Waghmare, Managing Director Ganesh Parashuram Bhandare, Deputy Manager Santosh, and other partners of the firm. The complaint was lodged by Ashok Virupaksha Bisguppi of Koujalagi village in Gokak taluk. Police have invoked provisions of the Karnataka Protection of Interest of Depositors in Financial Establishments Act, 2004, the Banning of Unregulated Deposit Schemes Act, 2019, and relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).

Police inspectors attached to all police stations have been directed to prepare a list of every club and entertainment centre within their respective jurisdictions and verify whether they possess valid licences and the necessary statutory permissions. As part of the drive, officials will also inspect premises where card games or similar activities are conducted. Club managements will be issued written guidelines based on applicable laws and Karnataka High Court directions governing such activities, and will be required to acknowledge receipt of these instructions in writing. The key conditions include: Installation of CCTV cameras at entry points and gaming areas. Preservation of CCTV footage for at least 15 days, to be produced whenever sought by the police. Issuance of identity cards to all members. Prohibition on allowing non-members or guests to participate in games. Strict ban on wagering, betting, gambling or any other illegal gaming activities. Full cooperation with police inspections and supervision. All police stations have been instructed to submit their inspection reports to the Commissioner of Police within 10 days. If any club or entertainment centre is found violating the law or prescribed conditions, legal action will be initiated and the licensing authority will be recommended to cancel its licence.

In just 42 days, the AI-based traffic enforcement system has detected a staggering 233,892 traffic violations, leading to the collection of more than ₹5 crore in fines, according to Belagavi Superintendent of Police K. Ramrajan. The AI cameras, installed at major junctions in taluk headquarters across the district, have been deployed to improve road safety, enforce traffic discipline, reduce accidents, and ensure continuous monitoring of violations. Operating round the clock, the cameras are monitoring traffic at busy intersections in towns including Bailhongal and Athani, making it increasingly difficult for violators to evade penalties. Data collected between June 4 and July 15 shows that an average of 5,570 traffic violations were recorded every day during the 42-day period. Among the violations detected: 68,025 motorists were found riding two-wheelers without helmets. 30,536 motorists were caught driving without wearing seatbelts. More than 135,000 additional violations included triple riding, using mobile phones while driving, jumping traffic signals, and other traffic offences. The district police have collected over ₹3 crore in fines from helmet violation cases alone, while the total amount recovered from all categories of traffic offences has crossed ₹5 crore, SP K. Ramrajan said. Police officials have appealed to motorists to strictly follow traffic rules, wear helmets and seatbelts, avoid using mobile phones while driving, and obey traffic signals to ensure safer roads for everyone. - Published: 2026-07-16 - Modified: 2026-07-16 - URL: https://allaboutbelgaum.com/news/union-gymkhana-sealed-following-eviction-order/ - Categories: News Union Gymkhana in Belagavi Cantonment was sealed by Defence Estates authorities on Wednesday evening following the execution of a long-pending eviction order. According to officials, Union Gymkhana in Belagavi Cantonment was sealed by Defence Estates authorities on Wednesday evening following the execution of a long-pending eviction order. According to officials, the club's lease had expired several years ago, and the matter had been pending before various courts. After the legal process concluded, including orders from the High Court, the Defence Estates Office issued directions to take possession of the property. A notice dated July 10, 2026, directed the club to vacate the premises before July 15, failing which possession would be taken. Authorities said the premises were sealed today as part of the implementation of the court's eviction orders. The sealing of Union Gymkhana comes just days after the club was in the spotlight following a sensational firing incident on its premises. The shooting, which took place on the club grounds, prompted a major police investigation, with special teams formed to trace the accused and probe the motive behind the attack. While the firing incident is being investigated separately by the police, the eviction and sealing of the premises by the Defence Estates authorities were carried out in pursuance of long-pending court orders related to the expiry of the club's lease and unauthorised occupation of Defence land. Notice pasted after sealing- Whereas, by order dated 21. 06. 2021 passed by the Estate Officer, you were directed to vacate the defence land in GLR Survey No. 78, measuring approximately 6. 5 acres, which was found to be under the unauthorised occupation of Union Gymkhana Club.

The meeting was held in the presence of Belagavi District Magistrate Mohammad Roshan, where officials from various departments were instructed to speed up pending works and resolve issues affecting project implementation. Comparing this latest review with the previous six meetings, there are very few substantive changes. Most updates are incremental, and several points are almost identical to those discussed over the past year. ProjectPrevious StatusLatest ReviewChange?

Officials expect the tender process to be completed by August, followed by the appointment of a contractor in September. Chairing a review meeting at the Deputy Commissioner's office, Deputy Commissioner Mohammad Roshan said construction is likely to commence by the end of September or within the following two months. The first-phase tender includes provisions for shifting utilities such as HESCOM power lines, water supply pipelines, and underground sewage lines that fall within the project corridor. Around ₹20 crore has been earmarked for these utility relocation works. Addressing environmental concerns, Roshan said the administration will minimise tree felling by adopting tree translocation wherever feasible. He noted that nearly 35 trees were successfully relocated during the Bauxite Road widening project, and a similar approach will be followed for the flyover. Trees affected by the project will be transplanted to government or public land within a 1–2 km radius. To reduce disruption during construction, the district administration, in coordination with the Police Commissionerate and the PWD, has prepared a traffic diversion plan. Around ₹3 crore has been allocated for temporary roads, barricading, and traffic management measures. Roshan also revealed that the second phase of the flyover, estimated to cost around ₹250 crore, is in the final design stage. The proposal is expected to be placed before the State Cabinet for approval within the next... - Published: 2026-07-16 - Modified: 2026-07-16 - URL: https://allaboutbelgaum.com/news/two-special-teams-formed-to-probe-union-gymkhana-shooting-bid/ - Categories: News Belagavi Police have constituted two special investigation teams to trace the accused involved in the attempted shooting at the Union Gymkhana Club on Tuesday night. Acting under the supervision of senior officers, the teams are conducting searches in Belagavi and the Kolhapur and Chandgad regions of neighbouring Maharashtra while probing the gang's background, financial links and possible motive behind the attack. Two FIRs Registered The Camp Police Station has registered two separate cases in connection with the incident. The first FIR is based on a complaint filed by Suresh Jalgar, a resident of Jalgar Galli, against Prafull Patil and four to five unidentified persons. The accused have been booked for attempted murder, criminal intimidation and other relevant offences. The second case was filed by the manager of Union Gymkhana, alleging that the attackers forcibly entered the premises and damaged property during the incident. How the Incident Unfolded According to the police complaint, the assailants entered the Union Gymkhana on Tuesday night and repeatedly asked, "Where is Suresh Jalgar? " One of the accused reportedly had Jalgar's photograph on a mobile phone. After identifying him, the group allegedly assaulted him before one of them pointed a pistol at him and attempted to fire. The incident triggered panic inside the club, with several people present fleeing for safety. Amid the confusion, Jalgar managed to escape and reached the Camp Police Station to lodge a complaint. Police Commissioner Bhushan Borse said the incident is being treated with utmost seriousness.

Addressing a press conference at the Belagavi City Corporation office, Patil said the absence of dedicated funding has resulted in several key development projects coming to a standstill, affecting the city's overall progress. Patil claimed that from the tenure of former Chief Minister B. S. Yediyurappa in 2008 through the previous Siddaramaiah-led government, Belagavi received a special grant of ₹100 crore annually for development. However, he alleged that the current government has not sanctioned any such allocation during its tenure. He further alleged that while tenders for development works are being processed from Bengaluru, projects are not being executed on the ground, preventing citizens from receiving the intended benefits. Referring to works in his constituency, Patil said more than 200 temple and community hall projects remain incomplete due to a lack of funds. In several cases, only the walls have been constructed, while roof slabs are yet to be cast.

Investors have accused Tilakwadi-based Apex Bizcorp LLP of cheating nearly ₹165 crore by promising 48% annual returns. On Monday, hundreds of investors staged a protest outside the DC office, alleging that over 3,500 people, including farmers and daily wage workers, were affected. They claimed the company collected investments starting from ₹50,000 by promising 4% monthly returns through real estate, fixed deposits, options trading and other ventures. Investors alleged that the company promoted the scheme through personal contacts, messages and events instead of formal documents. They said communication from the management has now stopped. They have sought a detailed probe into the company’s accounts, assets, transactions and promoters, along with freezing of related bank accounts and properties.

Despite years of planning, the Karnataka government has not yet handed over even a single parcel of acquired land to the Railways, delaying the start of construction and raising concerns over a steep escalation in project costs. While land prices for acquisition were finalised in Dharwad district several years ago, compensation payments have progressed slowly. In Belagavi district, the situation is even more uncertain, with compensation rates yet to be finalised. Farmers in the district have also launched protests demanding higher compensation for their land. The proposed 73-km direct railway line requires the acquisition of 1,588 acres—210 acres in Dharwad district and 1,378 acres in Belagavi district. In Dharwad, the acquisition process for all 210 acres has been completed in two phases, covering 121 acres in the first phase and 89 acres in the second. However, compensation for a significant portion of the acquired land is still pending, with only 48 acres fully settled so far.

Speaking to PTI, Shettar said the proposed route would benefit passengers from cities such as Hubballi and Belagavi while providing a faster and more comfortable overnight travel option between Bengaluru and Mumbai. The demand assumes significance as the Railway Ministry had earlier indicated plans for a Bengaluru–Mumbai Vande Bharat Sleeper on a different route. As reported on April 27, 2026, Union Minister Ashwini Viashnav and Pralhad Joshi had announced that, along with the approval of two new Bengaluru–Mumbai train services, the Vande Bharat Sleeper train will be via Kalaburagi, with an expected journey time of around 16 hours. Shettar's latest appeal proposes a different alignment through Hubballi-Belagavi, bringing the premium overnight service to the South Western Railway corridor. At present, no official approval has been announced for a Vande Bharat Sleeper via Hubballi. The Railway Ministry had mentioned in April that the proposed Bengaluru–Mumbai Vande Bharat Sleeper will operate via Kalaburagi, as indicated earlier. With demand growing for faster rail connectivity between Karnataka and Maharashtra, the final routing of the Bengaluru–Mumbai Vande Bharat Sleeper will be closely watched by passengers across North Karnataka. - Published: 2026-07-11 - Modified: 2026-07-11 - URL: https://allaboutbelgaum.com/news/belagavi-railway-station-recorded-5446993-passenger-footfalls/ - Categories: News Belagavi railway station has emerged as the second busiest in the Hubballi Division of South Western Railway, recording over 54. 46 lakh passenger footfalls during 2025-26 (up to February 2026).

In a press statement, the Chamber said Belagavi has emerged as one of Karnataka's fastest-growing industrial cities and serves as a gateway to North Karnataka, South Maharashtra, and parts of Goa. Despite its strategic importance and contribution to the state's economy, the city continues to face limited flight connectivity, frequent schedule disruptions, and an insufficient number of flights to major destinations. BCCI said it had held discussions with representatives of IndiGo, Star Air, and Sambra Airport authorities in February 2026, highlighting the difficulties faced by industrialists, entrepreneurs, exporters, professionals, students, patients, and other travellers. The airlines were requested to improve connectivity and strengthen their services, but the Chamber claimed that the concerns of Belagavi's residents remain largely unaddressed. According to the Chamber, inadequate air connectivity has become a significant obstacle to attracting investments and supporting business growth. Many industrialists and entrepreneurs are forced to travel through neighbouring airports, resulting in additional travel time, higher costs, and reduced productivity. The lack of dependable flights also impacts investors, tourists, medical travellers, and students.

Association president Pujari alleged that the issue has remained unresolved since the tenure of late MP Suresh Angadi and accused the government and railway authorities of adopting a discriminatory approach towards compensation. The association said the acquired land falls within the fertile Malaprabha river basin and sought compensation of at least ₹3 crore per acre, arguing that the amount would enable farmers to purchase alternative agricultural land. Protesters claimed that farmers in the Bidadi region have received compensation of up to ₹3 crore per acre, while those in Belagavi district have been treated unfairly. The farmers also demanded that one member from every affected family be provided employment in the Railways or another government department. Warning of an intensified agitation if their demands are ignored, the association urged the district administration to take up the matter with the railway authorities and ensure a fair resolution.

Chairing a meeting of the District Disaster Management Authority on Tuesday, the Deputy Commissioner said continuous rainfall over the past three days in nine taluks of Belagavi district and upstream catchment areas in Maharashtra has significantly increased inflows into the Krishna, Doodhganga, Vedganga, Ghataprabha, Malaprabha, Hiranyakeshi and Markandeya rivers. He warned that villages along riverbanks could face flooding if water levels continue to rise and instructed officials to remain on high alert.

The decision is expected to delay further the rollout of the urban infrastructure and solid waste management scheme. The issue came up for discussion during a review meeting held on Monday, attended by Municipal Commissioner Kartik M. , Smart City Managing Director Kavita Warangal, Superintending Engineer Lakshmi Nipanikar, Assistant Executive Engineer Hanmant Kaladgi, and other officials. During the meeting, officials confirmed that three projects included in the CITIIS 2. 0 proposal were not approved by the Centre. As a result, the Smart City Department has asked the Belagavi City Corporation to identify and propose three alternative projects based on the city's current requirements. Once the Municipal Corporation finalises the replacement projects, they will be incorporated into a revised CITIIS 2. 0 proposal. The updated plan will then be routed through the Karnataka Government before being resubmitted to the Central Government for approval. The latest development is likely to push back the implementation timeline of CITIIS 2. 0, which has already witnessed delays over funding approvals and project finalisation.

The move comes as part of the Corporation's campaign around Plastic Bag-Free Day, observed on July 3. Municipal health inspectors have been visiting hotels to create awareness about the new initiative and ensure compliance. The Corporation has also held meetings with wholesale plastic bag dealers, urging them to gradually discontinue the sale of plastic carry bags and stock biodegradable alternatives instead. Officials believe that improving the availability of eco-friendly products will encourage wider adoption among businesses. Representative Image Hotel owners were given advance notice to make the transition to biodegradable containers and bags for takeaway and parcel services. The civic body expects most hotels in Belagavi to begin using environmentally friendly packaging from Friday. The initiative is part of the Corporation's ongoing efforts to reduce single-use plastic in the city. While cloth bag vending machines installed earlier have seen limited success, the latest drive focuses on working directly with businesses that use and supply plastic products. The Corporation has also appealed to citizens to support the campaign by carrying reusable or cloth bags while shopping and reducing their dependence on single-use plastic. - Published: 2026-07-02 - Modified: 2026-07-02 - URL: https://allaboutbelgaum.com/news/belagavi-youth-drowns-at-barajan-waterfall-in-mhadai-sanctuary-goa-forest-dept-books-five-companions/ - Categories: News A 20-year-old from Belagavi, Aditya Satpati, drowned while bathing at the Barajan waterfall near Sural, located in the core protected zone of the Mhadai Wildlife Sanctuary in Goa, recently. His body was recovered on Monday, and on Tuesday the Goa Forest Department registered a case against five Belagavi youths who had accompanied him for entering the restricted area without authorisation. The Mhadei Sanctuary, including its buffer zone, is officially closed to visitors, yet a group of six young tourists from Belagavi is reported to have entered the area illegally. Aditya drowned while bathing at the waterfall, and news of his death has caused shock in the region. The incident has also renewed concerns over safety measures at the site. Despite signboards placed at multiple points across the sanctuary warning against entry, it appears that tourists from Belagavi and other places continue to enter illegally and indulge in unruly behaviour. File Photo The Goa Forest Department has booked the five youths who accompanied Aditya under the Wildlife Protection Act for unauthorised entry into the sanctuary. Officials have also announced a complete ban on entry to the sanctuary and the waterfall following repeated violations of this kind. Reports indicate that on Sunday, hundreds of young visitors from Karnataka and Goa, including several from Belagavi, arrived at the waterfall for recreation. Forest personnel on duty initially stopped them from entering, but sources allege the group was later let through.

The revised schedule, effective from July 1 until October, is reportedly the result of rising fuel costs and other financial considerations. Under the new timetable, flights between Belagavi and Delhi will operate only on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. While the departure and arrival timings remain unchanged, the reduced frequency is expected to make travel planning more difficult for passengers. The Belagavi-Delhi route is widely used by business travellers, government officials, students, and tourists. With the daily service no longer available, many passengers may have to rely on connecting flights or alternative travel options. Some concerns reduced availability could lead to higher airfares, adding to the cost of travel. The latest reduction comes soon after another setback for air travellers. From June 15, one of the two daily flights on the Belagavi-Bengaluru route was withdrawn, leaving passengers with fewer travel choices. The cut in Delhi services has only added to the growing frustration among frequent flyers. Other Routes Yet to Return Belagavi currently has direct flight connectivity to Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Delhi. However, several other routes that were suspended over the past year are yet to be restored. With connectivity gradually shrinking, passengers fear that more services could be reduced if demand and operational challenges persist. Many residents are now urging the authorities and airline operators to prioritise passenger convenience and restore flight frequencies wherever possible. - Published: 2026-07-01 - Modified: 2026-07-01 - URL: https://allaboutbelgaum.com/news/gruha-jyothi-beneficiary-verification-begins-july-1-step-by-step-guide-for-karnataka-consumers/ - Categories: News Karnataka's Gruha Jyothi beneficiary verification drive begins from July 1, 2026, with electricity supply companies (ESCOMs) launching a door-to-door survey across the state to verify beneficiaries and identify ineligible consumers. The verification aims to ensure that only eligible households continue to receive free electricity benefits under the Gruha Jyothi scheme while preventing misuse caused by changes in ownership, tenancy, or beneficiary details. What is the Gruha Jyothi Scheme? Launched on July 1, 2023, the Gruha Jyothi Scheme provides free electricity to eligible domestic consumers in Karnataka. Under the scheme: Free electricity is available up to the consumer's monthly eligible units, calculated based on the 2022-23 annual average consumption. The maximum limit remains 200 units per month. Consumers exceeding their eligible units must pay for the excess consumption up to 200 units. If monthly consumption exceeds 200 units, the consumer must pay the entire electricity bill. The government later revised the calculation for homes consuming less than 48 units per month by adding 10 units instead of a 10% increase. Step-by-Step: What Will Happen During Verification?

Like most people, he assumed it was acidity. He opened his medicine cabinet, swallowed an antacid, and left for work. For a while, the discomfort settled. But by afternoon, the burning returned. This time, it was accompanied by profuse sweating, radiating pain in the left arm, breathlessness and unusual tiredness. His colleagues noticed that he looked pale and immediately rushed to a nearby hospital. An ECG was performed within minutes. The diagnosis surprised everyone. It was not acidity. He was having a Heart attack (Myocardial infarction). Fortunately, he reached the Hospital in time and received prompt treatment. A delay of another hour or two could have changed his life forever. Stories like this remind us of an important truth: our bodies often whisper before they cry for help. Unfortunately, many of us choose to silence those whispers with over-the-counter medicines instead of finding out what is actually wrong. Self-medication has quietly become a part of our daily lives. A headache is treated with a painkiller, a fever with leftover antibiotics, stomach pain with an antacid, and a cough with medicines recommended by friends or social media.

Visvesvaraya, who designed the Rakaskop Water Supply Scheme, observed in the preamble to his report that "Belgaum water supply can be maintained by a chain of wells. " His vision underscored the importance of preserving traditional groundwater sources as a safeguard against future water shortages. Ironically, at a time when Belagavi continues to grapple with recurring summer water scarcity, one such restored well has been permanently closed. The well at the corner of Sheri Galli, which was rejuvenated in March 2013 at a cost of several lakhs of rupees, has now been filled in. A mini RO (Reverse Osmosis) water purification plant installed at the site also remained unused throughout its existence, turning the investment into a futile expenditure. The well restoration was part of a broader initiative aimed at creating alternative water sources for the city. Along with the Sheri Galli well, the historic 'Bara Gadgadya' well at Hutatma Chowk and the well inside the Ganpat Galli school premises were revived using public funds. The objective was to restore these traditional water sources and strengthen the city's resilience during periods of water scarcity. However, shortly after the Sheri Galli well was restored, tests revealed that its water was contaminated. Investigations indicated that sewage was seeping into the well, rendering the water unfit for drinking or any domestic use.

The Karnataka Transport Department issued the sanction order on June 24. Of the total allocation, ₹14. 96 crore will be contributed by the Central Government and ₹10. 87 crore by the State Government. For Belagavi, the approved amount includes ₹1. 71 crore as the Centre's share and ₹1. 24 crore from the State Government. The funds will be used to modernise Depot No. 2 and create the infrastructure necessary for operating electric buses, including charging systems, parking facilities, depot upgrades and other supporting civil works. The latest allocation follows the Centre's approval of 100 electric buses for Belagavi under the PM-eBus Sewa Scheme, which aims to deploy 10,000 air-conditioned electric buses across more than 100 cities in India to promote clean and sustainable public transport.

Located outside the Birth and Death Certificates Department at the Corporation’s main office, the Help Desk had been announced for launch from April 1, with the required infrastructure ready well in advance. However, its operational delay had drawn criticism from citizens. The Help Desk will guide citizens on birth and death registration, certificate corrections, name changes, and required documentation. A dedicated application counter has also been opened. Earlier, many applications were rejected or delayed due to missing documents or errors, forcing applicants to make repeated visits. Under the new system, applications will be verified at the Help Desk before submission. Incomplete applications will be returned immediately with guidance, while complete applications will be accepted and forwarded for processing.

The civic body will later recover the expenditure from the Karnataka Urban Infrastructure Development and Finance Corporation (KUIDFC) and its contractor, L&T Construction. The roads were excavated for laying underground water pipelines and providing household tap connections under the ambitious 24x7 drinking water scheme. However, restoration work has remained incomplete at several locations, leaving caved-in trenches, uneven surfaces and dangerous stretches that have become a daily challenge for commuters, particularly two-wheeler riders. Residents across several parts of Belagavi have repeatedly raised concerns over deteriorating road conditions, with many stretches resembling construction zones long after pipeline work was completed. The situation has also resulted in frequent accidents and traffic disruptions. A major reason for the problem has been the lack of coordination between KUIDFC, the Belagavi City Corporation and Belagavi Smart City Limited. In several instances, newly laid cement concrete roads developed under the Smart City project were dug up again for water pipeline works, leading to public criticism over poor planning. Belagavi MLA Asif Sait said he personally inspected several affected roads and found that excavation and restoration had not been carried out according to prescribed standards.

For the Bapat Galli parking lot, the highest bid of ₹20. 01 lakh was submitted by Vanita Vivekanand Patil, who secured the contract. The Club Road parking contract was awarded to Attar after a highest bid of ₹4. 01 lakh. As per the tender conditions, the parking charges have been fixed as follows: • Bapat Galli: ₹50 per four-wheeler for every three hours. Club Road: ₹20 per four-wheeler for every three hours. The Corporation has directed contractors to prominently display the approved parking rates at the respective sites. The latest auction marks a significant development after previous attempts ran into complications. An e-auction held in January had been completed successfully, but work orders were never issued. A second auction in April saw the Bapat Galli bid rise sharply to ₹39 lakh, but the successful bidder failed to deposit the required amount, forcing the Corporation to cancel the process and invite fresh tenders. The most recent e-auction, conducted on June 16, has now resulted in successful bids for both parking lots. However, the collection of the contract amounts and issuance of formal work orders are still pending, with the next steps from the Corporation being closely watched. > The new Aadhaar Seva Kendra in Baygaya Nagar Angol, Belagavi, has been inaugurated by Deputy Commissioner Mohammad Roshan.

Police Commissioner Bhushan Borse said a post-campaign survey conducted at two of the city's busiest junctions—Ramdev Circle and Globe Circle—found that 91. 80 percent of riders were wearing helmets. The survey monitored 2,820 two-wheeler riders during one-hour observation periods at both locations. Of these, 2,589 riders were found wearing helmets, while 231 were riding without them. At Ramdev Circle, 1,134 of the 1,242 riders observed were wearing helmets, resulting in a compliance rate of 91. 30 percent. Globe Circle recorded an even higher compliance rate of 92. 20 percent, with 1,455 of 1,578 riders using helmets. According to the police, the findings indicate a significant improvement in helmet usage following the awareness campaign. Officials also noted a reduction in traffic violations, suggesting that sustained awareness efforts are positively influencing public behaviour. With helmets being one of the most effective measures to reduce fatalities and serious injuries in road accidents, authorities believe that continued enforcement and public education will further improve compliance levels across the city. > Belagavi's Dr Prabhakar Kore receives the Padma Shri for his transformative contributions to education, healthcare and institution building through KLE Society. - Published: 2026-06-22 - Modified: 2026-06-22 - URL: https://allaboutbelgaum.com/news/from-ankali-to-padma-shri-the-extraordinary-journey-of-dr-prabhakar-kore/ - Categories: News Veteran educationist, cooperative leader and institution builder Dr Prabhakar Basavaprabhu Kore will be conferred the Padma Shri, one of India's highest civilian honours, by the President of India at a ceremony at Rashtrapati Bhavan on Tuesday, June 23. The award recognises Dr Kore's extraordinary contribution to education, healthcare, literature and institution-building, spanning more than four decades. He was among the Padma Shri awardees announced by the Government of India in January 2026 under the Literature and Education category. From Ankali to National Recognition Born on August 1, 1947, in the village of Ankali in Chikodi taluk, Belagavi district, Dr Kore's journey reflects the transformation of a rural son into one of India's most influential education leaders. Coming from an agrarian family, he went on to become a prominent cooperative leader, parliamentarian and educationist. However, it is his work through the Karnataka Lingayat Education Society that has left the most enduring impact. When Dr Kore assumed leadership of KLE Society in 1985, the organisation managed barely a few dozen institutions. Over the next forty years, he spearheaded an unprecedented expansion that transformed KLE into one of India's largest educational networks. Today, KLE operates 316 educational institutions, hospitals and research centres across Karnataka, Maharashtra, Goa, Delhi, Dubai and Malaysia, serving nearly 1. 45 lakh students and providing employment to more than 18,000 people.

The studio was inaugurated in the presence of Belagavi South MLA Abhay Patil, Ramesh Tubachi, Vice-President of the Karnataka Professional Civil Engineers Act Steering Consortium for North Karnataka, CREDAI Belgaum President Yuvraj Hulji and other guests. Behind the launch, however, is a local entrepreneur who believes homeowners in Belagavi deserve a more organised approach to interior design. "Customers want clarity, not surprises" Speaking to All About Belgaum, Mahesh G. Chonnad, founder of Mahesh Chonnad Interior and HomeLane's franchise partner in Belagavi, said the decision to bring the brand to the city was driven by changing customer expectations. "Belagavi has witnessed significant growth in residential construction over the past few years. People today are looking for professionally planned interiors, clear timelines and transparent pricing. That's what attracted me to partner with HomeLane," Chonnad said. According to him, many homeowners struggle with uncertainty during interior projects, particularly regarding costs, design changes and delivery schedules. "Customers often have great ideas for their homes but find it difficult to visualise the final outcome. With HomeLane's technology platform, they can see their designs in 3D before work begins and make informed decisions," he added. "One of the biggest concerns homeowners have is uncertainty.

The investment represents a significant step for Vega as it expands its focus beyond accident prevention to improving post-accident emergency response for riders. Tageze, operated by Techsocio Projects, has developed a unique medical identification system that integrates weather-resistant QR code tags directly onto helmets. In the event of a road accident, emergency responders, healthcare workers, or even bystanders can scan the QR code using any smartphone to instantly access critical medical information. The digital profile can provide details such as emergency contacts, blood group, allergies, existing medical conditions, medications, and insurance information. The system is designed to help first responders during the crucial "golden hour" following an accident, when timely access to information can significantly impact treatment outcomes. A key feature of the platform is that it does not require users to install a mobile application. The QR code links to a secure web-based profile that can be accessed through any smartphone browser and automatically adapts to multiple languages, making it useful for riders travelling across different regions. According to the companies, the investment will support the expansion of Tageze's technology infrastructure and accelerate its adoption across India and international markets where Vega products are already distributed.

The historic well, located at Kanchveer Nagar near Airport Road in Mutga village, was first brought to public attention following the Belagavi Stepwells Campaign initiated by the INTACH Belagavi Chapter in collaboration with Maharashtra Barav Moheem (Maharashtra Step-wells Campaign). The campaign, which sought information on neglected and forgotten stepwells across the district, was widely amplified by All About Belgaum, leading to a tip-off from a reader about an unusual stone structure opposite Shri Kanchveer Temple. A subsequent site inspection by INTACH members revealed an elongated stone-built well buried under dense vegetation, silt, debris and years of neglect. The structure's distinctive design — featuring a rectangular section connected to a circular chamber through an elegant stone archway — immediately highlighted its historical and architectural significance. Recognising its heritage value, Pyaas Foundation stepped forward to undertake the restoration. Supported by a generous grant from Dr. Nitin Khot, the Foundation launched an extensive cleaning and rejuvenation effort. For nearly three decades, the well had remained buried beneath layers of silt, sewage water, plastic waste, rubble and discarded bottles. Volunteers from Pyaas Foundation, assisted by local residents and supporters, painstakingly cleared the accumulated debris and restored the well to its original depth of nearly sixty feet before excavating a further ten feet.

One of the complaints pertains to Vaika Retail and Technologies (OPC) Private Limited, based in Tilakwadi. According to investors, the company's director, Siddharth Jambagi, attracted deposits by promising a monthly return of 5% and repayment of the principal amount after 20 months. Investors were provided agreements executed on bond paper and post-dated cheques as assurance. Depositors claim that while interest payments and partial returns were made during the initial months, the scheme later collapsed. A suo motu case was registered by the police in 2021, leading to Jambagi's arrest. However, investors allege that he absconded after securing bail. Around 89 investors reportedly invested approximately ₹3. 10 crore in the company. A similar complaint has been filed against Dr. Vijay Mohan Honnakamble, director of Mohanjyoti One Mart Trading in Athani. The company allegedly collected deposits by offering a 5% monthly return and repayment of the invested amount upon maturity. According to the complainants, nearly 536 investors invested a total of ₹11. 15 crore in the scheme. Additionally, under a separate lucky draw programme, 79 investors were promised double their investment within 20 months after depositing ₹5 lakh each, resulting in an alleged fraud of around ₹3. 95 crore.

The special operation was carried out under the guidance of Belagavi Superintendent of Police K. Ramarajan and Additional Superintendent of Police R. B. Basargi. The effort focused on solving long-pending missing person cases, some of which had remained unresolved for several years. The investigation was led by Women's Police Station Inspector Netravati B.

The event coincided with the institution's 55th anniversary and the 95th birth anniversary of the late Prabhatai Deshpande. The renaming marks the culmination of a long-standing effort to formally recognize the woman whose vision helped shape English-medium education within the Mahila Vidyalaya Mandal (MVM) family. A Century-Old Institution The story of the school is closely linked with the history of Mahila Vidyalaya Mandal itself. Founded on May 25, 1923, under the inspiration of Bharat Ratna Maharshi Dhondo Keshav Karve, the institution was established to promote women's education in Belagavi. The first Mahila Vidyalaya School began with just three students and gradually evolved into one of the city's most respected educational institutions. Over the decades, Mahila Vidyalaya nurtured generations of students and produced distinguished alumni who excelled in diverse fields across India and abroad. Prabhatai Deshpande's Contribution In the late 1970s, educator Prabhatai Deshpande merged her English-medium school with Mahila Vidyalaya, helping expand the institution's reach and educational offerings. Her dedication to discipline, honesty, value-based education and the holistic development of students became defining characteristics of the school.

At present, the Corporation collects ₹852 per square metre as a development charge while granting building permits. Following the proposed revision, the rate will increase to ₹937 per square metre. As a result, the development charge for a guntha of land is expected to rise to nearly ₹96,000 to ₹1 lakh. The annual increase is part of a decision taken during the administrative tenure of the Corporation, under which development charges are to be revised upward by 10% every year. The implementation of this policy has drawn strong opposition from the construction sector. Builders and developers, represented through CREDAI, have argued that the steep annual increase is unreasonable. They point out that property tax revisions are generally limited to 3% to 5%, whereas development charges are being subjected to a much higher yearly hike. Earlier, such charges were revised once every two or three years rather than annually. According to industry representatives, the recurring increase raises the cost of obtaining building permits and ultimately pushes up housing prices for buyers. They contend that the additional burden will affect both the construction industry and prospective homeowners. Builders have demanded that the Corporation withdraw the provision for a 10% annual increase and instead adopt a more moderate revision mechanism similar to property tax... - Published: 2026-06-17 - Modified: 2026-06-17 - URL: https://allaboutbelgaum.com/news/new-terminal-at-belagavi-airport-expected-to-open-within-two-months-mp-shettar/ - Categories: News The construction of the new terminal building at Sambra Airport in Belagavi has reached its final stage and is expected to be inaugurated within the next two months, according to Belagavi MP Jagadish Shettar. Speaking after inaugurating the Yatra Suvidha Diwas programme at the airport, Shettar said the commissioning of the new terminal would pave the way for enhanced air connectivity and the introduction of additional flight services. He said efforts are underway to bring more airlines and increase the number of flights connecting Belagavi with major metropolitan cities across the country. Discussions have already been held with several airline operators, and the expansion of services is expected once the new terminal becomes operational. Shettar also noted that the aviation sector has been facing challenges due to global conflicts, which have impacted flight operations and fuel availability. However, he expressed optimism that the industry would regain momentum once the prevailing international situation stabilises. The new terminal is expected to significantly boost passenger handling capacity at Belagavi Airport and support the city's growing demand for improved domestic air connectivity.

To sustain the city's drinking water supply, authorities have deployed two 35 HP pumps to extract water from the dead storage zone of the reservoir. Officials estimate that the available reserve can support water supply for only about 20 more days. If adequate rainfall is not received during this period, Belagavi could face a serious water shortage. As of now, the water level in Rakaskop Dam stands at 2,448. 90 feet, compared to 2,452. 80 feet on the same date last year. While the city did not face any major water scarcity in 2025 and did not require the use of dead storage, the situation has changed considerably this year, forcing authorities to tap emergency reserves. The Rakaskop reservoir has a storage capacity of 0. 5 TMC and reaches full capacity at 2,477 feet. Normally, dead storage is accessed when the water level falls to 2,446 feet. Although the current level remains slightly above that mark, officials have been compelled to use pumps because obstructions are preventing water from flowing through the siphon system. The dead storage reserve is expected to last until around July 7, making the next few weeks crucial. The onset and intensity of the monsoon will determine whether the city can avoid further restrictions on water supply.

According to the schedule released by the airline, passengers from Mundra will be able to reach Belagavi through a same-aircraft or connecting service routed through Mumbai. Flights will operate five days a week with arrivals in Belagavi at 9. 30 pm. The announced schedule is: Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday: Depart Mundra at 6. 30 pm and arrive in Belagavi at 9. 30 pm via Mumbai.

Mundra, home to one of India's largest commercial ports, is a major industrial and logistics hub in Gujarat. The new service is expected to benefit business travellers, industrial stakeholders and those with commercial links between North Karnataka and the Kutch region. Star Air has been steadily expanding its network from Mundra since commencing scheduled operations there earlier this year. With Ahmedabad and Jaipur no longer part of the operational network, Belagavi currently has direct flight connectivity to four cities — Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Delhi and Mumbai/Navi Mumbai.

Sources in the district administration said that the decision taken earlier to hold the session in Belagavi during the second week of July is no longer being actively pursued. Officials point to the absence of any communication from the state government regarding arrangements that are typically initiated well in advance of a legislature session. Belagavi district authorities had already started preliminary planning based on the earlier indication that the session would be held here. Initial meetings were conducted to coordinate accommodation, security, transportation and other logistical requirements for legislators, government officials and visitors. Sources suggest that the change in plans may be linked to the state government's current focus on cabinet expansion and related political priorities. With significant attention being devoted to these developments, the monsoon session is now expected to remain in Bengaluru. The proposal had gained further momentum after Legislative Council Chairman Basavaraj Horatti publicly expressed support for holding the session in Belagavi. Speaking on the issue, Deputy Commissioner Mohammed Roshan said the district administration has not received any directions from the state government regarding the conduct of the session in Belagavi. - Published: 2026-06-15 - Modified: 2026-06-15 - URL: https://allaboutbelgaum.com/news/indigo-cuts-one-bengaluru-belagavi-flight-morning-and-evening-services-now-alternate-by-day/ - Categories: News Air travellers between Bengaluru and Belagavi will now have fewer flight options, as IndiGo has withdrawn one of its two daily services on the route from June 16. The airline, which had been operating morning and evening flights between Bengaluru and Belagavi, has scaled back operations to a single daily service. Industry sources indicate that rising aviation turbine fuel (ATF) costs and operational factors have influenced the decision. The revised schedule will operate as follows: Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Friday Bengaluru (BLR): 6:50 AM departure Belagavi (IXG): 8:20 AM arrival Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday Bengaluru (BLR): 5:55 PM departure Belagavi (IXG): 7:25 PM arrival The reduction comes as a setback for frequent flyers, business travellers and passengers relying on same-day connectivity between the two cities. The earlier schedule provided the flexibility of choosing between morning and evening departures, enabling day-return trips and smoother connections to other domestic and international destinations via Bengaluru. With only one flight operating each day, passengers may face reduced seat availability, particularly during peak travel periods. Travel agents also expect fares to rise on certain days as capacity on the route decreases. The Bengaluru sector remains one of Belagavi Airport's busiest routes, serving business travellers, students, professionals and connecting passengers heading to destinations across India and abroad. - Published: 2026-06-14 - Modified: 2026-06-14 - URL: https://allaboutbelgaum.com/news/belagavi-death-registration-gets-more-complicated-affidavit-now-mandatory-in-certain-cases/ - Categories: News The process of registering a death in Belagavi has become increasingly complicated, with the Belagavi City Corporation introducing yet another requirement that has drawn criticism from citizens. Under the latest procedure, families seeking to register a death that occurred at home may now be required to submit an undertaking bond on a ₹100 stamp paper. Officials from the Corporation's Health Department have indicated that death registration will not be processed without the prescribed documentation wherever applicable. The new requirement comes amid ongoing concerns over the recently introduced ration card mandate for home death registrations. Citizens argue that each additional document is adding to the burden on families already coping with the loss of a loved one. Multiple Documents, Growing Frustration At present, the registration process for a death occurring at home involves several layers of verification. Along with the deceased person's ration card, relatives must provide Aadhaar details of five residents who can act as witnesses. A municipal health official then conducts a site inspection and prepares a report before the death is officially registered. The latest undertaking bond requires relatives to declare that the information furnished regarding the death is accurate and that they will assume responsibility for any future disputes or legal issues arising from the registration. Citizens have questioned the necessity of an additional bond when the process already includes witness statements, Aadhaar verification, physical inspection, and a departmental report.

Neelannavar, who is currently lodged in Hindalaga Central Prison, is expected to be released on Monday after completion of the required legal formalities. The owner of Shivam Associates was arrested following allegations that he collected thousands of crores of rupees from investors by promising unusually high returns without obtaining the necessary approvals from regulatory authorities such as the Reserve Bank of India and the Securities and Exchange Board of India. According to the investigation, investors were allegedly lured with promises of high interest rates, leading to deposits amounting to approximately Rs 4,500 crore over several years. The case is currently being investigated by the Economic Offences Wing of the Criminal Investigation Department under provisions of the Karnataka Protection of Interest of Depositors (KPID) Act. The CID has earlier stated that more than 40,000 investors are linked to the scheme and has traced assets worth hundreds of crores, including bank deposits, real estate, gold and luxury vehicles allegedly acquired using investors' funds. While bail has been granted, the investigation into the financial transactions, asset recovery process and identification of beneficiaries continues.

The city creates another one. Not on the road, but inside the system. A broken streetlight, an overflowing drain, a leaking water pipeline, an open electrical panel, a damaged footpath, a garbage pile left unattended — these are routine civic issues. In a functioning city, they are reported, tracked, and fixed. In Belagavi, reporting the problem often becomes a bigger ordeal than the problem itself. For years, citizens have been trapped in a bureaucratic maze where responsibility is fragmented, accountability is elusive, and solutions are buried beneath layers of departments, agencies, contractors, and jurisdictions. The result is a city where residents spend more time trying to identify who is responsible than authorities spend fixing the issue. The Endless Circle of "Not Our Department" The experience is familiar to thousands of residents. A complaint is lodged with the Corporation. The response: "It falls under Smart City. " Smart City says it belongs to a contractor. The contractor points to another department. That department redirects the citizen elsewhere. Days turn into weeks. The issue remains. The citizen eventually gives up. The system wins. This is not an isolated problem. It has become an accepted culture of passing responsibility rather than accepting it. Smart Infrastructure, Primitive Grievance Handling Belagavi proudly speaks of Smart City projects, surveillance systems, command centres, digital governance, and technology-driven development. Yet when a citizen wants to report a broken streetlight or a dangerous pothole, the process still resembles something from two decades ago.

Citizens encountering issues like garbage dumps, unclean roads, overflowing dustbins, bad roads, non-functional streetlights, and water leakages often feel helpless, as individual complaints seem to go unanswered. The inefficiency of streetlights is glaringly evident, with at least 60% not functioning properly. Main roads also suffer from a lack of working streetlights, and residents are left wondering where to file their complaints. Incomplete or poorly constructed roads add to the frustration. Many citizens do not know which authority is responsible for specific issues. The administration's lack of prioritisation for grievance resolution compounds the problem, leaving citizens to deal with a bureaucratic maze. Belagavi boasts an integrated command and control centre under the Smart City initiative, yet a single, efficient grievance-handling number remains elusive. After contacting one office, they informed us that the issue does not fall under their jurisdiction. However, upon reaching out to another office, they clarified that the responsibility lies with them. Since the company in charge of laying pipes is involved, they now must address the matter. Please contact them directly for further assistance. Even dedicated apps and websites, such as the Smart City app and https://ipgrs. karnataka. gov. in/, fail to deliver results. Complaints are either ignored or marked as resolved without any real action being taken. Jurisdictional confusion further complicates matters, with border issues between the Corporation, BUDA, and the Cantonment board creating additional obstacles.

Between the 4th Gate and Gandhinagar Gate, the track runs through a densely built stretch with neighbourhoods on both sides, and every level crossing adds another pressure point to traffic, access, and safety. At the same time, Belagavi is already seeing how slow big infrastructure can be. The city’s proposed flyover from Hotel Sankam to Dharmaveer Sambhaji Maharaj Chowk has received administrative approval. However, the plan is still moving through public consultation, phased alignment, and tender preparation before construction begins. The project is officially being treated as a phased corridor, with the first stretch to be taken up after stakeholder feedback is finalised. That raises a broader civic question: should Belagavi continue addressing each railway crossing one by one with ROBs, or plan a larger solution, such as an elevated railway corridor? And if the city is thinking long-term, should the railway line itself be shifted outside the urban core instead? What the city is really asking A 9-km elevated railway corridor would, in theory, remove level crossings from the dense city stretch in one stroke. That means uninterrupted road movement, fewer gate closures, and no fresh conflict every time a new ROB is proposed. But the same project would also mean a major construction footprint, long utility shifting, access changes for nearby homes and businesses, and a much larger cost and approval process than a single ROB. The key question for citizens is not whether... - Published: 2026-06-12 - Modified: 2026-06-12 - URL: https://allaboutbelgaum.com/news/nearly-3-lakh-voters-in-belagavi-yet-to-be-mapped-concerns-over-inclusion-in-final-electoral-roll/ - Categories: News Belagavi district has reported a large number of voters whose details are yet to be mapped during the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, raising concerns about their inclusion in the final voter list. According to election officials, out of the district's total 41. 22 lakh voters, around 38. 22 lakh have been successfully mapped, while 2,99,870 voters remain unmapped due to missing or incomplete records. The issue is particularly significant in urban constituencies. Belagavi North has the highest number of unmapped voters at 71,293, followed by Belagavi South with 42,964 voters. In total, more than 1. 1 lakh unmapped voters belong to urban assembly segments. Belagavi district, which has the highest number of assembly constituencies in Karnataka at 18, has a voter base of 41,22,869. This includes 20,68,398 women, 20,54,276 men and 195 third-gender voters spread across 4,525 polling stations. Officials said the mapping exercise is being carried out using data from the 2001 electoral roll. However, many voter records are missing from the database, creating difficulties in verifying and updating details. To address the issue, Block Level Officers (BLOs) will conduct door-to-door visits between June 30 and July 29. Voters will be required to submit any one of the 12 documents prescribed by the Election Commission along with a self-attested declaration form. Officials warned that voters who fail to provide the required information may be marked as absent. Once removed from the electoral roll, getting re-enrolled could become a lengthy process.

Following a meeting chaired by Deputy Commissioner Mohammad Roshan, in which farmers expressed their willingness to cooperate with the project, the administration directed the concerned agencies to complete the remaining work within a month. The land for the STP was acquired around 12 years ago. However, farmers launched a protest and halted work on the project, alleging that they had not received the expected compensation. The matter was later taken up at a meeting in the Deputy Commissioner’s office, where the farmers’ demands were discussed. Farmer leader Prakash Naik, speaking on behalf of the affected farmers, sought Rs 4 crore in compensation. He also demanded that farmers who lost land for the Basurte dam be given the same compensation. In addition, he urged the administration to assess and compensate the expenses incurred by the present farmers for trees, wells and pipelines on the land. The Deputy Commissioner said that compensation of Rs 3 lakh per acre had been fixed at the time of land acquisition. He added that, through the efforts of the administration and public representatives, the farmers had already received enhanced compensation. He also clarified that the farmers are free to pursue legal remedies if they seek additional compensation. After the farmers agreed to cooperate, the Deputy Commissioner instructed the municipal authorities to complete the remaining 10% of the project within a month.

Preliminary works have already commenced in several villages, and efforts are underway to expedite implementation of the major infrastructure project aimed at easing traffic congestion around the city. The project requires the acquisition of around 1,248 acres of land spread across 32 villages in Belagavi taluka. According to officials from the Revenue and Land Acquisition Department, nearly 70 per cent of the land acquisition process has been completed. Authorities are currently prioritising construction on stretches where landowners have accepted compensation, while the remaining cases are pending before various courts. A section of affected farmers has opposed the acquisition, arguing that fertile agricultural land should not be used for the project. Many farmers had sought alternative agricultural land in place of monetary compensation, claiming that cash payments cannot replace productive farmland. Some of these disputes have reached the courts, delaying acquisition in certain pockets. Officials, however, remain confident that the pending legal matters will be resolved soon, allowing the remaining land acquisition process to be completed and construction work to progress at a faster pace. The proposed ring road will pass through villages including Kamkharatti, Dhamane, Yellur, Sulga, Zadshahapur, Waghawade, Santibastwad, Rankundye, Khadarwadi, Navage, Belgundi, Turmuri, Uchgaon, Gojaga, Mannur, Agasage, Ambewadi, Kadoli, Honga and Mutaga, among others.

A large group of depositors, led by Advocate N. R. Latur, gathered at the Deputy Commissioner's office in Belagavi on Tuesday and submitted a memorandum addressed to the Chief Minister. Deputy Commissioner Mohammad Roshan received the memorandum and assured the delegation that it would be forwarded to the Chief Minister without delay. Addressing the media, Adv. Latur said that thousands of people from Belagavi had invested in the Krantiveer Sangolli Rayanna Society over a decade ago. In 2017, the society allegedly shut down its operations after its chairman Anand Balkrishna Appugol, along with his wife and other directors, failed to return depositors' money, forcing investors to seek legal remedies. Following complaints, the Consumer Court ordered the attachment of properties belonging to the society's chairman and other responsible persons to facilitate repayment. The Karnataka government subsequently appointed a Competent Authority under the KPID Act to oversee the recovery process. According to depositors, assets attached under the proceedings have already been auctioned, generating between ₹80 crore and ₹90 crore. Investors were asked to submit claims along with supporting documents, which they duly provided before the Competent Authority in Bengaluru. However, depositors allege that their claims were later rejected on the grounds that cash investments above ₹20,000 were not... > With his Rajya Sabha term ending on June 25, 2026, Iranna Kadadi leaves behind a parliamentary record marked by 573 questions, 46 debates, seven private member bills, and a strong focus on Belagavi's infrastructure, agriculture, healthcare, connectivity and heritage issues. - Published: 2026-06-08 - Modified: 2026-06-08 - URL: https://allaboutbelgaum.com/news/iranna-kadadi-rajya-sabha-report-card-2020-2026/ - Categories: News As Iranna Kadadi’s term in the Rajya Sabha draws to a close on June 25, 2026, his parliamentary record reflects a sustained focus on development issues affecting Belagavi and North Karnataka, coupled with interventions on national policies relating to agriculture, skills, infrastructure, health, and rural development. Elected to the Rajya Sabha in June 2020, Kadadi emerged as one of Karnataka’s more active parliamentarians in terms of questions asked. Parliamentary records show that he raised 573 questions during his tenure, significantly above the national average for Rajya Sabha members. 573 Questions | 46 Debates | 7 Private Member Bills | 82% Attendance Among Karnataka's Rajya Sabha MPs, Iranna Kadadi's tenure stands out for its heavy reliance on parliamentary questions, particularly on issues related to Belagavi's infrastructure, agriculture, connectivity, skill development, and regional development. Belagavi at the Centre of His Parliamentary Agenda A review of Kadadi’s questions reveals a clear pattern: Belagavi remained at the heart of his parliamentary interventions. Few issues received as much attention as connectivity and infrastructure. Over the past six years, he repeatedly sought updates on the expansion and modernisation of Belagavi Airport, railway connectivity, national highways, urban mobility projects, and public transport schemes.

The investment forms part of the company's ongoing ₹2 crore pre-seed funding round. The Belagavi-based startup has also secured an additional ₹30 lakh in soft commitments from angel investors, taking the total committed amount to ₹70 lakh. Founded by Siddharth Mutkekar and Chinmay Maddinmath, and incubated at Deshpande Startups in Hubballi, Kabadi Man operates a technology-driven recycling marketplace that connects households and businesses with verified kabadiwala partners for on-demand scrap collection. The startup follows an asset-light aggregator model aimed at formalising India's vast informal recycling sector. By providing technology, transparent pricing, and a steady flow of customers, the platform claims to have helped its kabadiwala partners increase their earnings by nearly three times.

Addressing a media briefing in Belagavi, Dr Bheemashankar S. Guled, Deputy Inspector General of Police, Economic Offences Wing, CID, urged the public not to deposit any money into Shivam Associates accounts. "The accounts have only been debit-frozen. Credits are still possible. We are finding that some people continue to deposit money. We strongly request the public not to transfer any funds to Shivam Associates," he said. No Permission to Collect Public Deposits Guled said a key issue under investigation is whether Shivam Associates had any legal authority to collect deposits from the public. "Anyone promising returns of 36%, 60% or similarly high profits is operating outside normal financial norms. Such returns are neither feasible nor permitted under RBI regulations," he said. According to the CID, Neelannavar allegedly described the funds received from investors as "hand loans", but investigators believe the transactions effectively constitute public deposits, bringing the matter under the provisions of the Karnataka Protection of Interest of Depositors (KPID) Act. Classic Ponzi Structure The CID's investigation indicates that the operation followed a classic Ponzi model, in which funds collected from new investors were used to pay returns to earlier investors.

Ltd. in Bhagyanagar, Belagavi, entered its second day on Friday, with authorities sealing the company's office and initiating the process of registering a formal case. A team led by Belagavi Sub-Divisional Officer (SDO) Shravan Naik continued its detailed scrutiny of the firm's records, examining financial transactions, depositor information, investment details, and bank documents. While the first day's inquiry focused on the verification of preliminary records, the second day involved a more comprehensive examination of the nature of transactions and the utilisation of funds collected from investors. Sources said that several key documents and financial records have been taken into custody as part of the investigation. Officials are compiling information on the total deposits mobilised by the company, the number of investors involved, the deployment of collected funds, and the regulatory permissions under which the firm was operating. The inquiry is also examining complaints received by the Karnataka Protection of Interest of Depositors (KPID) authorities and the BUDS Cell. Investigators are assessing whether the company's activities violated provisions relating to the collection of public deposits and investor protection. With the office sealed, police security remained deployed at the premises throughout Friday. Details of the action taken are expected to be submitted by the SDO to District Collector Dr. Mohammad Roshan on Saturday.

Addressing a joint press conference, the Commissioner of Police and the Deputy Commissioner of Belagavi outlined the preliminary findings of the inquiry. Officials said the company had actively encouraged members of the public to invest through meetings and promotional programmes, offering guaranteed returns of 5 per cent per month through written agreements and investment documents. Authorities said the firm's business model appeared to operate on two fronts — raising funds from the public and offering investment opportunities. However, investigators found that investors were not adequately informed about the risks involved. Instead, they were promised unusually high assured returns, a practice that raised immediate regulatory concerns. Officials stated that investors were made to sign leverage funding agreements that included lock-in periods but lacked proper risk disclosures. The administration believes these arrangements fall within the ambit of the Karnataka Protection of Interest of Depositors (KPID) Act. According to investigators, the company claimed that funds would be invested in futures and options trading. However, officials pointed out that no individual or entity can legally guarantee fixed returns from such market-linked investments. Authorities further noted that the company was not registered as a Portfolio Manager with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and therefore could not legally manage public investment portfolios or... - Published: 2026-06-05 - Modified: 2026-06-05 - URL: https://allaboutbelgaum.com/news/belagavis-industrial-plots-may-now-host-offices-showrooms-and-service-units/ - Categories: News Karnataka has relaxed construction norms to allow commercial and other non-manufacturing uses on eligible industrial plots, opening the door for office complexes, showrooms, business hubs, IT offices, logistics centers and related service facilities in industrial areas. The revised rules are part of a broader push to improve land use efficiency in KIADB and other industrial zones. Under the amended building regulations, non-residential layouts must have access from an existing public road or street at least 12 metres wide. The notification also sets out wider planning provisions for non-residential and commercial development, including road-width-based norms and earmarking requirements. The change comes at a time when many industrial estates have vacant or underused space, either because units have closed or because modern production systems need less land. The state government’s recent revisions to FAR and setback norms also show that it is trying to make industrial land more productive and attractive for investment, including limited residential and commercial use in some industrial plots. For Belagavi, the move could be especially significant. The district administration describes Belagavi as a fast-growing industrial district, while the state industries department says the city has a strong foundry and engineering base. Official profiles also note that Belagavi has multiple industrial estates and industrial areas, making it a natural candidate for such mixed commercial activity. In practical terms, the new rules could help industrial plot owners unlock additional income from surplus land by developing training centres, banks, hotels, corporate offices and other business support facilities.

The company is accused of collecting deposits from members of the public without providing adequate security and luring investors with promises of unusually high returns. Authorities suspect that the funds collected were diverted for purposes other than those represented to depositors. A complaint against the firm had been lodged with the Karnataka Protection of Interest of Depositors (KPID) authorities and the BUDS Cell. Acting on the complaint, the SDO-led team inspected the company's office and examined financial and business records. According to preliminary findings, Adityaraj Capital Pvt. Ltd. reportedly operated across Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Karnataka, offering returns of up to 5 per cent per month to attract investors. Investigators have reportedly uncovered records relating to more than 3,500 investors. Sources indicate that depositors from Haliyal and Dandeli may also have been affected, prompting demands for a wider investigation into the company's activities in those areas. Personnel from the Tilakwadi Police Station provided security during the operation. Officials are now scrutinising the company's financial transactions, investment practices and the utilisation of depositors' funds. More details are expected to emerge as the investigation progresses. > A detailed timeline of Belagavi's 24x7 water supply project, from the World Bank-backed pilot launched in 2003 to L&T's citywide contract in 2020, missed deadlines, delays, and the latest completion target of March 2027. - Published: 2026-06-04 - Modified: 2026-06-04 - URL: https://allaboutbelgaum.com/news/belagavi-24x7-water-supply-project-lt-timeline/ - Categories: News Belagavi's citywide 24x7 water supply project was expected to be completed within five years of the contract award.

Considered a vital infrastructure project for the Karnataka–Maharashtra border region, the proposed broad-gauge railway line is expected to strengthen connectivity and boost economic activity across both states. The proposed route, estimated to be around 58 km long, will pass through Parakanhatti and Sankeshwar before reaching Kolhapur. A technical team from the Railway Administration has commenced field inspections, measurements and route planning as part of the Preliminary Engineering and Traffic (PET) Survey. Approximately ₹55 lakh was sanctioned for the exercise. Modern technologies such as drones, GPS-based mapping and digital terrain assessment are being used to ensure accurate route planning. At present, passengers travelling between Belagavi and Kolhapur by rail must take a longer route via Miraj, resulting in increased travel time and cost. The proposed direct rail link is expected to substantially reduce travel time between the two cities and improve accessibility across the border region. The railway corridor will also enhance connectivity for key centres including Dharwad, Kittur, Belagavi, Sankeshwar and Kolhapur. Survey teams are currently assessing villages, agricultural lands, hills, rivers and streams along the proposed alignment. Planning for bridges, tunnels and potential new railway stations is also part of the ongoing exercise. The project builds upon earlier surveys conducted over the past decade.

The latest deadline set for completing the remaining works under the Smart City programme is June 30, 2026. However, work at several key project sites has come to a standstill after contractors reportedly halted operations over pending payments of nearly ₹4 crore. Among the major unfinished works are the Aviation Gallery, Rural Life Theme Zone, and other tourism-related facilities being developed as part of the Vaccine Depot Redevelopment Project. These projects were originally scheduled for completion by March 31, 2026, but remained unfinished even after the deadline expired. Belagavi was selected under the Smart Cities Mission in 2016, following which several infrastructure and urban development projects were launched across the city. While many projects have been completed, some major works have repeatedly missed deadlines, resulting in multiple extensions over the years. Sources said the latest delay stems from pending contractor bills that could not be processed due to procedural issues within the state finance department. Although an extension for the Smart City works was secured until June 30, the required technical and administrative approvals were reportedly not updated in time within the finance department's system. As the Smart Cities Mission officially concluded on March 31, 2025, and subsequent project deadlines lapsed on March 31, 2026, the finance department is understood to have withheld payment approvals, citing the expiry of the scheme and related procedural constraints.... - Published: 2026-06-03 - Modified: 2026-06-03 - URL: https://allaboutbelgaum.com/news/belagavi-woman-duped-of-%e2%82%b933-8-lakh-in-matrimonial-scam/ - Categories: News A 39-year-old woman from Belagavi was allegedly cheated of ₹33. 8 lakh by a man she met on a matrimonial website. The accused introduced himself as an engineer working in the Netherlands, and the two remained in contact from March to May this year. According to the complaint, the man gained her trust by expressing interest in marriage and regularly communicating with her. Over the next few months, he allegedly sought money under various pretexts, including urgent financial needs and difficulties transferring funds from abroad. Believing his claims, the woman transferred a total of ₹33. 8 lakh. However, when the promised marriage failed to materialise and the man became unreachable, she realised she had been deceived and approached the police. A case has been registered, and an investigation is underway. The incident serves as a reminder for people using matrimonial platforms to verify identities carefully and avoid transferring money to individuals known only through online interactions. - Published: 2026-06-01 - Modified: 2026-06-01 - URL: https://allaboutbelgaum.com/news/belagavi-registers-3532-new-vehicles-in-may-tvs-pips-honda-ev-adoption-remains-strong/ - Categories: News Belagavi RTO (KA-22) recorded 3,532 vehicle registrations in May 2026, marking a decline from the 4,082 vehicles registered in April and significantly lower than the year's peak of 5,510 registrations in March. With May's additions, the total number of vehicles registered in Belagavi during the first five months of 2026 has reached 20,311. Monthly registrations stood at 3,831 in January, 3,356 in February, 5,510 in March, 4,082 in April, and 3,532 in May. Two-Wheelers Continue to Dominate As in previous months, two-wheelers remained the backbone of vehicle registrations in the district. A total of 2,677 motorcycles and scooters were registered in May, accounting for more than three-fourths of all registrations. Motor cars came a distant second with 488 registrations, followed by mopeds (57) and agricultural tractors (51). Among transport vehicles, goods carriers led with 140 registrations, followed by three-wheeler passenger vehicles (50) and motor cabs (28). At the lower end of the spectrum, categories such as ambulances, library vans, three-wheeler goods vehicles, maxi cabs and adapted vehicles recorded just one registration each. Alternative Fuels and EVs Gain Ground Fuel-wise, Petrol (E20) vehicles topped the list with 1,383 registrations, followed by petrol vehicles (1,008). A notable trend continues to be the strong performance of electric vehicles. Pure EV registrations stood at 628, representing nearly 18 per cent of all registrations during the month. This is only marginally lower than April's 675 EV registrations and indicates sustained consumer interest in electric mobility. Diesel vehicles accounted for 288 registrations, significantly lower than petrol... - Published: 2026-05-31 - Modified: 2026-05-31 - URL: https://allaboutbelgaum.com/news/farmers-renew-opposition-to-land-acquisition-for-belagavi-dharwad-rail-line/ - Categories: News Farmers from several villages likely to be affected by the proposed Belagavi–Dharwad railway line project strongly opposed the acquisition of fertile agricultural land during a meeting convened by the district administration and railway officials in Belagavi on Friday. The meeting, held at Kumar Gandharva Rang Mandir, was attended by farmers from Iddalahond, Nagenahalli, KK Koppa, Garlgunji, Nandihalli and Halagimardi villages. Residents voiced concerns over the loss of productive farmland and urged authorities to reconsider the proposed alignment. The government has been attempting for the past eight years to acquire around 1,436 acres for the 73-km-long railway line connecting Belagavi and Dharwad. However, the process remains incomplete due to persistent opposition from landowners. Nearly 90 per cent of the required land falls in Belagavi district, with the remaining 10 per cent in Dharwad district. Farmers alleged that the route was finalised without adequate consultation with local communities and said the acquisition would severely affect agricultural livelihoods. They demanded that the government identify barren or non-cultivable land for the project instead of acquiring fertile fields. Strong criticism was directed at the government's plan to take over highly productive farmland. Farmers pointed out that the affected villages are among the region's major sugarcane-producing belts and argued that the economic impact on agriculture would be significant. Farmers said the villages facing acquisition collectively produce nearly one lakh tonnes of sugarcane annually. "These are highly fertile lands that support thousands of farming families. The alignment should be changed to protect agricultural interests," he said.

The auction process is scheduled to be held during the second week of June. As per the tender conditions, the parking charges have been fixed as follows: • Bapat Galli: ₹50 per four-wheeler for every three hours. • Club Road: ₹20 per four-wheeler for every three hours. The Corporation has also mandated that information regarding the approved parking fees be prominently displayed on display boards at the respective parking locations for the convenience of motorists. - Published: 2026-05-29 - Modified: 2026-05-29 - URL: https://allaboutbelgaum.com/news/fresh-encroachment-alleged-on-public-open-space-in-tilakwadi-despite-court-demolition-order/ - Categories: News Residents of Swami Vivekanand Nagar, Tilakwadi, have alleged that fresh unauthorized construction has come up on a public open space despite a court order declaring the land as reserved for public use and directing the removal of encroachments. The issue was formally brought to the attention of the Belagavi City Corporation (BCC) Commissioner by the Swami Vivekananda Welfare Association, which submitted a representation seeking immediate action against the alleged encroachment. According to the association, the land in question is an open space belonging to the City Corporation and earmarked for public use by residents of Swami Vivekanand Nagar and nearby localities. The association stated that despite repeated complaints and follow-ups with civic authorities, no effective action has been taken. The matter had earlier been adjudicated by the Court of the Principal Senior Civil Judge and CJM, Belagavi, in Regular Appeal No. 17/2020. In its judgment dated March 20, 2023, the court allowed the appeal and declared that the suit property was an open space reserved for public use. The court further issued a mandatory injunction directing the removal of the encroachment and unauthorized construction from the property within four months. The order also stated that if the encroachment was not removed, the decree holders would be at liberty to execute the decree for demolition of the structure, with demolition costs recoverable from the encroacher. However, residents allege that the court's directions were never enforced. They claim that the illegal structures identified in the judgment were not demolished and that additional... - Published: 2026-05-29 - Modified: 2026-05-29 - URL: https://allaboutbelgaum.com/news/belagavi-master-plan-moves-forward-after-five-year-delay-bengaluru-firm-x-impasse-groups-awarded-contract/ - Categories: News The long-pending Master Plan for Belagavi city and 55 surrounding villages has finally moved a step closer to reality, with the Belagavi Urban Development Authority (BUDA) awarding the contract for its preparation to Bengaluru-based X Impasse Groups. BUDA issued a Letter of Acceptance (LoA) to the company on May 27, following approval of its financial bid. The final work order will be issued after the firm deposits the mandatory security amount as per tender conditions. Once the formalities are completed, the company will begin detailed surveys, data collection, mapping, and preparation of the draft development plan. The project marks a significant milestone after nearly five years of delays, failed tenders, and cancelled contracts. Blueprint for the Next 20–25 Years The proposed Master Plan will cover an area of approximately 389. 41 square kilometres, including Belagavi city and 55 villages in the taluka. Once approved, it will serve as the guiding document for urban growth and infrastructure development over the next two decades. The plan is expected to define land use patterns, road networks, transportation corridors, residential and commercial zones, industrial areas, water supply infrastructure, public amenities, and green spaces. Officials said the updated plan is crucial as Belagavi's existing development plan has become outdated, making it increasingly difficult to accommodate the city's expanding population and growing infrastructure needs. Tender Approved After Multiple Delays The tender process reached its final stage during a video conference held on May 16 under the chairmanship of the Commissioner of Town and Country Planning.

In its crucial second-stage forecast released on May 29, the IMD lowered its country-wide seasonal rainfall projection to 90% of the Long Period Average (LPA), down from its April estimate of 92%. This shift is largely driven by a rapid transition toward El Niño conditions in the equatorial Pacific, which historically suppresses monsoon activity as the season progresses into August and September. The forecast map shows much of South Peninsular India, including the border areas of Karnataka and Goa where Belagavi sits (near 15°N latitude and 75°E longitude), shaded in a yellow zone. According to the IMD's regional multi-model ensemble: 45% probability of below-normal rainfall 34% probability of normal rainfall 21% probability of above-normal rainfall However, weather experts caution that this should not be interpreted as an outright prediction of drought. A 45% probability simply means that among the possible rainfall scenarios generated by climate models, below-normal is the single most likely outcome. There remains a combined 55% probability that the region could still see a normal or even above-normal monsoon. For Belagavi, the forecast suggests a need for strategic planning rather than immediate alarm. Because of the district's unique geography nestled against the Western Ghats, actual localized monsoon performance will heavily depend on real-time factors: the strength of the offshore trough, the frequency of low-pressure... - Published: 2026-05-29 - Modified: 2026-05-29 - URL: https://allaboutbelgaum.com/news/caretaker-arrested-for-stealing-gold-and-cash-worth-75-3-lakh-from-elderly-mans-home-in-belagavi/ - Categories: News The Camp Police have cracked a major theft case involving gold ornaments and cash worth over ₹75 lakh stolen from the residence of an elderly citizen on Club Road, arresting two accused and recovering the entire stolen property. Addressing a press conference on Friday, Belagavi City Police Commissioner Bhushan Borase said the prime accused, Rahul Kamble, had been appointed by the victim's family to look after the health and daily needs of an elderly man, Vishwanath, while his children were away. According to the police, Rahul Kamble gained the family's trust and regularly visited the house. During this period, he gathered information about valuables kept in the residence and identified the location of gold ornaments and cash. Taking advantage of his access, he allegedly stole the valuables over a period of time without arousing suspicion. Following a complaint lodged by Annapurna Vishwanath, a resident of Club Road, Camp Police registered Crime No. 41/2026 under Section 306 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) on May 11 and launched an investigation. The probe revealed that a total of 350 grams of gold ornaments worth ₹52. 50 lakh and cash amounting to ₹22. 80 lakh had been stolen from the house, taking the total value of the theft to ₹75. 30 lakh. Further investigation found that the stolen gold ornaments had been pledged at a branch of Muthoot Finance by the second accused, Babasaheb Katageri, to obtain money. Acting on technical evidence and specific leads, Camp Police traced and arrested both accused.

However, officials clarified that the final decision on the proposal rests with the Karnataka Electricity Regulatory Commission (KERC). Under the Electricity Act, 2003, licences are generally granted if applicants meet the prescribed norms. At the same time, the Commission is also empowered to consider broader public interest while evaluating such proposals. Tata Power has submitted its application seeking permission to operate in areas currently under the jurisdiction of HESCOM. At present, electricity distribution in Belagavi district is handled exclusively by HESCOM. If the proposal receives approval, consumers may eventually get the option to choose their electricity service provider, similar to the telecom sector, where multiple operators use a common infrastructure network. The move could introduce competition in areas such as customer service, billing systems, grievance redressal, and quality of power supply. Belagavi, which is rapidly emerging as an industrial and commercial hub in North Karnataka, has seen significant growth in foundries, automobile component manufacturing, engineering industries, MSMEs, and IT-related investments. Industry experts believe that improved competition and private participation could help reduce power outages and improve operational efficiency by lowering transmission and distribution losses. Tata Power already manages electricity distribution operations in major cities, including Mumbai and Delhi. However, the proposal has triggered concern among employee unions. The Karnataka Electricity Board Employees’ Union has opposed the move and warned of protests against allowing... - Published: 2026-05-27 - Modified: 2026-05-27 - URL: https://allaboutbelgaum.com/ulb-polls/belagavi-know-your-ward-number/ - Categories: ULB Polls - Tags: area wise wards, belgaum, city corporation, know your ward, News, ward area, ward info, wards, which area which ward The 58 wards of the Belagavi municipal corporation have been changed after the delimitation and to know the latest details about which areas fall into which ward number here are the details.

A team of senior officials from the South Western Railway recently inspected the project site and gathered details of the proposed construction. Discussions on the project are now expected to be held with the Deputy Commissioner. The proposed RoB is estimated to cost ₹32. 43 crore and has a completion timeline of 1. 5 years. The tender for the project was floated in March last year, and the contract has already been awarded to a private company based in Hubballi. Railway authorities have also formally requested the district administration to make arrangements for traffic diversion during the construction period. According to officials, the bridge will have a total length of 405 metres and a width of 7. 30 metres. On Monday, a team led by Muthyukumar, Assistant Executive Engineer of the ROB Division, carried out an on-site assessment of the location. The project had remained in limbo for some time due to opposition from local residents and business owners, along with ongoing work on the underpass (RUB) at the Fourth Railway Gate. Concerns have also been raised over the fact that the Phase-2 work of the Third Gate RoB has still not commenced, despite one side of the bridge already being operational. Similarly, the RUB work at the Fourth Gate is yet to be... - Published: 2026-05-27 - Modified: 2026-05-27 - URL: https://allaboutbelgaum.com/news/farmers-oppose-land-acquisition-for-belagavi-dharwad-rail-line-warn-of-massive-protest/ - Categories: News Farmers from Garlgunji and nearby villages have strongly opposed the proposed acquisition of fertile agricultural land for the Belagavi–Dharwad railway line project, warning the authorities that they will not surrender their land under any circumstances. More than 200 farmers recently met the Special Land Acquisition Officer of the Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board (KIADB) in Dharwad and submitted a memorandum registering their protest against the ongoing land acquisition process. The administration has been attempting to initiate land acquisition for the railway project over the past few months. However, residents of Garlgunji and surrounding areas have opposed the move from the outset, stating that losing fertile farmland would cause severe financial hardship to farming families. Farmers also alleged that despite their resistance, the administration is trying to push ahead with the acquisition process under police protection. Expressing anger over the developments, the villagers travelled to Dharwad to personally convey their objections to officials. They warned that if authorities attempt to enter their fields with police support in future, a large-scale protest movement would be launched across the region. The farmers made it clear that they would not permit land acquisition for the current alignment and urged officials to explore an alternative route for the railway line. They further stated that all farmers in the area would remain united in their opposition to the proposed alignment. 121. 31 acres in Dharwad district 407. 28 acres in Belagavi district 89. 08 acres under Phase Two in Dharwad Compensation of ₹250 crore has been... - Published: 2026-05-27 - Modified: 2026-05-27 - URL: https://allaboutbelgaum.com/news/cid-seizes-luxury-cars-as-shivam-associates-probe-intensifies-in-belagavi/ - Categories: News In a major development in the multi-crore Shivam Associates scam, officials of the CID brought Shivam Associates chief Shivananda Neelannavar from Bengaluru to Belagavi for further interrogation in the alleged Rs 4,500 crore investment fraud case. Neelannavar is currently being questioned at the Malmaruti Police Station. With the 10-day CID custody granted by the court ending on May 27, officials are expected to produce him before the court shortly. Since the court is scheduled to remain closed on Tuesday, preparations were reportedly being made to present him before the judge on Monday itself. The CID has meanwhile widened its investigation and issued notices to Neelannavar’s wife, actor R Abhilash and business associate Subhash in connection with the case. Following the notices, all three appeared before CID officers at the Malmaruti police station, where investigators are believed to be gathering crucial details related to the alleged financial fraud. Luxury Vehicles Worth Crores Seized As part of the ongoing probe, CID officials have seized several luxury vehicles allegedly purchased using investors’ money. The seized vehicles reportedly include high-end models such as the Land Rover Defender, Mercedes-Benz AMG and Toyota Vellfire, together valued at nearly Rs 5 crore. Officials also seized a Hyundai Verna allegedly used by Neelannavar’s wife. CID officers reportedly brought Neelannavar to his residence in Shivabasava Nagar as part of the investigation process before carrying out the seizure of the vehicles.

According to the Karnataka State Cyber Command (KSCC), two accused arrested in the Bengaluru case — Palak Bhai Patel and Amit Narendra Patel from Ahmedabad — are also allegedly connected to the Belagavi “digital arrest” fraud in which an 81-year-old businessman was cheated of over ₹15 crore. Based on inputs shared by Bengaluru cybercrime police, the Belagavi CEN Police secured body warrants against the duo and took them into custody for further questioning. Investigators believe the accused were part of an organised network involved in: impersonating officials from agencies such as the CBI and ED, operating mule bank accounts, and laundering money collected through cyber frauds across multiple states. The Belagavi victim had been threatened by fraudsters posing as CBI officials, who falsely claimed he was linked to a money laundering case involving former Jet Airways CEO Naresh Goyal. Fearing arrest, the elderly businessman transferred ₹15. 45 crore in phases between February 7 and March 9. The Bengaluru case followed a similar pattern. Fraudsters allegedly kept a 74-year-old retired teacher under so-called “digital arrest” for several weeks and coerced her into transferring nearly ₹24 crore through 26 transactions into multiple bank accounts across the country. Police investigations have revealed that several accused are linked to multiple cybercrime cases nationwide, further strengthening... - Published: 2026-05-25 - Modified: 2026-05-25 - URL: https://allaboutbelgaum.com/news/after-shivam-scam-belagavi-targets-4-more-ponzi-firms/ - Categories: News Following the major controversy surrounding Shivam Associates and allegations of cheating depositors, the Belagavi district administration has now identified four more suspected Ponzi companies operating in the district, Deputy Commissioner Mohammad Roshan said on Monday. Speaking to the media in Belagavi, the Deputy Commissioner said that a special fraud monitoring cell had been established at the Deputy Commissioner’s office last month under the provisions of the KPID and BUDS Acts to track and act against fraudulent financial schemes. He stated that the district administration has been empowered at the district level to investigate such cases, following earlier studies and discussions held under the Karnataka Protection of Interest of Depositors (KPID) framework during 2025. A district-level committee has also been constituted for coordinated action. Roshan said the administration is actively gathering information from multiple sources, including social media reports, media coverage, direct complaints, and even anonymous tips. “We have received several complaints from across the district. Discussions have also been held with the City Police Commissioner. We are currently examining four more suspected Ponzi companies. One among them has reportedly promised 5% interest returns,” he said, adding that action against these firms would be initiated shortly. The Deputy Commissioner revealed that the City Police Commissionerate is presently carrying out a digital investigation into the suspected firms. Strict legal action will follow once the investigation report is submitted, he added. Warning the public against unrealistic investment promises, Roshan said that even major banks are unable to offer annual returns of 9% pa,... - Published: 2026-05-25 - Modified: 2026-05-25 - URL: https://allaboutbelgaum.com/news/monsoon-precaution-187-trees-declared-hazardous/ - Categories: News With the monsoon season approaching, the Belagavi City Corporation has accelerated the removal and pruning of trees identified as hazardous across the city. Acting on the directions of Commissioner M. Karthik, the civic body has initiated precautionary measures well ahead of the heavy rains typically experienced in Belagavi each year. According to officials, several species including gulmohar, raintree, and silver oak were found to be structurally weak during a joint survey conducted with the Forest Department. Excessive moisture absorption over the years has reportedly caused many of these trees to become hollow from within, weakening both their trunks and root systems. Authorities noted that during periods of continuous rain and strong winds, such trees pose a serious risk of collapse. In recent years, multiple incidents of falling trees damaging vehicles and causing injuries and fatalities have been reported in different parts of the city. To address the issue proactively, the Corporation’s Environment Department began identifying dangerous trees as early as March. So far, 187 trees have been classified as hazardous. The civic body has also taken up clearance work based on last year’s pending list. Officials said nearly 50 trees have already undergone partial trimming and branch cutting to reduce risk and ensure smoother vehicular and pedestrian movement during the monsoon season. ## Quizzes & Surveys - Published: 2026-05-22 - Modified: 2026-05-22 - URL: https://allaboutbelgaum.com/qsm_quiz/belagavi-trivia-47/ Welcome to your Belagavi Trivia 47 In Belagavi RTO’s April 2026 data, which vehicle category led registrations?
