The Belagavi Bar Association is set to celebrate a historic milestone—its 150th anniversary—marking a century and a half of its distinguished legacy. To commemorate this occasion, a grand event is tentatively scheduled for October 4, 2025.
Responding to a formal request by the President of the Belagavi Bar Association, Member of Parliament Jagadish Shettar met Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the Parliament House office in New Delhi and extended an invitation for him to be the Chief Guest at the landmark event.
Given the expected participation of over 20,000 legal professionals from across Karnataka along with High Court judges, the event is poised to be a significant gathering of the legal fraternity. The Prime Minister acknowledged the invitation, confirmed awareness of the upcoming event, and assured his participation, subject to final scheduling.
Additionally, MP Shettar brought up the launch of the “Vande Bharat Express” train on the Belagavi–Bengaluru–Belagavi route. While a notification for its operation has already been issued, the MP requested the Prime Minister to formally flag off the train and expedite its commencement. The Prime Minister assured that the matter would be taken up with the Union Railway Minister for necessary action.
