Delimitation, reservation set to delay gram panchayat polls

Elections for over 5,700 gram panchayats in Karnataka are likely delayed until year-end due to ongoing delimitation and reservation processes. The Karnataka Panchayat Raj Delimitation Commission is assessing boundaries and seat allocations, a process expected to take at least two months, followed by three to four months for reservation assignments. Administrators appointed by deputy commissioners are currently managing day-to-day affairs as the five-year terms of previous councils ended earlier this year.

Private LPG stations hike price to Rs 120/litre, autos line up at govt pumps

Private auto LPG stations in Bengaluru are charging up to Rs 120 per litre, nearly double pre-crisis prices, leading to long queues at government-run pumps where prices are around Rs 90. The state government reports that public sector companies have increased daily auto LPG supply from an average of 56.7 metric tonnes to over 83 metric tonnes to address shortages, urging drivers not to believe scarcity rumors. Many private stations remain closed or see low demand, forcing autorickshaw drivers to charge passengers extra fares to cope with reduced earnings.
