Communal tension was reported during Shivaji Jayanti processions in parts of Karnataka’s Bagalkote and Hyderabad’s Amberpet, leading to heightened security measures. Police forces were deployed in large numbers in sensitive areas to maintain law and order and prevent any untoward incidents.

Authorities closely monitored the situation, ensuring that the celebrations continued peacefully despite the tense atmosphere. Officials urged citizens to remain calm and cooperate with law enforcement to avoid escalation.

Meanwhile, a separate development triggered a political storm after Karnataka Public Works Department Minister Satish Jarkiholi made a controversial statement regarding corruption in government contracts. The minister openly acknowledged that the “commission practice” in public works existed in the past, continues in the present, and is likely to persist in the future.

His remarks drew sharp reactions from political leaders and the public, with many questioning the transparency and accountability in government systems. Critics demanded strict action and reforms to address corruption, while others called for a detailed clarification from the minister.

The combined developments have intensified discussions around public safety, governance, and accountability in both states.
