All arrangements are in place for the smooth counting of votes polled in the election held in two phases on October 6 and 9 for village panchayat ward member, village panchayat president, panchayat union councillor and district panchayat councillor posts in rural local bodies of the district.
Since the counting of votes polled in the nine panchayat unions are being counted on Wednesday in as many counting centres where three-tier security arrangements had been made since 8 a.m., each counting centre will be monitored by six observers even as the counting goes on.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
