An expert committee has been constituted to resolve long-drawn issues related to length and tune of Naada Geethe (State anthem) and a formal decision will be announced before October 2, Minister for Kannada and Culture V. Sunil Kumar informed the Legislative Assembly on Tuesday.
Based on the expert committee’s report, the government will announce its decision before Gandhi Jayanti. The committee comprising Doddarange Gowda and other members has been asked to give a report in 15 days, Mr. Kumar told M.P. Kumaraswamy during Question Hour.
