No official decision yet on renaming Unkal lake
The Hindu
It is likely to come after model code of conduct ends
While a group of residents from Unkal and members of various organisations held a programme to rename the historical Unkal Lake as Channabasava Sagar, the Hubballi-Dharwad Municipal Corporation has clarified that no official decision has been taken yet on the issue because of the model code of conduct in force.
It might be recalled that on last Sunday, members of Lingayat community, residents of Unkal village and members of various organisations held a programme to rename the Unkal Lake and unveiled the name board of Channabasava Sagar.
Sri Channabasavanand Swami, who initiated and coordinated the event along with members of various organisations, had told during the meeting that the High Court of Karnataka, Dharwad, had directed the Municipal Corporation to take decision on the earlier resolution of Hubballi-Dharwad Municipal Council regarding renaming Unkal Lake. And they were expecting that it would take official decision keeping in mind the historical relevance of renaming the lake after twelfth century Sharana Channabasavanna, he had said.
