A need for reform in the award of parking contracts in railway stations has been voiced by many commuters.
The practice of repeatedly awarding parking contract to the same person without fixing any responsibility for improvement of amenities showed lack of transparency and disregard to complaints, say commuters.

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.
