Shamanur Shivashankarappa re-elected unopposed as president of Akhila Bharatha Veerashaiva Mahasabha, with family members in politics.
Former Minister and senior Congress leader Shamanur Shivashankarappa was elected unopposed as president of the Akhila Bharatha Veerashaiva Mahasabha for another term on Sunday.
A note from the mahasabha said that the senior Congress leader was elected unopposed on Sunday as it was the last date for withdrawing nomination and he was the only person in the fray.
While Mr. Shivashankarappa is presently an MLA, his son S.S. Mallikarjun is a Minister and his daughter-in-law Prabha Mallikarjun an MP.
Officials at the Parappana Agrahara Central Prison have now uncovered that inmates have been using internet dongles to evade the Tower - Harmonic Call Blocking System (T-HCBS) inside the prison. There are many dark areas and shadow areas inside the prison that are not covered by the three HCBS towers installed within the prison premises. Inmates have been using internet dongles in these blackspots to make calls over WhatsApp and other platforms that provide internet call facilities, a senior prison official told The Hindu.
