Ahead of the first meeting of the Joint Action Committee on the issue of delimitation, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Saturday stated that today will be remembered as a pivotal moment in Indian history when the states united to safeguard the nation's federal structure by ensuring "fair delimitation". Taking to a social media post on X, Stalin wrote, "Today will be etched in history as the day when states that have contributed to our nation's development came together to safeguard its federal structure by ensuring #FairDelimitation. I warmly welcome all Chief Ministers and political leaders to this meeting, united in our commitment to #FairDelimitation."
Several pro-Kannada groups have called for a 12-hour bandh in Karnataka on Saturday, March 22, from 6 am to 6 pm. The protest follows the alleged assault of a Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) bus conductor in Belagavi for not speaking Marathi, escalating existing linguistic tensions in the region. However, Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar stated on Thursday that the Siddaramaiah-led government does not support the bandh. He urged organisations to reconsider, highlighting its impact on students whose exams are underway. Authorities are preparing for potential disruptions, with additional security forces to be deployed in Belagavi and other sensitive areas. Commuters, businesses, and students have been advised that the shutdown may affect daily routines.
Authorities have arrested 14 more individuals, including 10 juveniles, in connection with the recent violence in Nagpur, bringing the total number of arrests to 105, a senior police official confirmed on Friday. The official also stated that three additional FIRs have been registered regarding the incident. The unrest erupted on March 17, with large-scale stone pelting and arson reported in multiple areas. The violence was triggered by rumours that a "chadar" with holy inscriptions had been burnt during Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP)-led protests demanding the removal of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb's tomb in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district.
