Belgaum Municipal Corporation: As today November 1 is Karnataka’s Rajyotsav Day, the Municipal Corporation in Belgaum has again started the campaign of Kannadaisation. Municipal Corporation employees painted on the board in English and Marathi language at the commercial establishment. This is causing a strong reaction in the public. Police security was also kept during the operation on English, Marathi boards. Earlier also, a fatwa was passed that sixty percent of all billboards in the city should have Kannada text. Therefore, the name of the business establishment was written in small letters in Marathi and English. Even today, when action was taken on English and Marathi boards, the traders who had boards in English and Marathi only avoided action by covering the boards with cloth. As Karnataka Rajyotsava falls on November 1, Kannada organizations are making several demands.
