The District Central Cooperative (DCC) Bank plans to set up two oxygen generation plants in Belagavi district.
The bank’s board has agreed in-principle to set up the two units, one near Belagavi and the other near Chikkodi. But details are still being worked out, DCCB chairman Ramesh Katti said.
“The bank is studying various proposals submitted by agencies to set up such plants. We will finalise a project that can be set up in the shortest time,” he told
The Hindu on Tuesday. The bank officials are reading proposals and meeting technology providers. However, “we have a few unanswered questions, about expenses and the time line,” he said.

BENGALURU: BJP and Congress are scrambling to shortlist candidates for bypolls to the Belagavi Lok Sabha constituency and Basavakalyan and Maski assembly segments. The elections are likely to be held in late February or early March, and it will be another high-voltage clash after the recent Sira and RR Nagar contests.
The main parties will be eager to test their message and reach as they start early preparations for the 2023 assembly elections.
There is considerable interest in the Belagavi race as the district has often been the epicentre of Karnataka politics. Both BJP and Congress camps here are led by strong local politicians. BJP is thought to have the edge as it currently holds six of the eight assembly segments in the constituency.

BELAGAVI: It is democracy with a difference in the tiny village of Bellada Bagewadi in Hukkeri taluk of Belagavi district. While elections to Gram Panchayats are in full swing in Karnataka, this village, which produces sugarcane in abundance, has known its fate for seven decades. The Katti family, which is from this village, holds the reins here. Panchayat elections are not contested, instead, the candidates are elected unopposed, and villagers abide by the family’s decisions on any developments. Umesh and Ramesh Katti take all the major decisions, with the consent of the GP members and villagers.
