The Karnataka Congress government has reversed its decision to remove religious symbols from newly installed streetlight poles in Gangavathi, Koppal district, following backlash from the Hindu community¹. The initial order, prompted by a complaint from the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI), aimed to remove symbols like a bow and arrow, a mace, and the name of the deity Tirupati Thimmappa, citing concerns over communal harmony. However, strong opposition from Hindu organizations and residents led to the withdrawal of the order.
