[CM of Karnataka @CMofKarnataka]

Our government has always respected the sentiments of the people of Karnataka.

The Cabinet’s decision to withdraw the Karnataka Parks Conservation Amendment Bill is also a reflection of this commitment to the people.

Taking into consideration the public opinion, concerns and sentiments, the government has decided to present its intentions more clearly before the people and reintroduce the Bill with the necessary amendments.

In a democracy, the people are the ultimate judges. It is the resolve of our government to honestly place our intentions before the court of public opinion and move forward with the people’s trust.

URGENT: Please help us locate my brother-in-law, V.S. Balasubramanyam (Bali), a US citizen of Indian origin.
Bali was travelling with the Isha Foundation S3 Kailash/Mansarovar group.
His last known phone location, confirmed to his family by Andhra Bhavan, New Delhi, was the Chinese Immigration Centre at Gyirong, Tibet, on the morning of August 26, when the devastating flash flood struck.
His family has had no contact with him since, and his current status is unknown.
If anyone has information about Bali or the S3 group at the Gyirong immigration centre, please DM me.
Please RT 🙏 and share this widely. @MEAIndia @USAndIndia

On behalf of the Government and the people of Karnataka, I warmly congratulate Professor Deepak Dhar, INSA Distinguished Professor at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences (ICTS-TIFR) in Bengaluru, who has been awarded the 2026 ICTP Dirac Medal. Awarded annually by the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), the Dirac Medal is one of the world’s most prestigious honours in theoretical physics. Professor Dhar shares this year’s honour with Bernard Derrida, Marc Mézard and Haim Sompolinsky, in recognition of “their pioneering contributions to equilibrium statistical mechanics and for extending its concepts and methods into non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, optimization problems, theoretical neuroscience, and, finally, artificial intelligence.”

I am delighted to note that Professor Dhar is the second Indian to receive the Dirac Medal, after Professor Ashoke Sen, who was awarded the Medal in 2014. Professor Sen is ICTS-Infosys Madhava Chair Professor at ICTS.

This makes Bengaluru the home of both of India’s Dirac Medallists!

ICTS, a centre of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, is a leading global hub for research in the theoretical sciences and a vibrant meeting point for the global scientific community. Its world-class research is complemented by a rich calendar of programs and discussion meetings. Every day, ICTS is helping strengthen India’s place on the global scientific map while nurturing a wider appreciation of science in society.

The Government of Karnataka has supported the establishment and further expansion of ICTS for a mathematical and physical sciences cluster. This is part of our plan for India’s first Quantum City, adjacent to ICTS at Hesaraghatta. The proposed Quantum City will bring together research, advanced laboratories, start-ups, industry and academic institutions.

For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter.

AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country.

Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.

The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models.

Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji should be careful of whom he meets. I know ordinary mortals like me who have defended @BJP4India in every forum, will never get a chance.
But people like @Mohanlal and @dulQuer will make it to 7 Lok Kalayan Marg whenever they want.
Now, these same people and their family have supported the violent protests by anarchists in Jantar Mantar. They have literally stabbed your Government in the back.
How come Vismaya Mohanlal and Dulquer Salman did not find time to post about the Delhi Police and RAF personnel who were brutally beaten up and stabbed by the so-called students at Jantar Mantar? Selective Amnesia.
And @ravi_major - Please stop defending Vismaya. You wore a uniform and i am surprised that you are defending Vismaya. She knew exactly what she was doing.

The CIO mindset - CIOs are busy nowadays. CEOs want progress on AI, their C-Suite peers want AI transformation resources, and everyone wants to move fast.

On the other hand the AI landscape is far from static, coding is a real use case, but costs are rising and headcount savings are being overwhelmed by increased demand. Other POCs on AI are still being figured out and ROI isn't fully realized. CIOs need to determine long term architectures, choose partners and technologies which will likely change a few times before we stabilize.

On the day job, (non AI side), CIOs need to decide which SaaS contracts to commit to where to retain flexibility, how to deliver the promises already made with projects mid stream, and what to redirect to pay for the AI landslide.

They need to find budget dollars to work on all of the following:
Priorities
1. Figure out AI, evaluate, commit to clear ROI and keep your powder dry.
2. Deal with Mythos and prepare for a new world of Cyber, rethink point solves vs platforms.
3. Create capacity in budget for increasing AI usage.
4. Evaluate the vendor landscape and evaluate how the vendors will evolve and determine strategic redirection where needed.
5. Prioritize hardware purchases where compute and memory prices are going to be on the rise for the foreseeable future.

This is normal in a technology super cycle. The CIOs will have to power through these dynamics. We are definitely seeing this in the equity markets with everyone trying to pick winners and losers. I think it's too early to draw long term conclusions. Customers are still adjusting to the economic realities of AI and reallocating spend, this reset is being reflected in the equity markets.

No words are big enough right now to overcome this empty feeling in the stomach. We were close, really close to another final but it wasn’t enough. We’ve given everything over these last 7 weeks and to fall short is hard to take!

I know the expectations are high and rightly so, we’ve been knocking on the door for 8 years now but again are missing that final piece of the jigsaw! That’s where we have to go away, process it and find a way to get better. I’m so proud of the boys and what we have shown throughout this tournament - some tough games and tough environments that we have overcome.

Some memories that will stay with us players and I’m sure you fans for a long long time! Going for glory doesn’t always mean you will get it. You have to fight for it, get knocked down, pick yourself up and go again and that’s what we will do, there’s no other way but to keep believing and keeping pushing.

Thank you to every single fan that travelled and showed their support in the stadiums. Thank you to every fan back home for believing in us. Thank you to the boys and staff for everything you have given. As always Win or lose, we learn and go again! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🦁

Safe footpaths are essential to a city that puts people first. Through our Safe Footpath Campaign, we are making Namma Bengaluru's streets safer, more accessible and easier to navigate for every pedestrian, while carrying out the drive in a fair and orderly manner.

Over the last three days, we have cleared encroachments from more than 200 km of footpaths across arterial and sub-arterial roads under all five city corporations. I appreciate the dedicated efforts of our officers, civic workers and everyone involved in taking this initiative forward with commitment and care. This is a strong beginning, and we will continue this work with consistency.

Every footpath we reclaim is a step towards a more walkable, accessible and well-planned Bengaluru. We remain committed to creating public spaces that are safe, inclusive and built around the needs of our people.

@krishnabgowda @GBA_office

[Krishna Byre Gowda @krishnabgowda]

Not just encroachment removal. We have also started repair of damages to the footpaths to improve walkability. We will spend ₹ 70 CR on repairs to footpaths.

ಕೇವಲ ಒತ್ತುವರಿ ತೆರವುಗೊಳಿಸುವುದಷ್ಟೇ ಅಲ್ಲ. ಪಾದಚಾರಿ ಮಾರ್ಗಗಳಲ್ಲಿರುವ ಹಾನಿಗೊಳಗಾದ ಭಾಗಗಳನ್ನು ದುರಸ್ತಿಪಡಿಸುವ ಕೆಲಸವನ್ನೂ ಆರಂಭಿಸಿದ್ದೇವೆ, ಇದರಿಂದ ಜನರು ಸುರಕ್ಷಿತವಾಗಿ ಮತ್ತು ಸುಗಮವಾಗಿ ನಡೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳಲು ಅನುಕೂಲವಾಗುತ್ತದೆ.

ಪಾದಚಾರಿ ಮಾರ್ಗಗಳ ದುರಸ್ತಿಗಾಗಿ ₹70 ಕೋಟಿ ವೆಚ್ಚ ಮಾಡಲಾಗುತ್ತಿದೆ.
