Overview

• The Chittapur tahsildar denied permission for the RSS route march planned for October 19, citing law-and-order risks if RSS, Bhim Army and Dalit Panthers held events on the same route.
• The Karnataka High Court directed the RSS to file a new application proposing November 2 and asked the Kalaburagi administration to report action taken by October 24, suggesting separate time slots to avoid conflict.
• The state issued a Home Department order requiring prior permission for private groups to use government property or premises for events.
• Municipal officials removed saffron flags and banners in Chittapur for lacking authorization, and police halted a related RSS procession in Sedam, briefly detaining participants before releasing them.
• RSS representatives told the court they have held more than 250 such marches statewide without incident, as BJP leaders condemned the denial and accused the Congress government of political targeting.
