# Kannada groups seek action over Belagavi resolution delay 2026-08-07T18:39:20+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Kannada organisations have urged Karnataka’s Urban Development Minister Yathindra Siddaramaiah to act against the Belagavi City Corporation for delaying a resolution stating that Belagavi is an integral part of Karnataka. The demand concerns a resolution introduced about four months ago but not passed by the corporation’s general body. The Hindu reports that the State government, the Chief Secretary’s office, senior advocate Mohan Kataraki and Justice Nagamohan Das found no legal obstacle to passing it. Siddaramaiah said Karnataka’s position was unchanged and promised to seek expert advice on instructions to the corporation. Some activists demanded that the civic body be superseded or its funds stopped. Police arrested activists during an earlier protest. ## Coverage - thehindu.com Tags: Belagavi, Kannada organisations, Karnataka, Mahajan Commission, urban governance Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/kannada-groups-seek-action-over-belagavi-resolution-delay/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
