Kalaburagi, November 13: The district administration has finally granted permission for the controversial Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) route march (Patha Sanchalan) in Chittapur, Kalaburagi district, a decision that has generated significant curiosity across the state.

The district administration has permitted the march on November 16, from 3:30 PM until sunset.

The permission is conditional, limiting the participation to only 325 people, comprising 300 activists and 25 band members. The district administration has formally informed the Karnataka High Court about this conditional approval.

The RSS convenors had approached the High Court after the district administration initially denied their request for the march. A hearing was held at the Kalaburagi Division Bench on November 7, where Senior Advocate Arun Shyam argued on behalf of the petitioners. Advocate General (AG) Shashikiran Shetty, arguing for the district administration, informed the court that 11 applications for route marches had been received and that they were considering separate dates for each.

Two peace meetings were conducted regarding this dispute: one on October 28 at the Deputy Commissioner's office and another on November 5 at the AG's office in Bengaluru, as directed by the court.
