The Aegis South Zone tournament in Bengaluru was struck by tragedy as Karnataka cricketer Hoysala K, aged 34, succumbed to a sudden cardiac arrest. The competition, brimming with excitement between Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, took a solemn turn with the unexpected loss of this talented player.
After the intense match against Tamil Nadu, Hoysala joined his teammates for dinner when he suddenly collapsed due to a heart attack. Despite swift medical intervention on-site, including emergency treatment by attending physicians, Hoysala could not be revived. He was swiftly transported to Bowring Hospital, but tragically, doctors pronounced him deceased upon arrival. The news sent shockwaves through the cricketing fraternity, with players, supporters, and officials mourning the untimely departure of this gifted cricketer.
Dinesh Gundu Rao, Karnataka’s Minister of Health & Family Welfare, conveyed his condolences via social media, stating, “Deeply saddened by the unexpected passing of Karnataka’s emerging cricketer, fast bowler K. Hoysala, during the Aegis South Zone Tournament. My heartfelt sympathies are with his family and friends during this difficult time.

The community rallied outside Ashok Nagar police station, demanding justice and expressing frustration. Some locals called for harsh punishment, while others raised concerns about migrant workers, though the Police Commissioner urged against generalizations.

Imagine a once-dry lake in Karnataka’s Bidar city, now buzzing with life, supporting local fishermen, and pulling in visitors from nearby cities. That’s the story of Janawada Lake—a stunning transformation that’s breathing new energy into the community and turning heads as a must-visit picnic spot.
How Janawada Lake Rejuvenation Turned Into a Sustainable Source of Income for Local Fishermen
Thanks to the Mission Amrit Sarovar program under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), this lake got a second chance. Back in 2022, the rejuvenation project kicked off, aiming to revive 91 lakes across Bidar district. Janawada was one of them, and boy, has it paid off! After two solid monsoon seasons, the lake is brimming again, proving that a little care can go a long way.
For the local fishing families, it’s been a game-changer. Two societies, made up of 65 hardworking members, are now thriving here, raising four popular fish species—goldfish, catla, mrigal, and rohu. In just two years, they’ve harvested around 10 quintals of fish, sending their catch to big markets like Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Pune. It’s not just about the fish; it’s about steady income and hope for folks who’ve long depended on this land.
But it’s not all work and no play. Janawada Lake’s peaceful vibes and lush surroundings have caught the eye of tourists too. “It’s the natural beauty and easy access that make it a perfect getaway,” says Girish Badole, the Chief Executive Officer of Bidar Zilla Panchayat. Whether you’re from a neighboring village or just passing through, the lake’s charm is hard to resist.
Janamma, the Deputy Director of the Fisheries Department in Bidar, calls it an ambitious success. “We took on this project to bring ponds and lakes back to life, and Janawada is proof it’s working,” she says. The Sagar Society, which leases the lake for fish farming, has turned it into a sustainable hub—balancing livelihoods with nature.
So, next time you’re looking for a serene escape or a peek into a community reborn, Janawada Lake in Bidar might just be your spot. It’s more than a lake—it’s a story of revival, resilience, and a little slice of paradise in Karnataka.
