Karnataka holds its Cabinet meeting in Mangaluru instead of the usual venue in Bengaluru, with ministers travelling in a procession aboard an open-top double-decker bus. The event is presented as the first time in India such an arrangement is used to take ministers to a Cabinet meeting.
The shift happens after the Chief Minister decides to move the venue to Mangaluru at the request of Health Minister U.T. Khader. Outlets describe the Cabinet normally being held in Bengaluru, and they frame the Mangaluru venue change as linked to Khader’s request. The coverage focuses on the logistics and symbolism of the open-top bus procession rather than policy decisions or outcomes from the meeting itself.
Across the reports, the key details are consistent: the Cabinet meeting venue changes to Mangaluru, ministers travel by open-top bus in a procession, and the Chief Minister’s decision follows a request from Health Minister U.T. Khader.
