With elections set for several gram panchayats statewide, the code of conduct is in effect, impacting the government-sponsored Kambala event in Pilikula. The Pilikula Kambala venue falls under the jurisdiction of the Moodushedde Panchayat, where the by-elections are also scheduled. Therefore, it has been decided to defer the event from its originally planned date of November 17.
Speaking to Udayavani, Dakshina Kannada Additional Deputy Commissioner Dr. Santosh Kumar said, “Due to the model code of conduct being in effect until November 26, we have decided to postpone the Pilikula Kambala. Once the code is lifted, the district administration will announce a new date for the event.”

The committee will discuss the new date on the same day. If any minor adjustments to the previously planned Kambala schedule are required once the code of conduct ends, the Pilikula Kambala will be organized accordingly. Otherwise, the committee may consider scheduling the event mid-week, said Shetty.
On November 11, Udayavani had already reported on the potential postponement of the Pilikula Kambala due to the code of conduct.
