Karnataka government decides to celebrate Tipu Sultan jayanti on nov. 10, every year

The event will be organised at the Ravindra Kalakshetra each year.

Three people lost their lives in clashes in Kodagu last year after outrage by anti-Tipu Sultan activists calling him a tyrant.

But now the Kannada culture department has earmarked Rs 60 lakh to celebrate the event statewide.
