The popular reality show "Bigg Boss Kannada Season 12" has been abruptly shut down in the Indian state of Karnataka due to environmental violations.
Following action by the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB), the show's studio was sealed and all participants were ordered to vacate their homes immediately.
The action was taken on the grounds that the studio was in flagrant violation of environmental laws and was operating without obtaining the necessary permits. The board issued orders to immediately cease all activities and disconnect the electricity connection. As soon as the notice was issued, the administration instructed all participants in the show to vacate their homes immediately.
All participants were transferred overnight to the Eagleton Resort with security to arrange their accommodation. Following this decision, more than seven hundred people, including the technical team, lighting staff, camera operators and other staff, all had to leave their duties and go home.
This Bigg Boss house was specially designed on the vision of actor Kacha Sudeep and the magnificent palace-like set was built at a cost of around Rs 5 crore. The show was launched in a grand manner just a few weeks ago.
The state minister for environment and forests confirmed the action and said that notices were sent to the studio several times, but the management did not pay any attention. He said, "We had made it clear that compliance with environmental norms is necessary, but they deliberately ignored it."
During the inspection, it was found that untreated wastewater was being discharged from Jollywood Studios. In addition, the sewage treatment plant was not functioning, waste was not being segregated properly, and two large diesel generators were running continuously, causing environmental pollution.
Bigg Boss Kannada Season 12 was being considered the biggest and most spectacular season yet, but its sudden closure has not only disappointed the fans but also sparked a debate on social media. The organizers have been advised to approach the court if they wish.
