The Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) has ordered the immediate closure of the studio premises where the popular Kannada reality show *Bigg Boss Kannada* is filmed. This unexpected shutdown took place at the Bidadi site in Bengaluru South district following the discovery of serious violations of environmental regulations.
### Regulatory Breach: Studio Operated Without Necessary Permissions
According to the notice issued by KSPCB on Monday, the Bigg Boss studio, managed by Vels Studios and Entertainment Private Limited (Jolly Wood Studios & Adventures), was found to be operating without obtaining the mandatory **Consent for Establishment** and **Consent for Operation**. These consents are required under the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974, and the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981.
The notice clearly instructed an immediate halt to all activities on the premises. It also warned that failure to comply with the closure order would result in penal action under applicable environmental laws.
### Coordination with Other Authorities
To ensure the enforcement of the closure directive, the KSPCB has also sent the notice to several other authorities, including the Deputy Commissioner of Ramanagara District, the Managing Director of BESCOM, and the Executive Engineer and Assistant Executive Engineer (Electrical) of Ramanagara Taluk. This coordinated effort aims to strengthen compliance and oversight.
### Impact on Bigg Boss Kannada Season 12
*Bigg Boss Kannada 12*, hosted by renowned actor Kichcha Sudeep, enjoys a significant fan following. The abrupt shutdown has left fans wondering when the shooting will resume and how this will affect the show’s schedule.
For now, the production remains on hold as the authorities address the regulatory violations. We will keep you updated on any further developments.
