Mangaluru, Nov 17: B Z Zameer Ahmed Khan, Minister for Food and Civil Supplies, Minority and Wakf has directed officials to issue remaining LPG connections under the Anila Bhagya scheme in Dakshina Kannada by November-end.

During a review meeting at Circuit House, officials from Food and Civil Supplies Department said of the 1,586 beneficiaries identified in the district it had been planned to give LPG connections to 1,349 beneficiaries from the below poverty line category in the first phase. So far, connections were issued to 581 beneficiaries.

Mr. Khan directed officials to complete the process by the end of November.

When officials pointed to the demand for green gram as against tur dal at ration shops in the district, the Minister asked officials to make necessary changes and provide food grains that the region’s people needed.

The Minister said they are yet to finalise talks with private telecom service providers to set up systems for operation of point of sale machines in ration shops in areas in DK with poor internet connectivity.

There are about 25 areas having this problem. The Minister asked officials to act against ration shops that have deliberately not installed point of sale machines by falsely stating poor internet connection.

Mr. Khan said construction of Haj bhavan will be taken up after finalisation of land in Adyar in the outskirts of the city.

Bengaluru, Jul 22: Karnataka Congress President DK Shivakumar on Wednesday urged Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa to waive all property taxes in urban local and rural panchayats for a period of one year as citizens are bearing a huge financial brunt of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Taking to Twitter, Shivakumar wrote, "Citizens are bearing a huge financial brunt of the Corona Pandemic. It's imperative on the government to ease the financial burden on citizens. I urge CM B.S. Yediyurappa to waive all property taxes, in urban local bodies and rural panchayats, for a period of one year on humanitarian grounds."
In yet another demand, Shivakumar on Tuesday said the state government should give details of the amount it spent on migrants and labourers during the coronavirus crisis if it is transparent.

"The image of Karnataka has come to a very rotten position. We all know that Karnataka has failed in sorting out the problem. Let them (the state government) tell what has been the amount spent on the labour, migrants and food kits on the health department. We want an account (of the expenditure) if they are so transparent," Shivakumar said.

He said the state government should have approached the hospitals for treating COVID-19 patients and if any private hospital refused, a message should have been given that the government would take it over.

He also accused the state government of corruption.
