Mangaluru, Jul 21: A B Ibrahim, who served the Dakshina Kannada district as its Deputy Commissioner for over two-and-a-half years, has been transferred with immediate effect.

DCYoung IAS officer Dr K G Jagadeesha, will replace him as the new Deputy Commissioner of this coastal district. 38-year-old Jagadeesha (KN-2005) was serving as the Managing Director, Rajiv Gandhi Rural Housing Corporation Limited, Bengaluru till now.

Mr Ibrahim has been posted as the Commissioner for Transport and Road Safety, Bengaluru in the existing vacancy relieving Dr Ramegowda, IAS, of concurrent charge.

Leaving with satisfaction

Responding to the fresh transfer order, Mr Ibrahim said that he is leaving the coastal district with an amount of satisfaction having been able to accomplish some of the tasks he intended to perform.

During his tenure, he said, in order to decongest Mangaluru city, he initiated measures to shift the district office complex and the bus stand outside the city. “I am happy that the process of shifting district office is on,” he said.

All the more, Mr. Ibrahim is happy to be recognised as a “people's DC” for his simple style of functioning and being accessible to the general public in the district.

He took the initiative of providing basic amenities to the Male Kudiya tribe in Banjarumale in Belthangady taluk, who were completely cut off from the mainstream for decades now.

Mr. Ibrahim, being the Chairman of the Dr. K. Shivaram Karanth Pilikula Nisargadhama Society, conceived the idea of holding monthly festivals depending upon the season at the park to make it one of the major tourist attractions.

The initiative has been yielding results with more tourists visiting the nisargadhama every day and the pilikula being recognised across the state.

Though he is leaving the district without any major bad remarks, he said being a highly communally sensitive district, working in Dakshina Kannada was itself a major challenge. “However, I am happy that I have done justice to all without any discrimination,” he said.

He had made every effort to restore the glory of Dakshina Kannada as a major education and tourist hub.

We will definitely miss AB Ibrahim sir, who was one of the most efficient and honest DCs Mangaluru has ever witnessed. Whenever we met him on various issues we got positive response. Hope the young blood will be like his predecessor. Congrats to both

Feb 3: The Karnataka government is probably the only state to have so many nodal agencies to deal with investment proposals. There is the KIADB, Karnataka Udyoga Mitra, State High Level Clearance Committee (SHLCC), State Level Single Window Clearance Committee (SLSWCC) and District Level Single Window Clearance Committee.

While the government claims these have been created to speed up the process of setting up industries, they’re only delaying it. “A four-to-five year delay in acquiring land has become the norm,’’ say industry sources.

“These entities are only adding layers of obstacles to investors and is not really helping industries,” said a senior IAS officer.

While DLSWCCs are headed by deputy commissioners are empowered to clear investment proposals up to Rs 15 crore, SLSWCC, headed by the industries minister, clears proposals more than Rs 15 crore and up to Rs 500 crore. Proposals worth more than Rs 500 crore have to be cleared by SHLCC chaired by the CM. These entities have to meet regularly and clear proposals. But often, these meetings don’t happen as scheduled. “The delay starts from here,” said Vasant Ladava, industrialist and member of Karnataka Industries and Commerce, Bengaluru.

The single-window agencies involving representatives of departments like industries, revenue, pollution control board and forest are supposed to collectively give necessary clearances required for industries. “But, of late, they have become only project approvers without other responsibilities, leaving investors in the lurch,” said Ladava.

Hubballi, Jan 15: Leaders of the Muslim community, Dalit organisations, Congress Party, and others are staging a hunger strike at Dr B R Ambedkar Circle in Hubballi, opposing the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and National Register of Citizens (NRC).

Raising slogans against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, they demanded the withdrawal of the CAA and not to implement NRC.

"India is witnessing such a dictatorship for the first time. The BJP government is trying to divide people into the lines of religion, through CAA and NRC. This move is a threat for peace and harmony in the country," said AICC member Shakir Sanadi, who led the protest.

Sayed Tajuddin Quadri, Moulana Niyaz Alam, Moulana Nayimuddin and others took part in the hunger strike.

Former minister A M Hindasgeri, former MP I G Sanadi, F H Jakkappanavar, Pitambrappa Bilar, and others also extended support to the protest.
