Mangaluru, Apr 18: Mangaluru City North MLA BA Mohiuddin Bava said that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah would lay foundation stone for development works worth about Rs. 8 crore at Surathkal on Thursday.

bavaAddressing media persons, here, Mr Bava said that four major works include construction of a swimming pool at Krishnapura at an estimated cost of Rs. 1.50 crore.

He said that facilities would be created at the sub-office of Mangaluru City Corporation at Surathkal to upgrade it as a zonal office. A sum of Rs. 2.25 crore has been reserved for it.

The MLA said that about 85 shops in the Surathkal market would be temporarily shifted to the Kendra Maidan, Surathkal, for building a modern market. A sum of Rs. 1.80 crore would be spent for creating temporary facilities for shop-keepers at the madian.

Asked whether such a huge amount was required to create temporary facilities at the maidan, the MLA said that as the shop-keepers shifted would have to be there till the modern market complex was ready, Rs. 1.80 crore was required to build facilities at the maidan.

He said that the modern market complex would be built in phases. An estimation for Rs. 130 crore has been prepared for it and sent to the government for approval.

The MLA said that the fourth work included upgrading Surathkal-MRPL Road into a six-lane concrete road up to a length of 800 m at an estimated cost of Rs. 2.80 crore. The road would be upgraded between Surathkal Town and Railway Gate on the road.

Mr. Bava said that the road is about 5 km long. The remaining stretch would have to be upgraded as six-lane road with the financial contribution from various oil companies and industries using the road. The companies and industries in the constituency would have to contribute funds under their corporate social responsibility scheme. The expansion project might require about Rs. 50 crore.

The MLA said that the companies and industries were spending funds reserved under corporate social responsibility in North India instead of in Mangaluru.

Mr. Bava said that underground drainage works would be taken up in 23 wards in the constituency at an estimated cost of Rs. 130 crore.

Bengaluru, May 19: Containment zones in Karnataka will be much smaller in size under the latest lockdown norms. However, rules and loopholes will be tightened and action against violators will be stringent in order to check the spread of the disease.

Revised guidelines issued by the Centre to the state, reveal containment zones are delineated based on mapping of cases and contacts. Intensive action will be carried out in these areas with the aim of breaking the chain of transmission. Therefore, the area of a containment zone should be appropriately defined by the district administration/local urban bodies with technical inputs at local level.

The health department is considering shrinking the size of containment zones from the existing 100 metres to open up more space for economic activities. Medical education minister K Sudhakar, also a member of the Covid taskforce, said additional chief secretary (health department) Javed Akthar will issue a new definition of a containment zone after the Covid-19 taskforce holds its next meeting.

“We are planning to further shrink it and restrict containment zones to an apartment complex, independent house or even a lane where the Covid-19 patient resides,” Sudhakar said. He went on to say bigger containment zones will impede businesses and normal activities in the vicinity, something which the government wants to avoid.

The minister said Karnataka will also do away with colour-coding districts. “With restrictions being relaxed for almost all activities, it does not make sense to pursue with colour codes. It is either containment zone or outside containment zone,” he said.

In rural areas, the minister said containment zones will be identified by the taluk heads. Government sources say it is difficult to restrict activities to certain areas or smaller location in rural areas as farmers and people will have to travel to the outskirts of their villages for their livelihood.

An official said, a containment operation (large outbreak or cluster) is deemed successful when no case is reported in 28 days from the containment zone.
