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.

Mysuru, Feb 26: The Pre-University Education Department was taking several measures to prevent paper leaks during the II PU examinations, scheduled to commence from March 4, a statement said on Tuesday.

Among the few measures that the board has chalked out, students would not be allowed to leave the examination hall till the last bell. In case of any emergency, the student could leave the exam hall but s/he would be required to surrender the question paper to authorities in the hall.

This is being done to ensure question papers aren’t circulated during exam hours by those who exit the hall before the last bell.

Bengaluru, Jul 27: Former Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy said that when COVID-19 has made life and livelihoods difficult, it is unfortunate that charges have been levelled of irregularities in the procurement of COVID-19 equipment.

"The Congress which has levelled charges against the ruling BJP has not so far filed a complaint with any investigating agency. Instead, the Congress has limited itself to getting publicity. On the other hand, the ruling BJP instead of coming clean by ordering a probe into the main charges is indirectly admitting the scam," Kumaraswamy said on Sunday.

"By washing dirty linen in public, both the Congress and the BJP are playing a cruel joke on people instead of protecting their lives," he said.

Hitting out at the BJP, he asked, "Why is it that the BJP is not ordering an investigation into the Rs 2,000 crore Covid 19 corruption charges levelled against the government by the Congress? Why is the government keeping quiet on the corruption charges?"

He said, "Is this the leadership provided by Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa? There could be political pressure on seeking resignation of his Ministers. But why has no action been initiated against any officers? Is there any effort to destroy the evidence by retaining officers in their existing postings?"

"Hunger for publicity is evident when we look at the press conference by five Ministers at a time," he said.

The government has countered the charges of the Congress but backtracked on ordering an investigation, he said.

"Would this not give rise to suspicion that the government is involved in the scam?" he asked.

He also asked why Congress leaders have not filed a complaint before any investigating agency despite "possessing documents to prove the charges".

"Are the Congress leaders trying to get publicity or are they concerned about the welfare of the people? The Congress Legislative Party leader is seeking an account (Lekka Kodi) while the BJP president is seeking answers (Uttara Kodi). Is it enough to give such questions and answers?"

Is there a concrete legal plan to deal with the irregularities? he asked.

"Looking at the way the Congress leaders have addressed media conferences and taken to social media campaigns, it appears that they are trying to get publicity," he said.
