Director General and Inspector-General of Police (DG&IGP) Om Prakash formally inaugurated the website www.mangalorecitypolice.com in the presence of IGP (Western Range) Amrit Paul and Mangaluru City Police Commissioner S Murugan on Tuesday, along with launching a new user-friendly mobile application for Android phones for traffic related concerns.

Web portal with FAQs, online forms

The new dedicated website provides details such as contact numbers of top police officials such as the police commissioner, deputy police commissioner and assistant police commissioner along with those of inspectors of all police stations.

Speaking after the inauguration of the web portal, DCP (Law & Order) K Santosh Babu told mediapersons that all application forms pertaining to permits would be available online for the convenience of citizens. The website will also contain a section on frequently asked questions (FAQs), along with which there will be a facility for people to report incidents occurring in the city commissionerate limits with information and images, he said.

One-of-its-kind mobile app

The Mangaluru City Police also launched an app which will be shortly available in Google Play store on Android phones.

DCP Santosh Babu said that the app would primarily include six sections such as – Traffic Offence, Live Traffic, Emergency, Traffic Signs, Report Incident and Contact numbers.

One interesting feature in the app is the option available to view ‘Live Traffic’ – which will show the user convenient traffic routes to get around in Mangaluru city at real-time and also show if chosen routes were congested with traffic.

Similar to the option imbedded in the web portal, the option ‘Report Incident’ can be used to report traffic emergencies or violations directly to top police officials such as police commissioner, two deputies and police control room with information and images.

Besides this, people also can get helpline numbers like women help lines, child help line, fire service, ambulance, control etc.

After inaugurating the web portal, Mr Om Prakash told mediapersons that the demand for three new police stations in Mangaluru city police commissionerate limits (Traffic South, Kaikamba and Jeppu) would be taken into consideration.

With regard to the demands of retired police personnel, he said that the department had formed a committee to go through details of new schemes that could accommodate the demands of retired police personnel, since Arogya Bhagya could not be extended to such personnel.

Bengaluru, Mar 5: At 11 am on Friday, Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa will present the State Budget for the 2020-2021 fiscal. Coming at a time when the state is facing financial challenges, the budget is expected to have minor tax shocks for citizens, while making space for big-ticket allocations to the agriculture and water resources ministries. Thursday's budget will be Yediyurappa’s seventh.

“Agriculture is our primary focus. The recent gazette notification of the Mahadayi tribunal order is a welcome move for Karnataka and we will make budgetary allocations for this too,” the CM had said.

The cut back in devolution of funds for Karnataka from the divisible pool, trimming of funds from the Union Government for Centrally-sponsored schemes and tax collections falling short of revenue targets have made matters tough for Yediyurappa. The consolation may be the part payment of one installment of GST compensation from the Centre. The GST compensation, in part for the October-November period, was released to the state in time for tabling of the budget.

Mangaluru/Udupi, Aug 2: The twin coastal districts of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi witnessed sporadic movement of vehicles and relatively less commercial activities today in spite of the withdrawal of ‘Sunday lockdown’ by the state government. 

After the central government announced guidelines under Unlock 3.0, the Karnataka government has removed the complete lockdown concept on Sundays and done away with the night curfews too. So from today (August 2), there will be no lockdown on Sundays.

KSRTC operated its buses as usually. However, compared to other days, today the number of private and city buses on the roads in Dakshina Kannada was limited. 

In Udupi, city buses remained off the roads as the number of passengers was less. However, KSRTC and NARM buses were seen transporting passengers.

In containment zones ban on movement of people will continue till August 31 in Udupi. The Santhekatte market used to function on Saturdays, as there was Sunday lockdown on earlier Sundays. Now the market will be open on Sundays only.
