Mangalore, October 23: Subodh Yadav, an IAS officer of 1999 batch formally took charge as the Deputy Commissioner of Dakshina Kannada district on Saturday, October 23.

This is Mr Yadav's second stint in the district, where he worked as the Chief Executive Officer of Zilla Panchayat a few years ago.

Head Quarters Assistant to DC Prabhakar Sharma welcomed the new DC with a bouquet at around 1:40 pm in front of the DC office.

Yadav was posted as Deputy Commissioner of DK district on October 20, when V Ponnuraj was transferred and posted as DC of Shimoga. Ponnuraj had left the city on Friday.

After assuming his new office, Mr Yadav said he would take forward all the development works initiated by his predecessor. He appreciated many land mark projects including computerisation and paperless office system, which was initiated for the first in the state by Ponnuraj.

“Many projects and works are under progress in the district including concretisation of roads in different parts of the city. And many projects are still pending. I will study the entire situation at least for a week before taking any crucial decision”, he said.

Asked how he plans to tackle the major problems of the district including land mafia amidst political pressure, he said: “Let me go through all the problems thoroughly first. Give me some time to study the situation before planning anything. There is a solution for each and every problem”.

He said the city of Mangalore has undergone a rapid change compared to a few years ago when he was in the city as the CEO of ZP. “Many roads have been concretised and a large number of huge buildings and skyscrapers have been constructed across the city”, he said.

Mr Yadav, who knows English, Hindi and Kannada, hails from Kanpur district in Uttar Pradesh. Earlier he served as the DC of South Division of Bangalore Mahanagara palike, Kodagu, Chikkaballapur and Gadag. He also worked as the Private Secretary in Union Ministry of Law and Justice in the recent past. Before passing IAS, Yadav has done his BE in Mechanical Engineering and M. Tech in Industrial Engineering

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.

Mangaluru, May 5: Even as the coastal city entered third phase of lockdown to contain the spread of covid-19, a wild bison was spotted in Mangaluru today. 

According to sources, local residents at Hathill area and Mannagudda area spotted bison. It is not sure whether it was the same bison or two different bison.

Some reports claimed that it was spotted in Kudroli area too triggering panic among people. 

With the help of local residents and police, the forest officials managed to catch the bison around noon. 

It is assumed that the wild animal must have come to the city as there was less movement of people and vehicle due to lockdown for past few weeks.
