M'lore: Foundation stone for new Lokayukta office laid

January 31, 2011

Mangalore, January 31: The state government should fulfill its promise of giving greater freedom and power to Lokayukta to accomplish various tasks, said Lok Ayukta Justice N Santhosh Hegde.

He was speaking after laying foundation stone for the proposed new office building for the Dakshina Kannada division of Karnataka Lokayukta near Zilla Panchayat here on Monday.

He said it is impossible for the Lokayukta to function smoothly if there was no specific office or privacy for it at any level.

Hegde said that the cooperation from the side of public and district administration is very much necessary for the better functioning of an institution like Lokayukta at the district level.

While welcoming the government's move to build a new office building for the corruption watch dog in the district, Hegde, also recalled the earlier assurance of the government that a new office will be provided for Lokayukta in the premises of the office of Deputy Commissioner.

“Anyhow, today we laid the foundation stone for the dream building in Urva store, which is far from the DC office. If the Lokayukta office is established near government offices, government workers would naturally keep themselves away from the corruption,” he opined.

Mangalore MP Nalin Kumar Kateel, Deputy Speaker of Karnataka Legislative Assembly N Yogish Bhat, Chairman of Coastal Development Authority B Nagaraj Shetty, Zilla Panchayat Chief Executive Officer P Shivashankar were present.

Bengaluru, Mar 21: The news and public relations department, the Indian Red Cross Society and the Karnataka State Labour Studies Institute have invited volunteers for the programme to provide real-time information to people to avoid spreading rumours and misinformation about coronavirus.

This is an opportunity to join hands with the Karnataka government and fight coronavirus. These volunteers will be known as the "Corona Warriors", who will be entrusted with the job of monitoring social media sites to check rumours that are being spread across all taluks in the state. They will also take steps to provide proper information.

Applications are already being shared online and registered volunteers will be provided with appropriate training, security kits and identification cards at all district offices of the Department of Information and Public Relations.

At least four volunteers will work in four shifts per day in each taluk of the state. There are about 120 volunteers in Bengaluru city and about 3,000 Corona Warriors are expected to register from across the state. Over 400 volunteers have registered via online application on the first day.

Fifteen people have tested positive for COVID-19 in the state, said Karnataka Health Minister B Sriramulu on Friday.
