Mangalore, August 4: Dr H N Krishna, State Chief Information Commissioner has ordered the Karnataka Industrial Development Board to return submission for the claims made by Mangalore Special Economic Zone, which includes claims that MSEZ “is not established or constituted either by any law made by the parliament or the state legislature or by any notification issued or made by the Government.”

He was here to listen to the complaints regarding Right To Information Act at the District Commissioners office on Thursday.

Dr Krishna made it clear that it was the responsibility of the KIDB, which has a 23% stake in MSEZ to monitor the rehabilitation of the displaced and to make sure that “special package” reaches the affected population.

KIDB should also submit files on how it has acquired land for a company that does not fall under any law of the country, Dr Krishna said, pointing out that 3830 acres of land has been acquired by the KIDB for MSEZ.

KIDB had to face considerable fire from the State Information Commissioner as two more grievances were targeted against its actions and its lethargy to address the queries of the displaced such as Hemavathi and Bharath Gowda.

Majority of the grievances were regarding delays on part of the authorities in responding to the applicant's inquiries. Bharath Gowda had a delay of 256 days from KIDB and was also provided with incorrect information.

The land belonging to Bharath Gowda was for acquired for MSEZ nearly three years ago and a small compensation of Rs 22,000 was given compared to the allotted Rs 4, 28,000.

The Principal of Seetha Ragava Pre-University College, Pernaje was cornered by the State Information Commissioner for not providing necessary information related to the appointment of its History lecturer. He ordered to take appropriate action against the college which includes stopping the grants for the college if information is not provided.

Out of the 21 grievance cases, 14 were disposed in the Thursday's meet, while seven applicants were absent.

Gadag, Aug 1: A woman in Gadag district of Karnataka mortgaged her 'mangalsutra' to buy a television set for her children following the Karnataka government's decision to continue the classes through TV amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

A resident of Radder Naganur village, Kasturi, who is also a mother of two, purchased a television set against her 'mangalsutra' for Rs 14,000. She bought the TV after her children's school teachers asked them to attend classes via the television set.

Kasturi said, "I can not send the children to the neighbours' house every day and it was necessary for them to study. We had no other option but to buy a TV set."

She said, "Both, my husband and I are daily wage workers and during coronavirus, we do not have work or money."

"I sold my 'mangalsutra' for Rs 20,000 and bought a TV for Rs 14,000," said Kasturi while happily adding, "Now, my kids can study at home itself."

Kasturi's daughter, Surekha said, "We did not have the TV for several months but now when we have it, we will study and get a bigger 'mangalsutra' for my mother."
