Mangalore, August 10: The Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee on Wednesday urged the Dakshina Kannada Deputy Commissioner to stop the eviction drive by the district administration targeting poor families at Kasba-Bengre.

The houses belonging to Haseena, wife of Moideen, Badrunnisa, wife of Abdul Rehman, Hafsa, wife of Musthafa, Kunhimonu, Rizwan and Mohammed Rafiq were demolished on August 6 amidst tight police security.

The congress delegation led by Ivan D'Souza, Secretary of KPCC, met Additional Deputy Commissioner K T Viroopakshappa in the morning and urged the district administration to take appropriate measures to immediately issue the title deeds for the residents of the area.

Submitting memorandum addressed to the Deputy Commissioner, Mr D'Souza said that it is not appropriate to demolish the houses where 95% of people belong to Below Poverty Line.

The delegation demanded district administration should build house, in the same place where it demolished houses last week and allow the poor families to lead life peacefully.

He said it is responsibility of district administration to construct shelter for those homeless people. If the administration failed to do so, the congress will stage protest, he warned.

Imtiyaz, a victim who lost a house said “We were living in Kasba Bengre for the last 25 years with my mother Nebisa, six children, my aunt and her four children. We were living in a small hut till recently. We started the construction of the house one and half years ago. The house was nearing completion. In spite of appeal, the officials did not leave the house from demolishing.”

He said “We are ready to go to the jail if our family gets a roof over the head. I had applied for title deeds. I have ration card. However, the officials acted mercilessly.”

Mangalore City Corporation former member Farooq said “Almost all the houses in Kasaba Bengre, Thota Bengre, Kudroli Bengre, Bokkapattana Bengre are illegal. Why the officials evicted only six houses. There are several big bungalows violating the CRZ on the sea shore. Why are they not evicted?” he asked.

Former Mayor K Ashraf, Corporators Nagendra, Shashidhara Hegde, T K Sudhir and others were present.

Bengaluru, Mar 15: All 21 Madhya Pradesh MLAs from Jyotiraditya Scindia's camp, who were lodged here at Prestige Golfshire Club, have been shifted to Ramada hotel in Yelahanka ahead of Monday's floor test in the state assembly.

In view of their arrival, the concerned authorities have strengthened security outside the hotel.

Following the exit of Scindia from Congress, these MLAs claimed to have resigned from the state Legislative Assembly.

On March 11, Congress sent two of its leaders -- Sajjan Singh Verma and Govind Singh -- to Bengaluru in order to pacify some of these rebel MLAs.

Most of the rebel MLAs are perceived close to Scindia and were apparently unhappy at Scindia being "ignored" in the party.
Meanwhile, Madhya Pradesh Congress MLAs, who arrived in Bhopal from Jaipur today morning ahead of the floor test in the Assembly on Monday, have been shifted to Courtyard by Marriott Hotel.

These MLAs were accompanied by senior Congress leader Harish Rawat, who exuded confidence of Kamal-Nath led government winning floor test in the Assembly.

Both Congress and BJP have issued whips to all its MLAs for the legislative assembly session in Madhya Pradesh, which is scheduled to be held from March 16 to April 13.

On Saturday, Madhya Pradesh Governor Lalji Tandon had directed that a floor test will be held in the assembly on Monday.
