CM built commercial complex on public road, alleges Vijay Kumar Shetty

March 14, 2012

Mangalore, March 14: Chief Minister DV Sadananda Gowda has built a commercial complex occupying part of a public road, alleged Vijay Kumar Shetty, Former MLA and Congressman.

Addressing media persons in a press meet in Kottara Chowki, Mangalore, on Wednesday, Mr. Shetty, backed by a few locals, said that Mr. Gowda has allegedly built a complex on land that was being used by the local people there as a road. He also said that the road even features in the proposed plan of CDP as a public road and hence, CDP too is guilty of keeping its eyes shut. “If there is any doubt in our allegations, let a third party engineer carry out a survey. You will find that violation has taken place”, he said.

He also informed that after accumulating some more documents, a complaint would be filed with the Lokayukta.

Ajit Kumar, Former Mayor, said that the Mangalore City Corporation has been asking people to get rid of the cement bars used as shades in houses if they appear to have come out of the land's prescribed limit. “But in Mr. Gowda's building, there is a huge deviation and encroachment. The MCC gave the project license. But in the completion certificate, there is no mention of this deviation”, he said.

When asked as to what he thinks about the Congress leader Ms. Margaret Alva's denial to give land for road widening in Balmatta area, Mr. Shetty said “If we speak about it now, this case will become weak”.

Bengaluru, Jul 9: Karnataka Medical Education Minister K Sudhakar on Wednesday said the private hospitals in the state have joined hands with the state government in the fight against COVID-19 and will provide 3,500 beds for patients.

"The meeting with managements of private hospitals has been successful and they have agreed to provide 3,500 beds for COVID-19 treatment," he said while addressing a press conference.

Pointing out that the step would help in providing more beds for COVID-19 patients, he added, "The state government is thankful to the private sector for joining hands with the government in this fight against the pandemic. Apart from beds, private hospitals will also run COVID-19 care centres in collaboration with hotels to treat asymptomatic and people with mild symptoms. Together with beds and COVID-19 care centres, private hospitals will add 6,000 to 7,000 beds in coming days," he said while addressing a press conference.

The minister while clarifying on JJM Medical College stipend issue said he had a number of meetings with the college as also the CM. "Held several meetings with the college management in this regard. I also discussed the same with Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa. He already asked the college management to release the stipend of Resident Doctors and PG Medicos immediately. Now it is up to the college management to act.

Urging the residents of the state to fight the pandemic with honesty, the minister said, "We should be honest about the virus and get tested ourselves without hiding it. Wearing masks, social distancing and following government guidelines are the weapon against COVID-19, which would help us to win this war."
