Mangalore, September 19: Making sure that the people of Mangalore will live in full confidence on the police force will be one of his top priorities, Manish Kharbikar, the new Police Commissioner of Mangalore, said.

Mr. Kharbikar took charge at the Police Commissioner's office in the city on Wednesday after being welcomed by Pratap Reddy, IGP (Western Range). A guard of honour was also given to him upon his arrival.

Speaking to media perons later, Mr. Kharbikar said that he looked forward to maintaining law and order in the city. “Priority is only policing. It touches all walks of life. Cities are areas with greater concentration of people and hence maintaining law and order is a responsibility that we have. People must follow the law and have confidence in the police”, he said.

Responding to the challenges that the coastal region have for him, Mr. Kharbikar said that he is new to the place but will work as per the police proceedures and the constitution. “It will take time for me to get familiarized with this place. But irrespective of where you work, it is according to the law, the Indian Constitution, and police procedure that we are supposed to work and I will do just that. I will hold discussions with officers here and chalk out my plans to go about my work in the days to come”, he said.

Seemingly giving an indication that he is a cricket enthusiast, Mr. Kharbikar said that he hailed from Rajesh Chauhan's Chhatisgarh and not M S Dhoni's Jharkhand. The 39 year old officer is an Engineering graduate and even worked with BHEL as an engineer for two years. He belongs to the 1998 batch of IPS officers and served as ASP in Bellary for probation. He has served in areas of Gadag, Gulbarga, Mandya in the past and also worked as an ADC at Raj Bhavan. He was also selected to serve in the UN Mission in Sudan. He was the DIG (civil rights enforcement), Bangalore, before taking charge here.

Karnataka govt mulls law to help investors sell off their unused land

News Network

January 28,2020

Bengaluru, Jan 28: The state government is set to allow investors who bought farmland for industrial and other purposes to sell it off if they fail to use it within seven years. The new buyers, however, must utilise the land parcel for the same purpose for which it was allotted.

An amendment bill in this regard will be tabled during the joint session of the assembly, which begins on February 17.

Currently, investors remain tied to unused parcels. Law and parliamentary affairs minister JC Madhuswamy said the amendment to Section 109 of the Karnataka Land Reforms Act, which deals with the purchase of farmland for non-agricultural purposes, would remove hurdles for disposal of such plots. “To prevent misuse of land, the bill makes it mandatory for the new buyer to utilise it for the purpose for which the land was purchased by the first investor,” he said.

The government will also table a bill which seeks to regulate the affairs of religious and educational trusts. It will empower the government to intervene in the affairs of the trusts when irregularities come to light.

“Currently, the government has no role to play when allegations of irregularities and mismanagement crop up against trustees. The bill seeks to address this,” Madhuswamy said. He clarified the government didn’t want to interfere in trusts’ affairs. But some issues, he added, were of concern: trustees illegally selling off the trust property.
