Mangalore, Dec 31: Dakshina Kannada district-in-charge minister B Ramanath Rai directed the district authorities to find alternate methods to increase the storage capacity of the newly constructed second vented dam at Thumbay, as the process of land acquisition around the dam would be delayed.

In a review meeting of the progress of various developmental works in Mangalore City Corporation limits here on Tuesday, he said that the land acquisition process could be delayed as the Land Acquisition Act 2013 would be enforced from January 1. This might delay the construction of the dam, he said.

The Executive Engineer in charge of the Thumbay vented dam work said that the civil work of the vented dam will be completed by May 2014. The delay in sanctioning the remaining fund is delaying the work progress, the engineer said.

He said that the water could be stored only upto four metres in the dam as against the capacity of seven metres, until the land acquisition process was completed in the submerging area.

Deputy Commissioner A B Ibrahim confirmed that the MCC had not yet started the process of land acquisition for the second vented dam and after January 1, it would become nearly impossible.

MLA J R Lobo suggested looking for an alternate method to increase the water storage capacity in the dam, without acquiring the land around it.

The district-in-charge minister instructed the authorities to work on the idea of constructing temporary check dams on rivulets that join the river, so as to ensure that water does not flow in other direction.

Note that intrinsic value drives the capital allocation decision at least as much as risk
tolerance.For over a century, the S&P 500 (and its antecedents) have reverted to a mean of about 16.5 times profits.

It appears possible to somewhat forecast your 20-year financial investment return from the present index P/E ratio.

Bengaluru, May 27: Congress leader Siddaramaiah on Wednesday hit out at Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa-led Karnataka government for allegedly "betraying" the people by not fulfilling its Rs 1,610 crore COVID-19 package promise.

Taking a dig at Yediyurappa over the matter, the Congress leader tweeted, "Chief Minister of Karnataka BS Yediyurappa has betrayed people by not fulfilling his Rs 1,610 crore package promise. He seems to be following his @BJP4India leader @PMOIndia @narendramodi."

"Crisis and vulnerability should not be misused for political gains and BJP for India is insensitive towards the same," the former Karnataka Chief Minister said.

On May 6, Yediyurappa had urged migrant workers to stay back as construction activities have resumed and announced a Rs 1,610 crores COVID-19 financial package for the state.

"A package of Rs 1,610 crores will be released as COVID-19 financial relief. One time compensation of Rs 5,000 will be given to 2,30,000 barbers and 7,75,000 drivers," the Chief Minister said.

Referring to media reports, Siddarmiah cornered the state government for asking the licence to release funds for unorganised sector workers.

"How can we expect washermen and other unorganised sector workers to have licence for their work?" he asked.

It looks like Karnataka Chief Minister is very far from reality, he added.
