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.

Jan 6: A Thane resident lost a little over Rs 1 lakh in an online fraud involving popular payment gateways, police said on Saturday. The complainant, a resident of Patlipada, wanted to sell his furniture and posted an ad on Facebook on December 21, an official said.

On December 24, he received a call from one Rajendra Sharma who offered to buy the furniture and wanted to transfer the amount through payment gateways — Paytm and Google Pay, he said.

However, instead of the money getting credited to his account, the complainant found that Rs 1.01 lakh were debited from him during three transactions on two payment gateways, the official said.

The complainant realised that he had been cheated when the accused assured that he would return the money and asked him for another account number, he added.

An offense has been registered against the unidentified accused under section 420 (cheating) of the Indian Penal Code and Information Technology Act and further investigations are underway, he said.
