Mangalore, November 28: Protesting against the pathetic condition of the inner roads under the limits of Mangalore City Corporation, the City Committee of Democratic Youth Federation of India on Monday staged a demonstration in front of the MCC building.

Dozens of people took part in the 'MCC Chalo' rally, which commenced from Ballal-Bagh and culminated in front of the MCC building, where they warned the civic body of intensifying the protest if their demands were not.

The protesters expressed their anger against the civic body's negligence towards the unmotorable inner roads of the city, pending road repair works and unscientific concertisation.

Addressing the protesters, DYFI State Vice President Muneer Katipalla held both MCC and State Government responsible pathetic condition of the inner roads of the city.

“We need not to show where the potholes are. Let Chief Minister DV Sadananda Gowda show where roads are” he said.

He also said that the so called 'Sundara Mangalore Project' is aimed at serving real estate mafia and not for the road construction or any other development activities.

There are no less than 60 wards in MCC. But, the corporators spend money only on the wards of their interests, he said.

Low quality work and improper drainage facilities have worsened the situation of unmotorable roads, he added.

DYFI city presidents BK Imtiyaz, Secretary Santhosh Bajal, Dayananda Shetty, Naveen Konchadi, Sadik Kannur and others were present.

Bengaluru, July 31: Denying irregularities in covid-19 equipment purchase by the Karnataka government, the state unit of the BJP has issued legal notices to Congress leaders Siddaramaiah and D K Shivakumar demanding that they apologize or face a defamation suit. 

The notices seek a public apology for the allegations levelled against the government on irregularities in the procurement of Covid-19 equipment and supplies. 

Both Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar, the Karnataka Congress president, have been doggedly pursuing allegations of corruption against the BJP government and have demanded a judicial inquiry. 

BJP general secretary N Ravi Kumar said that while the Congress leaders claimed that Rs 4,157 crore was spent during Covid-19, they also allege that the government has not responded to any of the 20 letters written by them. "If the government has not provided any answer to the Opposition, where did they get the figures from," he said.

None of the allegations of corruption is specific and the statements made are factually incorrect. "These statements, without any basis, have been issued calculatedly to lower the image and damage the reputation of the government, the Bharatiya Janata Party, representatives of the party and the ministers in the government," the notice issued on behalf of Ravi Kumar read.
