Manipal, December 25: Chief Minister D.V. Sadananda Gowda on Sunday inaugurated the District Offices Complex here, which brings 43 government departments and the zilla panchayat under a single building.

The complex has been constructed on 12 acres of land at a cost of Rs. 30 crore. Speaking after inaugurating the complex, he said the BJP government was committed to providing services to people, who would not have to go through bureaucratic or political redtapism.

The Udupi District Offices Complex was the first in the State to be a paperless office. The complex was fully computerised. It was a model for the entire State. He said the staff shortage in the district administration would be solved soon as the Government had had decided to sanction filling of 50 posts, the Chief Minister said.

Mr. Gowda said the government had passed the Karnataka Guarantee of Services to Citizens Bill in the recently concluded Assembly session. This measure would provide guarantee of 152 services to the people. Normally, there were complaints of either bureaucrats or bureaucrats along with politicians not wanting to provide services to the people.

This measure would put an end to any high-handed behaviour either by bureaucrats or politicians.

Mr. Gowda said a demand had been made to construct a bridge at Havanje-Kolalgiri as it would reduce the distance between villages surrounding Brahmavar to Udupi by 16 km. A detailed project report would be prepared for the bridge. Funds for the bridge would be allocated in the next fiscal budget, Mr. Gowda said. Higher Education Minister V.S. Acharya,Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister Jagadish Shettar, Chairman of the Third Finance Commission Implementation Task Force A.G. Kodgi, MLAs Raghupati Bhat, Lakshminarayana and Gopal Bhandary, MLCs Kota Srinivas Poojary and Ganesh Karnik, were present.

The Chief Minister later chaired a meeting of the district administration in the presence of district incharge minister Mr. Acharya, MLAs and MLCs from the district.

Arrested

Meanwhile, police thwarted an attempt by the Janata Dal (Secular) workers to wave black flags to the Chief Minister.

The police took the party workers into preventive custody and released them after the inaugural function.

President of district unit of JD(S) Deviprasad Shetty condemned the police action as undemocratic. The JD(S) has been opposing the setting up of the District Offices Complex in Manipal, which is eight km away from Udupi and “inconvenienced ordinary people”.
