Mangaluru, Jan 20: Sri Vishwesha Theertha Swamiji, the chief pontiff of Pejawar Mutt, who was on a trip to Mantralayam in Andhra Pradesh suffered a back sprain due to a speed breaker on road while travelling in a car.

According to sources, the 86-year-old seer was on the way back from Mantralayam to Hyderabad on Friday when the incident took place. When the car reached Nandyal in Kurnool district, the driver failed to notice the speed breaker. The car jumped all of a sudden and this caused sprain at the seer’s back. 

After the first aid treatment, doctors found him fit to travel from Hyderabad to Udupi. The seer flew from Hyderabad to the Mangaluru International Airport and from there travelled to Udupi by car. He reached the mutt at around 10 am.

Bengaluru, Apr 14: Bracing for post-lockdown hard times, the Karnataka government on Monday decided to auction about 12,000 BDA sites and regularise unauthorised constructions across the state in a bid to shore up its already-thin finances.

"Some 12,000 corner sites (developed by Bangalore Development Authority, or BDA) are lying idle in Bengaluru. We hope to net about Rs 15,000 crore from the auction of the sites," chief minister BS Yediyurappa said after chairing a meeting with senior ministers and officials to discuss ways to raise funds.

"The Covid-19 pandemic has thrown Karnataka into a deep financial crisis. There's a need for such measures," the chief minister said in defence of the decisions.

The sites – mainly of 40x60ft and 50x80ft dimensions – are in nine layouts. Also, the state government will auction corner and vacant sites in layouts formed by development authorities in other major cities of Karnataka.

Industry experts said that in a tepid market, it wasn’t easy to find buyers for the sites, each of which costs about Rs 1 crore. The CM said, “Since it’s an open auction, I’m confident of a good price since corner sites are always in demand. If we don’t get the expected price, then we will stop the process.”

The meeting decided to fast-track disposal of the cases related to regularisation of unauthorised constructions pending before courts. “If courts decide these cases, then thousands of people will be relieved, besides helping the government in mobilising resources to take up development works,” the CM said.

The government hopes to get about Rs 4,000 crore from the layout-regularisation move.
The government decided to amend the law to allow hundreds of private and cooperative housing societies to allot residential plots.
