BJP gives false info on single site norm: Mayor
Mangaluru, May 8: Mayor Bhaskar Moily alleged that the BJP has been giving false information on single site norm.
Speaking to reporters here on Tuesday, Moily said that it was BJP which brought in single site norm during 2014. But now, it has been pointing towards Congress. The Congress has done various development works in its tenure. But the BJP leaders have been making baseless allegations. MLA JR Lobo has given priority on rural areas and worked in providing basic facilities like title deeds, house construction, development of markets and others. But let Yogish Bhat of BJP tell the people about his achievements in his four terms as MLA, he asked.
Under Nagarottana second stage special package, total 141 works were sanctioned in the city corporation limits. Of which 117 works were already completed and 17 are under progress, tender was called for remaining seven works. Out of Rs 100 crore, Rs 96 crore was already released and Rs 64.37 crore was already spent for various works, he said.
Deputy mayor Mohmmed Kunjattabail, former mayor Harinath, Mahabala Marla, city corporation chief whip Shashidhar Hegde, Congress leaders Santosh Shetty, Deepak Poojary and others were present.

Online fraud: Hotel chef from Udupi cheated of over Rs 1 lakh by WhatsApp contact
Udupi: Udupi City Police have registered a case of online fraud after a 62-year-old hotel chef was allegedly cheated of Rs 1.13 lakh by a woman who befriended him on WhatsApp, claiming to be based in London.
The victim, identified as Pandu Kariappa Poojary, a resident of Kuthpadi in Udupi, was working at a hotel in Mangaluru.
He reportedly came into contact with a woman identifying herself as Emilda William on WhatsApp. During their interactions, she told Poojary that she planned to start a cosmetics and hotel business in India and would meet him during a visit to Mangaluru.
On April 7, Emilda sent Poojary a flight ticket from London to Delhi via WhatsApp. The following day, Poojary received a phone call from a woman who informed him that Emilda had arrived at Delhi airport carrying a demand draft worth Rs 5 crore along with other items. The caller allegedly asked him to pay Rs 70,000.
Subsequently, Poojary also received a call from Emilda, who was reportedly crying and spoke about the situation. Believing the claims, he transferred a total of Rs 1,13,300 in phases using a scanner. He later realised that he had been cheated.
