New DC office complex will be ready before 2019: UT Khader
Mangaluru, July 27: Minister of Housing and Urban Development UT Khader has assured that the new DC office complex of Dakshina Kannada district will be ready before December 2019.
He was speaking to press persons after inspecting the complex work of the DC office, which is being constructed at Padil on the outskirts of the city.
“The state government led by Siddaramaiah has sanctioned Rs 41 crore for the three-storied building in the area of 2.25 lakh sq ft. Of which, Rs. 10 crore was sanctioned, and one phase work has been completed in the past four months. Construction of the building will be completed within the allotted time.”
The Minister said that he would hold discussions with the Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister for additional grants.
“The project was initiated under the aegis of former district incharge Minister B. Ramanath Rai. While the new complex will accommodate 138 departments, separate provisions have been made to accommodate 234 vehicles in its basement. Meanwhile, all adjacent roads will also be developed for proper connectivity,” Khader said.
Revenue minister RV Deshpande will hold a meeting involving principal secretaries of various departments to sort out problems existing in the approval of single sites from the Mangaluru Urban Development Authority (MUDA).
Responding to the statement of BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal that he would have ordered the police to shoot intellectuals had he been the Union Home Minister, UT Khader said voters need to think about such statements. These sorts of statements surface from those who justify Gandhi's murder and glorify it.
Former minister B Ramanath Rai, Former MLA JR Lobo, MMC Member Shashidhar Hegde, Deputy Commissioner Sasikanth Senthil, Additional Deputy Commissioner Kumar, and others were present.

Delhi: Father, son held for killing 19-year-old woman in suspected honour killing
New Delhi (PTI): The Delhi Police has arrested a man and his son for allegedly murdering his 19-year-old daughter in west Delhi's Hari Nagar area, an official said on Friday.
The case first came to light on April 1 after a PCR call was received around 2 pm, alleging that a woman had been killed by her family members and her body was being taken for last rites, he said.
The accused, identified as Mohammad Maneer (55), a vegetable vendor, and his son Meraj Ali (19), were arrested in connection with the case, the officer said.
The victim had been in a relationship with a man from her native place for the past two years, which was opposed by her father, Maneer and brother Meraj, he said.
"When the girl did not end the relationship despite objections, the family killed her," the officer said.
On April 1, the police said that when their team reached the spot, they found that the woman's body was being taken for burial.
Acting on the input, the burial process was stopped over suspicion of honour killing.
"Police intercepted the family members and took possession of the body," he said.
Police said that the man who had made the PCR told them that the woman was in love with his cousin.
During the inquiry, police also interacted with the PCR caller, who said his cousin, a friend of the deceased, had informed him about the situation and suspected foul play, prompting him to alert the police control room.
The body of the woman was subsequently shifted to the mortuary of Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital for preservation and postmortem.
Police said that both the crime team and the forensic science laboratory (FSL) team were called to inspect the scene and collect evidence.
Police said that, as per the postmortem report, the cause of death was identified as smothering, indicating that the woman was suffocated.
A preliminary inquiry also revealed that the family had initiated preparations for the last rites soon after the woman's death, raising suspicion about the circumstances.
Initial investigation pointed to the family's opposition to the woman's relationship.
"The family members of the woman saw her with the man, and she was taken back home. We got to know that she was beaten up and even locked inside the house for some days," a source said.
Further investigation into the matter is underway, police added.
