Mangaluru, July 21: In a bid to speed up work processes in Mangaluru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) Self-registration system will be implemented from August 15, said Urban Development and Housing Minister UT Khader.

Speaking at a press conference at the Circuit House, he said that the applicants must submit an online application and the permission letter will be provided within a week if the filed application is adequate. It is a revolutionary step, he added.

“Already discussions have been held with a software company. It needs Rs. 7.5 crore. For house building applications, permission would be given in a fixed time. Whereas For big projects, permissions from the various department in various ways would be given in a specific period. This system is being introduced first in Mangaluru. It will later be introduced in other parts of the state,” he said.

There are many problems with MUDA. Works are not being properly done there. Files are not moving swiftly. There have been many complaints that mediators are working between officers and people. MUDA Adalat has been organized at MUDA office on August 4 to resolve these kinds of problems. The Deputy Commissioner, MUDA Commissioner and other officials will be participating in the Adalat that will begin at 9 am, Minister UT Khader said.

“A system will be made to solve the public problems there itself by giving a token,” he added.

Taluk panchayat President Mohammed Monu, ZP member Mamata Gatti, Ishwar Ullal, Sadashiva Ullal, Santosh Shetty, Melvin D'Souza and others were present.

New Delhi (PTI): An Assam Police team on Tuesday is at the Delhi residence of Congress leader Pawan Khera for questioning in connection with a case linked to allegations made against Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and his family, official sources said.

The team formally informed Delhi Police upon arrival, following which a local police team joined and is assisting in the proceedings, the source said.

The development comes amid a political tussle after Sarma alleged that the Congress used "false information" sourced from a Pakistani social media group to level charges against his wife regarding multiple passports and overseas assets. He termed the allegations an attempt to influence the Assam elections and a punishable offence.

Khera had recently sought clarifications on Sarma's wife's alleged foreign assets, prompting a complaint and subsequent police action.
