Self-registration system to come up in MUDA on August 15: Minister UT Khader
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.

Congress to contest only 11 out of 36 seats in Mumbai; Political analysts predict tough battle
Mumbai: Out of the 36 assembly constituencies in Mumbai, Congress will contest in just 11 seats in the upcoming elections. In the 2019 assembly elections, the party fielded candidates in 30 constituencies, but this time, it has reduced its presence significantly following its alliance with Shiv Sena (UBT). Despite several rounds of discussions led by Mumbai Congress President Varsha Gaikwad and MLA Aslam Shaikh, Congress secured only a few seats under the MVA formula.
The seats allocated to Congress are seen as BJP strongholds, making victory challenging, according to political analysts. Among the 11 constituencies Congress is contesting, four are held by sitting MLAs. Notably, Congress swapped the Bandra East seat with Chandivli, which is held by Shiv Sena (UBT). Additionally, seats like Byculla and Versova, which Congress had shown interest in, were ceded as part of the alliance arrangement.
"This is the fewest seats Congress has contested in decades, indicating its struggles within the seat-sharing dynamics with Shiv Sena (UBT) and NCP (SP)," said political analysts. Moreover, in Northeast Mumbai, Congress is fielding candidates in only one constituency.
In Mulund, NCP (SP)'s Sangeeta Wagh and Congress’s Rakesh Shetty have filed nominations, raising the possibility of Congress conceding all of Northeast Mumbai if Shetty withdraws. "We aimed to contest in 14-15 seats but were left with just 11, as Shiv Sena (UBT) had already announced candidates in several constituencies. We will, however, uphold the alliance’s spirit to maximise MVA's win," said Gaikwad.
