Udupi: CM Siddaramaiah accepts public request letters; people request for a govt medical college
Udupi: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah who was on his visit to the coastal districts of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi for the first time after getting elected in the second term, accepted request letters from more than 100 people at the Udupi Deputy Commissioner’s office premises.
Meanwhile, a delegation of Udupi Coastal Youth Club led by psychiatrist Dr. P.V. Bhandari submitted a request to the Chief Minister that a government medical college should be provided to Udupi district instead of a private partnership government medical college.
“It has been 25 years since the district came into existence, and we still don't have a government medical college, which is a tragedy. Koppal district, which was simultaneously formed with Udupi district, got a government medical college in 2013. However, Udupi has not been fortunate to have the medical college. The people of the Udupi district need a government medical college with all the facilities and not a private or PPP (Public Private Partnership) based medical college. Keeping in mind the welfare of the underprivileged, the decision to construct a government medical college in the district must be taken,” urged the delegation in a request letter to the CM. Ashok, Sandesh Shetty Nithin and Satya Devadiga were present in the delegation.
Similarly, a delegation from the 'Dalita Sangharsh Samithigala Aikya Horata Samithi,’ also submitted a request letter to the Chief Minister. Many other associations and organizations also submitted request letters to the Chief Minister, seeking resolutions to various social issues, to problems faced by students, women, and elderly individuals.
Minister Laxmi Hebbalakar, Mankal Vaidya, Deputy Commissioner Vidya Kumari were present during the program. In the meantime, tight police presence was arranged at the premises in view of the CM’s program.
