Mangaluru: Move to new office in Padil within a month, ministers tell Dakshina Kannada DC
Mangaluru: District In-charge Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao and Revenue Minister directed Deputy Commissioner MP Mullai Muhilan on Sunday to shift to the new office complex of the DC within a month’s time.
The ministers, who were in the city on Sunday for the Republic Day celebrations, visited the new office complex and inspected the construction. They were appreciative of the spacious room and conference hall provided for the offices of the District In-charge Minister, the MP and the new office provided to Speaker and Mangaluru MLA UT Khader.
The minister, however, stressed that it was important that all the officers, starting with the DC, utilize the new facility and shift the offices of their respective departments to the building at Padil.
As DC Muhilan said more funds would be needed to allocate the remaining space for offices of the Enforcement Directorate and other Central government agencies, the Revenue Minister assured that the funds would be provided to meet the requirements of the office complex.
Dinesh Gundu Rao said on the occasion that a master plan was being devised to utilize the heritage building and the old office building of the DC at Hampankatta. The district officers also planned to develop the complex into a museum and cultural centre for people to visit, he added.
MLCs Manjunath Bhandary and Ivan D’Souza, Mangaluru City Corporation Commissioner Ravichandra Nayak and other officers and leaders were present on the occasion.

Woman duped of Rs 25 lakh in fake Canada visa scam; 1 held
Shimla (PTI): A woman has been arrested from Punjab for allegedly duping another woman of Rs 25 lakhs by promising her to arrange a visa for Canada, police said on Monday.
The accused has been identified as Manju Kumari, a resident of Punjab.
Senior Superintendent of Police SSP Shimla Gaurav Singh said that Manju had contacted the woman several months ago and had promised her to arrange a visa for Canada.
"After this, she asked for money for the same from the victim, which she transferred to her on multiple occasions. However, as time went by, Manju started to make various excuses and ignored her calls," the SSP said.
Upon suspecting being defrauded, the victim's brother registered a complaint, and a case was registered under sections 318 (4) (cheating), 61(2) (criminal conspiracy) and 352 (2) (intentional insults designed to provoke a breach of peace) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), the SSP said.
"Police teams were sent to Haryana and Punjab, but she kept evading arrest as she kept changing her locations as well as her mobile numbers. However, the police teams successfully arrested her on Sunday from a flat located in Kharar in Punjab," he said.
Further investigation into the matter is underway, and the defrauded money is also being recovered, he added.
