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.
