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.

Bareilly (UP), Nov 24: Three people died when their car fell into the Ramganga river from a partially constructed bridge here on Sunday, police said, adding that they suspect the driver was misled by its navigation system into taking the unsafe route.

The accident occurred around 10 am on the Khalpur-Dataganj road when the victims were travelling from Bareilly to Dataganj in the Badaun district, they said.

"Earlier this year, floods had caused the front portion of the bridge to collapse into the river, but this change had not been updated in the system," Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam said.

The driver was using a navigation system and did not realise that the bridge was unsafe, driving the car off the damaged section, the police said.

There were no safety barriers or warning signs on the approach to the damaged bridge, leading to the fatal accident, Shivam said.

Upon receiving information, police teams from Faridpur, Bareilly and Dataganj police station rushed to the spot. They recovered the vehicle and the bodies from the river, Shivam added.

The circle officer said that bodies had been sent for post-mortem. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
