Mangaluru: As the monsoons are expected to hit coastal Karnataka within a couple of weeks, MLA UT Khader on Saturday, May 26, informed that the district administration has made proper arrangements to tackle natural disaster during the monsoons.
Addressing a press meet at District Congress Office here in the city, UT Khader said,”The state government has sanctioned Rs 14 crore to construct berm mini break water wall in places like Hillary cross, Kaiko and Subashnagara in Ullal. Tender has been invited for the project. The construction work of temporary mini sea wall of 900 meters from Someshwara to Talapady at the cost of Rs 4.75 crore has already been started.”
Khader also informed that in cases of any damages arising out of natural calamities during the monsoons the affected people should inform about the same to the local administration through an application. The government would provide proper compensation for the loss, he added.
Regarding the JD(S)-Congress coalition government in the state, UT Khader termed this as an victory of the constitution. He also informed that High Command would decide on allotting of ministerial positions to Congress MLAs.
Reacting to the May 28 Karnataka bandh call given by BJP’s BS Yeddyurappa in case Kumarawamy-led government fails to waive farmers loan, UT Khader said it was a political gimmick.
