Mangalore, Aug 26: The district Congress has sent a proposal to the state government urging to shift the office of the deputy commissioner (DC) from State Bank to Alape-Padil, said MLC Ivan D'Souza in a press meet here on Tuesday, August 26.

The purpose is to decongest the city, he added.

Addressing reporters, Ivan D'Souza said that district in-charge minister Ramanath Rai, ministers and the MLAs are party to the proposal. For this purpose, 5.89 acres of land has already been identified in Alape-Padil, Ivan said.

He further said that in the last budget the state government had released Rs 135 crore to construct separate DC offices in as many as six districts in the state. The Congress leaders of the district had requested the state to include Dakshina Kannada district in the list, Ivan said. The state government has allotted Rs 25 crore to each of these districts.

The DC's building, if it comes up in the district, will include offices of more than 25 various departments under one roof. It is planned with the aim to develop even the outskirts of the city, he added.

He also said that the construction of Rang Mandir, which was proposed years ago but failed several deadlines, would be taken up again at a budget of Rs 25 crore. "Besides, the district Congress has also requested the administration to construct a cricket standium in the outskirts of the city. The construction work to build Abbakka Bhavan will start in Thokkottu at an estimated cost of Rs 5 crore," he said, explaining the overall plans mooted by the district Congress unit.

Ivan D'Souza said that he was happy that the flight between Kuwait-Mangalore was being resumed and said that it was the first issue he raised after he was nominated to the state legislative council.

Ivan D'Souza also seconded the proposal of MLA J R Lobo to grant holiday on the Feast of Nativity which falls on September 8. "It is a family feast, hence holiday is necessary," he said.

Shashidhar Hegde, Kodijal Ibrahim, mayor Mayabala Marla were among others present at the press meet.


'BJP ideology does not suit secular India'

Earlier, the Congress leaders led by MLC Ivan D'Souza celebrated the victory of Congress in the by-elections in four states including Karnataka.

On the occasion, Ivan said, "The people have supported the Congress and rejected the ideology of the BJP that is not suitable to our secular India."

The participants burst crackers and cheered for the Congress party.

    It is good gesture from ivan.But Mangalore being the district headquarters it require overall planning and development change. After Bangalore it comes next only for trade and commerce, seaport airport and other manufacturer. It is on the way to another METRO city at least after 10 years. So we requires overall planning instead of piece meal.

    Shifting of DC office and central bus stand out of Hampans' is the need of the hour. Also , there is a need to evict all those petty traders who have occupied the footpaths in Hampans' illegally.

    Good thought and initiative from Ivan Dsouza..he seems to be more proactive than J.R Lobo and our ex- 'Mr.Zero performance' MLA - Yogish.

    Ivan D'souzaji, this is a wonderful initiative. Next is to shift the Service Bus stand and KSRTC bus stand to the outskirts.
    I would also be grateful to you, if you can succeed in getting air horns and shrill horns from autos and buses removed by the concerned department for the convenience of the Mangaloreans.

    Mr. Ivan Enjoy for a little while and do not sit do some work and should be seen by the people. Just by press conference and not doing anything will not work. You are a young MLC and we want you to do some work or start some work for the people at large. Please do not walk the talk like Oscar Fernandes useless parliamentarian did nothing for DK please do not walk his path thats an advice to you.

    “DC's office likely to be shifted to Alape-Padil”

    Fire crackers for this!!!!

    This is just a shifting of government building. Sorry, likely to be shifted………………..that too not confirmed yet.
    And again this shifting is at the cost of public.

    I can’t see any social element on this.
