Mangalore, Jan 14: On Thursday January 13, Karnataka Industrial Area Development Board (KIADB) began survey work in Kudubipadav near here. The locals feel that the state Chief Minister, B S Yeddyurappa, is failing to keep the promise he had made to the Pejavar Swamiji about six months ago, not to acquire additional agricultural lands for setting up special economic zones.
When the attention of Sri Vishweshateertha Swamiji of Pejavar Mutt, who was undertaking harmony visits to dalit colonies on the outskirts of the city on Thursday, was drawn to this development, he said he will continue his tirade against the acquisition of agricultural lands. “I will visit Kudubipadav on Friday, and hold discussions with the district deputy commissioner on this development,” he stated.
