February 19, 2017

Bengaluru, Feb 19: BJP leaders on Saturday submitted a memorandum to the Bengaluru police commissioner seeking action against ministers M?B?Patil, Basavaraj Rayareddy, Ramesh Kumar and MLC?V?S?Ugrappa for their reported criminal conspiracy in releasing a shocking video involving B S?Yeddyurappa and Ananth Kumar.

Both Yeddyurappa and Ananth Kumar have alleged that the video, which contains conversation over bribe paid to their party’s leadership in Delhi, was doctored. However, Congress released claimed that the video was authentic and that they received it from a disgruntled BJP leaders.

A delegation comprising MLC V?Somanna and leaders Dr Ashwath Narayan, Ravi Subramanya, Vijay Kumar and Subbanna met the police commissioner Praveen Sood at his office and submitted a memorandum.

Congress leaders “doctored electronic records, fabricated false evidence to malign the BJP leaders and misled the public” about the state BJP president B?S?Yeddyurappa’s claim that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah paid Rs 1,000 crore to the Congress high command to retain his position. They sought action against the ministers under IT?Act and IPC?Section 196 (using evidence known to be false). “We have received a memorandum from the BJP leaders. We are looking into it,” Sood told DH.

On Friday, Ivan D’Souza, government chief whip in the Legislative Council, lodged a complaint with the Malleswaram police seeking action against Yeddyurappa and Ananth Kumar for discussing payments made to their high command. The Malleswaram police said that they were yet to get a report from the legal cell.

BJP is blaming congress only to hide bribe + swallowing of thusands of crores of rupees by Cheddiyoorappy. They dont have any other issue to go to public and show their bribery faces. I hope karnataka people will teach good lesson to bjp in next election.

Dear bjp member,

Don't create drama, just look solution and effort to develop our great Karnataka. We don;t want or interest to watch your dollata.
Either communal comments or blaming ruling govt only appear from your bjp bhikary jobless party.

Hope this time your party will vanish from the route.

Mangaluru’s ₹1,200 crore fix: Massive sewage overhaul to end city’s drainage woes

News Network

December 19,2025

Mangaluru: In a decisive move to tackle the city’s deteriorating sanitation infrastructure, the Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) has announced a massive ₹1,200 crore action plan to overhaul its underground drainage (UGD) network.

The initiative, spearheaded by Deputy Commissioner and MCC Administrator Darshan HV, aims to bridge "missing links" in the current system that have left residents grappling with overflowing sewage and environmental hazards.

The Breaking Point

The announcement follows a high-intensity phone-in session on Thursday, where the DC was flooded with grievances from frustrated citizens. Residents, including Savithri from Yekkur, described a harrowing reality: raw sewage from apartments leaking into stormwater drains, creating a "permanent stink" and turning residential zones into mosquito breeding grounds.

"We are facing immense difficulties due to the stench and the health risks. Local officials have remained silent until now," one resident reported during the session.

The Strategy: A Six-Year Vision

DC Darshan HV confirmed that the proposed plan is not a temporary patch but a comprehensive six-year roadmap designed to accommodate Mangaluru’s projected population growth. Key highlights of the plan include:

• Infrastructure Expansion: Laying additional pipelines to connect older neighborhoods to the main grid.

• STP Crackdown: Stricter enforcement of Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) regulations. While new apartments are required to have functional STPs, many older buildings lack them entirely, and several newer units are reportedly non-functional.

• Budgetary Push: The plan has already been discussed with the district in-charge minister and the Secretary of the Urban Development Department. It is slated for formal presentation in the upcoming state budget.
