Bengaluru, May 16: A few MLAs are reportedly missing from the legislative party meeting that is ongoing at the Congress headquarters on Queens Road in Bengaluru.

The missing Congress MLAs are: Anand Singh, Nagendra, Bhimanayak, Ganesh Hukkeri, Yashwanthrayagouda Patil, Tukaram, Mahantesh Kaujalagi, Satish Jarakiholi and Ramesh Jarakiholi.

On the other hand a senior Janata Dal (Secular) leader revealed that only 32 of the 37 JD(S) MLAs have reached the party’s legislative meeting in Bengaluru.

The party was waiting for five of its MLAs to reach the Shangri-La Hotel in Bengaluru’s Vasanthnagar neighbourhood. He, however, insisted that the missing leaders were on their way to the hotel for the party's meeting.

BJP has plenty of looted tax payers money in hand. i am sure horse trading going on between the missing MLA's These greedy leaders are only after money and power.

Those MLAs are elected from the party ticket and they should not have individual power to submit approval.

It is the right of the party to whom they belong.

Such shameless candidates should be severly punished by the elected people so that no horse trading can happen.

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.
