Udupi, June 21: Higher Education Minister V.S. Acharya said on Monday that a mini Vidhana Soudha would be built in place of the present taluk office. He was speaking after laying the foundation stone for the construction of a Circuit House on the premises of the Inspection Bungalow.
Dr. Acharya said the Sub-Registrar's office was in a bad shape. Hence, it would be shifted to the district treasury near the taluk office. The district treasury would be shifted to the district offices complex being built in Manipal. The district offices complex would be inaugurated on August 19.
The complex would have a helipad. A statue of Mahatma Gandhi on Dandi March and a statue of B.R. Ambedkar would be installed in the complex.
The new Regional Transport Office (RTO) along with a driving track building would be built near district offices complex at a cost of Rs. 3.5 crore.
The Circuit House would be built in 24 months at a cost of Rs. 3 crore. The present Inspection Bungalow would be retained, Dr. Acharya said.
Lokayukta office
Later, speaking at the inaugural function of the new two-storied office building of the Lokayukta, Dr. Acharya said efforts would be made to build four quarters for the Lokayukta police personnel at Ajjarkadu area in the city. There was now an anti-corruption environment in the country.
Lokayukta N. Santosh Hegde said although the Lokayukta might not have wiped out corruption, it had certainly controlled it.
