Mangalore, July 26: If the words of Mangalore Thahasildar Ravichandra Nayak prove true, those who have applied for APL ration cards in Mangalore Taluk, will get them within one or one-and-a-half month.

Speaking at the general meeting of Mangalore Taluk Panchayat, here on Tuesday, he said all the necessary things for Taluk offices including computers and printers were provided for this purpose. “The process of issuing the cards would be completed within one or one-and-half months”, he said.

He said that 61.53 acres of lands have been newly identified in 17 villages among 49 Gram Panchayats in Mangalore taluk, in order to distribute among site-less. The villages were Bajpe, Moodushedde, Badaga Ekkaru, Thenka Ekkaru, Aikala, Elinje, Bellayaru, Thokoor, Kuppepadav, Kolavoor, Muthur, Muchur, Kilenjaru, Kompadav, Mallur, Edapadav, Konaje.

He said that he had directed the Revenue Inspectors and Village Accountants to give a detailed report after identifying the available government sites and 'Kumki' sites in 19 villages.

When one of the members asked whether the reserved land of Survey No.33 under Ulaibettu Gram Panchayat, was the same land, for which once title deeds were granted, 15 years ago under Navgram scheme. Tahasildar replied that if the beneficiaries do not construct house within three years of issuance of title deeds, it will be violation of Act.

He also directed Ullal Surveyor Medappa to survey and mark the boundary of vacant house sites where beneficiaries did not construct any house in Subash Nagar under Munnur Gram Panchayat.

Title deeds

Mr Nayak said title deeds for 1935 beneficiaries have been sanctioned under City limits; of them 1816 beneficiaries have already received their title deeds. Yet 119 title deeds are pending as the beneficiaries did not pay land value, he said.

The 228 and 1769 title deeds under Municipal limits and rural areas have been issued respectively for all the beneficiaries.

He also confirmed that no applications of title deeds, in Moodbidri Hobli which have applied according to Section 94 (c) of the Karnataka Land Revenue Act 1964, are pending.

Mangaluru, Nov 26: Mangaluru East police have registered a case following a sophisticated online fraud where a 57-year-old local resident was allegedly cheated out of ₹13.4 lakh after being targeted on Facebook.

The scam began in February when the complainant, while browsing Facebook reels, was contacted by a woman identifying herself as "Lillian Mary George" from London. After establishing a chat relationship, the woman claimed she would visit India in November and bring a significant sum of money.

The trap was sprung on November 15, when the victim received a call from a woman named "Sonali Gupta," who claimed Lillian had arrived at Mumbai International Airport but was detained by customs. The fraudsters convinced the man that Lillian was carrying £25,000 (about ₹26 lakh) in traveller’s cheques and 1 kg of gold (valued at around ₹30 lakh).

Under the pretense of clearing these items, the victim was asked to make numerous online transfers between November 15 and 18 for various bogus charges, including:

•    "Pounds exchange registration"
•    "Customs declaration issues"
•    "Discount charges"
•    "Money-laundering charges"

Believing the fictitious story, the complainant transferred the cumulative sum of ₹13.4 lakh to various bank accounts provided by the fraudsters. He realised he was cheated when the culprits later promised a refund within two days but stopped answering his calls. The Mangaluru East police are now investigating the case, which highlights the continuing threat of transnational cyber fraud using social engineering and promises of fictitious wealth.
