Harish Kumar takes over as MCC Commissioner

Mangalore, September 22: K Harish Kumar took charge as the Commissioner of Mangalore City Corporation on Thursday.

The post of the Commissioner was vacant after the Government transferred Dr K N Vijayaprakash, and posted as Chief Executive Officer of Dakshina Kannada Zilla Panchayat in last July.

However Dr Vijayaprakash had continued to manage both the posts due to the delay in new appointment.

Taking over the charge from Dr Vijayaprakash, the new MCC commissioner pledged to continue the development works initiated during former's tenure.

Before coming to Mangalore, Mr Kumar was working as Assistant Commissioner in Puttur.

Dr Vijayaprakash, was serving as MCC Commissioner since August 2009.
