Amidst a cheering crowd at the airport, the Minister told mediapersons that he was all set to solve problems pertaining to drinking water and underground drainage system in Mangalore City Corporation limits after having a discussion with the officials concerned.
“Mangalore is a fast-developing city. With both the state and central governments having identified the potential here, a comprehensive plan to convert it into a major city will be underway. Several development programmes will be undertaken following a meeting of officials coming under my department on Wednesday,” he said.
Hoping to restore the city's tarnished image due to instances of moral policing, he said that preparations will be taken to enable the police department to prevent any untoward incidents, within the next six months, rather than making amendments after such incidents occur.
Touching on the subject of illegal land encroachment and construction of buildings in Mangalore, he said that the system of providing title deeds to people residing in government lands for a long period of time will be implemented shortly. The homes belonging to the poor will not be taken from them, he said.
Congress leaders Ivan D'Souza and Ibrahim Kodichal were present at the airport.
