Daring Mayor Continues action against Illegal Encroachments in City
Mangaluru: The Daring Mayor of Mangaluru, Kavitha Sanil continued to crack down on illegal encroachments in the City here on July 28.
The demolition drive of illegal encroachment began from Rao and Rao Circle.
Speaking to the mediapersons Kavitha Sanil said, “Today we have started our demolition drive. The pedestrians and vehicles plying in the area were facing severe problems. Builders who have donated their land to the government should co-operate with us in this drive”.
The Mayor further said, “Once they give the Dana Patra the land belongs to the MCC. During the construction, the owners do not leave the land, they wait until the building construction is completed hindering development work by the MCC. Those who have got the license to construct the building should vacate the land which they have donated to the MCC. Anytime we may develop the land for various purposes like road widening, parking, footpath, drainage etc.”
Mayor Kavitha also said, “On the Rao and Rao road because of the encroachments and street vendors occupying the road it has become very difficult for pedestrians and other road users, there is always a traffic jam in the area. When buildings are built along the road and after construction is completed we normally give the completion certificate after inspecting if all MCC conditions are met. Sometimes the construction work may take more than 6 years. Those who get the license to construct the building and give the Dana Patra should leave the land for MCC to carry out development work. In my tenure, I will crack down all the illegal encroachments in the city according to the law. We will continue our drive in three more places today”.
MCC Commissioner Mohammed Nazir, Revenue officer Praveen and others were also present.
Good job by Mayor. I hope that other political leaders from both Congress and BJP learn a lesson or two from this lady. What matters is the action, not just lecturing and speeches.
Just 2 Questions to the Mayor. Vehicles of all Buildings are parked right from BPCL Pump to Cream Caramel on Arya Samaj Road resulting in clogging of the road. No action has been taken till date inspite of Police Complaints and police giving an assurance that action will be taken. secondly apartment complexes have been altered to create a flat where originally a parking yard existed. no action has been taken so far so settle this issue.
THIS WILL COME UP AGAIN AS SHE FINISHES HER TENURE ! THESE BAD MUSHROOMS CANT BE AVOIDED /ERASED FROM THE EARTH EASILY WHICH ARE POLITICALLY SUPPORTED
