Demand to open subdivisions of Panchayat Raj and Public Works Departments

Kushalnagar, Feb. 8: Kushalnagar Taluk Contractors Association President Sanne Gowda appealed that the government should take immediate action to open subdivisions of Panchayat Raj and Public Works Departments in Kushalnagar taluk.

Speaking at a press conference at Kushalnagar Patrika Bhavan, he said that there is a need to open a separate Kushalnagar subdivision due to the high pressure of work projects from Nellihudikeri to Shirangala in the taluk.

Kushalnagar, which was previously a hobli constituency, has now been formed as a new taluk three years ago. He said that a petition has been submitted to the MLA of the constituency and the government to open subdivision offices.

He said that contractors from outside the area should not interfere in the work tender process and should give priority and opportunity to local contractors in the Kushalnagar municipality.

Currently, contractors are facing financial difficulties. He informed that the estimated bill for the work done in all the departments in Kodagu district is over Rs. 200 crore.

The Kushalnagar Taluk Contractors Association meeting was held recently and Sannegowda was elected as the president, B.S. Jagadish, V.T. Dinesh, K.T. Arun Kumar as the honorary presidents, Doreswamy, M.R. Uthappa as the vice presidents, B.C. Muralidhar as the secretary, M.C. Anil Kumar as the joint secretary, Alif as the treasurer, B.S. Sashikira as the convener and Purushottam Rai as the advisor.

Sannegowda said that 12 directors have been appointed to the committee.

The press conference was attended by Vice President M.R. Uthappa, Secretary B.C. Muralidhar, Treasurer Alif, Joint Secretary M.C. Anil Kumar, Convenor B.S. Shashikira, Directors K.C. Madhu and M.E. Kumar.
