Monday, Nov. 18: In a surprising development, the officials have submitted a report stating that no crop damage has occurred due to the heavy rains that have fallen this year. MLA Dr. Mantar Gowda objected to this survey report and lashed out at the officials.
The MLA, who presided over the quarterly KDP meeting organized at the Taluk Panchayat Hall here, expressed strong objections after seeing the officials' report.
There has been more rain than usual this year. Due to the untimely rain, coffee, black pepper and other agricultural products have been damaged. The officials' report is necessary to get compensation from the government. But the officials have reported that no damage has occurred. Farmers are facing problems due to the negligence of the officials. Dr. Mantar Gowda said that the survey needs to be conducted again.
Coffee and black pepper have also been lost in our garden. The extent of damage is high throughout Shantalli hobli. Along with this, Kasaba, Kodlipete, and Shanivarasante areas have also received more rain than usual. Coffee and other crops have been damaged due to twice the rain than usual in Shantalli. However, it is not right for the officials to report that there has been no damage, he said, criticizing Horticulture Officer Phanish.
If the officials give a proper report, the government will be able to provide compensation. The officials of the Revenue, Agriculture, Horticulture and Coffee Board should attend the District KDP meeting without fail. Mantar Gowda suggested that they would hold another discussion in that meeting and take further action. Members Jagadish, Sarathshekhar, and Sabita Channakeshava complained that the farmers are facing problems due to the unscientific actions of the officials.
Disciplinary action if money is asked: The MLA warned that if any department officer or 4A (first page) staff demands money from the public to provide various government facilities, action will be taken without hesitation. He said that complaints are being received about people being easily fooled and demanding money for housing scheme implementation, 9 and 11 documents and other work, and disciplinary action will be taken if the documents are received.
The MLA pointed out that 1,000 houses have been approved for the constituency through various government schemes and that they should be completed soon. Officer Bhanuprakash informed that the construction of 310 houses under the Basava Housing Scheme and 102 houses under the Ambedkar Housing Scheme is in progress.
The cases that have not yet started and the funds have not been released in phases should be identified and the officers themselves should go to the site and resolve the problem. Mantar Gowda directed that the housing scheme should be implemented effectively.
Action to stop rice sales
On Monday, the weekly festival day, most people from rural areas come to government work. In this context, he said that it is mandatory for officials to be in the office. He said that complaints are being received about receiving money from beneficiaries in some fair price shops. This should be curbed. He instructed Food Inspector Yashaswini to cancel the licenses of such shops.
Action should be taken to stop the sale of ration rice in Kalasante. He directed the officer to form a vigilance committee and conduct a surprise visit to at least 20 fair price shops per month.
No title deed
Around 800 families in the rural areas around Kodlipete still do not have title deeds. Due to this, it is difficult to get government facilities. Nominated member Aurangzeb said that the Revenue Department should launch a campaign in this area and provide documents.
The applications related to Uruduve, C and D, Gomal land have been kept as is. Tahsildar K.K. Krishnamurthy said that action will be taken to issue title deeds for Gomal land. A joint survey was conducted with the Forest Department regarding C and D land and all the land in one survey number is not C and D land. The Forest Department should identify their land and make a boundary. The MLA said that action should be taken to issue title deeds for the remaining land from the Revenue Department.
File not being disposed of
The MLA suggested that the Podi repair files should be disposed of by the end of December and action should be taken to hand over the documents to the farmers. After the arrival of the new Sub-Divisional Officers, the conversion files are not being disposed of. Member Aurangzeb drew the attention of the meeting that the officer is not inspecting the site. Mantar Gowda said that he will inform the KDP meeting about this.
The surveyors who are performing their duties on an outsourced basis are not working properly. Surveys are being carried out for private individuals. But the members Sharath, Adam, and Guarantee Committee President Kantaraj complained that the land of the farmers who apply to the department is not being surveyed. Along with this, the staff in the survey department are behaving arrogantly. They are not behaving in a friendly manner with the public. The members demanded that this be curbed.
Minister Santosh Lad has given a grant of Rs. 40 crore for the establishment of a residential school for the education of the children of the workers by the Labor Department. Although the land was marked in Channapur by the Revenue Department, the Labor Department has not taken possession of it. Now some people have gone to court claiming that the land belongs to them. The MLA expressed dissatisfaction with the officer, saying that the negligence of the Labor Department is the reason for this.

Adam requested the MLAs to give directions to the concerned PDOs in this regard.
