Mangaluru: Though the two additional taluks, Kadaba and Moodbidri were officially inaugurated in the Dakshina Kannada district, a couple of months ago, the government officials of several departments are still working at their previous offices only. Considering this, MLC and Parliamentary Secretary Ivan D’Souza cautioned of disciplinary action if the government officials do not go and work in their respective taluk centres within a month.
Addressing the reporters at his office in Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC), Ivan said, “Government officials, who are associated with Moodbidri and Kadaba taluks need to go and work at the offices of Moodbidri and Kadaba taluks only. However, most of the government officials are working in their previous offices only. Due to this, the residents of the respective taluks are facing several problems. Hence, all the officials should go and work at their designated work places only. If the officials do not shift to the new taluks within a month, I will recommend disciplinary action from the government against them”.
Ivan also informed that he had visited all the taluk centres to check whether the public is benefiting from the various government schemes or not. “Most of the government schemes are beneficial to the public. Some beneficiaries did not get some of the government facilities as there were some legal issues. Hence, I will raise this issue in the next session in order to bring some amendments to the existing schemes so that all benefit”, Ivan added.
Revenue and Pension adalats at Hobli level every month
Meanwhile, Ivan informed that both revenue and pension adalats would be held at the Hobli level, once in every month. “If the adalats are held in the district centres, then the problems of people who are residing in remote villages would not be solved. Hence, there are strict directions to hold both revenue and pension adalats at the Hobli level once every month. Village Accountants should voluntarily go and collect the required documents from the pensioners and help them avail pensions, every month”, he said.
