Newskarnataka-Mangalore

Mangalore: The existing problems in the Mangalore city are persisting and the development is far behind compare to Mysore which is at its height, said the Deputy Commissioner A B Ibrahim Speaking at an interaction programme organized by Kanara Chamber of commerce and Industry (KCCI) on Saturday, January 11.

Various problems of the city were analyzed and looked in to viz. Water problem, Yettinahole Project, Kadri Park, roads in Mangalore and others. Regarding the proposed high speed rail link between Konaje and Manipal, he said, “The project will happen very soon. It will benefit more than 10,000 students who commute between the educational and IT hubs at Deralakatte and the city. It will connect Deralakatte to Udupi through Mangalore city, which will greatly help in reducing the traffic on this route and reduce the time for commuting, thus helping in the overall development of D K district, as eventually Mangalore and Udupi cities will merge due to their expansion.”

Speaking on sports development in city, he said that the athletes in Mangalore are reducing and there is not a single person who represents the country from Mangalore. Even the police, judiciary and education department vacancies have not been filled up from last 5-6 months.

Mohammed Ameen welcomed the guest and felicitated the Deputy Commissioner on the occasion. Nigam B Vasani, vice-president at KCCI and former KCCI presidents, Latha R Kini, Muralidhar Ramani, T Subbaya Shetty and others were present.
