Mangalore Today News Network

Mangaluru, Mar 09, 2018: The DYFI which has been on an indefinite dharna since the past  seven days to protest against the irregularities  in the Suratkal market  building construction  issue, has demanded a  thorough probe into the  temporary market building  tender process and construction related issues.

Addressing reporters on March 9, Friday, Muneer Katipalla, State President of the  DYFI  urged the Deputy Commissioner to intervene and initiate action against those who have misused  public property. He also demanded that everything right from shifting and  distribution of shops should be done systematically.   The shop distribution process which is already complete  should be cancelled and  done afresh, he urged.

He alleged that  the  distribution of  shops done through lottery  had a lot of discrepancies with shops in strategic positions given to those close the MLA and other influential forces. Those who availed shops through foul means have tried to alter the  building as per their wish, he alleged. Though  a complaint was lodged by the MCC after the DC was apprised, once again the  market lobby is ahead with the demolition works, he complained.

B K Imtiyaz, Srinivas Hosabettu and others were present.
