Udupi, Oct 23: Udupi DC Dr M T Reju visited the Paadoor ISPRL unit in Majoor village, near Kaup, on Sunday October 23 and urged the immediate resolution of problems faced by the local people.
 
"Women face problems from labourers coming in from outside Karnataka, and the issue must be dealt with in an appropriate manner," he said.

He also spoke of the need for alternate roads, the absence of which is forcing people to use longer routes.

On the issue of compensation, he said that it should match the market value. "Also, victim’s families should be given jobs,” he urged.
 
In reply, Veerabhadra, officer of the company, said that priority will be given to all these problems. “Basic needs also will be given importance. Shirva-Shanthigudde-Majoor road will be repaired by May to serve as an alternate road. Action will be taken to see that women are not facing problems from out-of-state labourers. Basic facilities will be provided in the village,” he assured.
 
On the occasion, the DC also visited the unit and appreciated the work there.
 
To a query on the complaint that an unscientific survey has been carried out with regard to Padoor-Thokur pipeline project, Veerabhadra said that another survey will be carried out soon. He added that the new survey would ensure that as many structures as possible will be retained.
 
Katapady Shankar Poojary, Devadas Hebbar and Arun Shetty Padoor were present on the occasion.
