Mangaluru, Nov 22: S R Patil, minister for planning and statistics, IT, BT, science and technology on Saturday November 22 took officials to task for not completing various projects and gave them a deadline of 90 days to finish all the pending works.

He was presiding over the review meeting of Members of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme (MPLADS) and Karnataka Legislators Local Area Development Scheme (KLLADS) at Circuit House here.

Deputy commissioner A B Ibrahim too expressed disappointment with the pending works and delay shown by the MCC engineers. "People have lost confidence in the MCC. Even to construct an anganvadi they are taking five months," he lamented.

S R Patil warned that if the pending projects were not completed within three months, strict action would be taken against all those responisble for the delay in works.

Zilla panchayat CEO Tulasi Maddineni said that as money is coming in crores the engineers are taking the smaller works lightly, to which Patil replied that all works, whether big or small, have to be finished within the deadline.

Patil promised there would be no delay in the release of funds for the developement works. He also asserted that he would not compromise on the quality of work.

"We are public servents and we have to work in the interest of people. They are our boss. The lost confidence has to come back. I will not compromise on this. If the pending works are not completed within 3 months, be ready for strict action," he said.

Executive engineer Rajashekar, MLC Ivan D'Souza, MLA J R Lobo and other officials were present.

Under the MPLAD scheme the pending projects were four in the year 2009-10, six in the year 2010-11, 12 in the year 2011-12, 36 in the year 2012-13, 95 in the year 2013-14 and 58 in the current year 2014-15.

Rs 204 crore was alloted in the budget, out of which Rs 98 crore was released and Rs 70 crore has been spent.

    Nalini & Shoba must have already claimed RS.5 Crores[Five Crores} each against MP development Fund for the current year. All the Streets,roads,National Highways, Flyovers, Ghat Roads mostly built during British rules r gone to dogs pocketing all the funds meant for the infrastructure projects. All Corrupt Politicians irrespective party they belongs to, & the third grade Contractors, Zilla Panchayat, Municipal Corporation staff all became Crore Pathis. Why Mr. Patil is not raising his voice in Bangalore for the poor condition of infrastructure here & the garbage thrown all over the streets & our Holy Cows r grazing in these mounds of Garbage. Thank GOD Britishers provided us very good Rail net work, through out India. Other wise we should have traveled by Bullock Carts on our Ghat Roads, when they r closing next month, Agumbe & Shiradi Ghat for repair & again to swindle crores of rupees meant for their repairs, year after year.

    The Minister should have gone for a city round to see the condition of road. Shame on MCC engineers even after 3 months of Rainy season at least road path holes are still not filled.

    I have written before, but I would like to add here that the Minister should also extend his kind courtesy to visit various spots in the city to witness the garbage being thrown on the roads. For e.g Nantoor, Padua College vicinity the truckers s all their dirt in the public. Visit Bikernakatta - No drainage, no garbage collection. I witnessed this for 3 months that I have been there.
