Udupi, Apr 21: The inauguration ceremony and stage function of 21 residential complexes of Parivar Community Development Charitable Trust (PCDCT), located at Udyavar Mathadakudru was cancelled in a bid to avoid violation of any election code.

Recently, JD (S) district president Deviprasad Shetty had complained to the election commission that former MLA Raghupati Bhat was violating the election code by inaugurating these residential complexes. Hence the inauguration ceremony and stage programme was cancelled here.
