The minister added that the coalition government is all set to offer full-fledged health care facilities at no additional cost to the beneficiaries across the state.“Health care facilities have been upgraded in many places and the services are being implemented free of cost. People below the poverty line should have access to better health care facilities,” Jayamala said.
Udupi MLA Raghupathi Bhat, ZP president Dinakar Babu, vice president Sheela K Shetty, Deputy Commissioner Priaynak Mary Francis, DHO Dr Rohini and others were present.
It’s high time now the Udupi District In-Charge Minister will take a round from Manipal to Karavali Junction and the Court Road till Kinni Mulki and take stock of the bad state of all the roads, and give orders to the Municipality and the Public Works Dept. to repair and resurface or concrete these prone bad sectors of all the roads. Good roads and good infrastructure directly reflect on the good management of the authorities appointed.
Also, the City Bus Stand in Udupi should be made FREE from all those North Karnataka labourers who have made this place their den for all types of vices, drinking, matka, prostitution, illegal vending, labour bonding, etc. The Superintendent of Police Mr. Laxman should look into this and act. This Bus Stand has become a total mess in recent years. Ladies and girls are not safe at all in this area when some many drunkards are found lingering or laying on the footpaths.
Mangalorean.Com should visit this place in the morning and in the evening and bring this situation to the attention of those authorities who are blind to this situation.
