Mangaluru: Son brings ailing mother to DC office; gets a house in gift

Bhatkallys News Bureau/ I. Zaorez Shabab Mangaluru 09 Dec 2017: Subramanya, a resident of Bangerakatte of Belthangady Taluk, brought his ailing mother to the office of Deputy Commissioner requesting the office for a house under the govt. scheme for his family on December 08. Sarojamma (70), the mother of Subramanya, had received the possession certificate for a land of 2.75 cents early in 2016 to build a house under 'Basava Vasathi Yojana' scheme through Madanthyar gram panchayat. Owing to the unavailability of the Aadhar card, her application was rejected Sarojamma, then met the then DC Dr. Jagdish who had instructed the Panchayath to proceed with her application but his instructions were not considered by the Panchayath. Local media took up the issue and informed the DC about the developments of the case. DC Kumar immediately looked into the issue and got the Aadahar card done for the lady. "The house was not built as Sarojamma did not possess an Aadhar card. We met her at the Wenlock Hospital where she was being treated and the Aadhar card has been done now. I will instruct the concerned gram panchayat officials to get the house constructed immediately,"
