Bhatkallys News Service Bhatkal 04 February 2017: Karnataka MLA and Urban Development Minister R Roshan Baig today visited Bhatkal and inspected Ghousia Mohalla where the drainage system has made the life of locals miserable by almost manipulating all the water wells of the nearby residents thereby people facing difficulties in getting sufficient supply of drinking water. The locals on the occasion put forth their demands of immediate solution to the problem which is now persistent in the area for years together. The minister while speaking to the media expressed his distress after knowing that more than 500 drinking water wells had been affected by the drainage system. He also promised locals for arranging an meeting of a delegation of Tanzeem with Chief Minister Siddarammaiah to further discuss the case with him in order to come up with an permanent solution to the problem. Mjlis-e-Islah wa Tanzeem President Kazia Muzzammil lauded the efforts of the minister who reached Bhatkal with Karwar UGD Assistant Executive Engineer, Dharwad Division Engineer, and other members of Water Supply Board. And said the minister’s visit has raised further hopes in the people of town as no other minister had visited the town to inspect this case. The minster also visited Majlis-e-Islah Wa Tanzeem office and TMC office and went on to receive memorandums from the people who had come there with their problems. Surprisingly the absence of Bhatkal MLA Mankal Vaidya who is also the member of the ruling Congress party was notable and it certainly raised many eyebrows.
