The issue was discussed in a Karnataka Development Programmes review meeting held in HD Kote, concerning accusations that the Kolkata-based Subhash Power Station Corporation Limited attempted to illegally acquire govt land within the Kabini reservoir. Following complaints of public outcry about the misuse of govt land from the public and people from various quarters of society, the MLA directed Saragur tahsildar Mohankumari and officials concerned with Cauvery Neeravari Nigam Limited to look into such complaints. Even though state govt permitted the company to set up the power corporation after providing it land on a 30-year lease, the company is accused of transferring 13 acres into its name. It also obtained necessary khatas, RTCs, and fraudulently borrowed loans from several nationalised and private sector banks. Speaking to TOI, social activist Doreswamy, a retired police officer, accused the previous tahsildar and other revenue department officers of Saragur taluk of allegedly transferring 13 acres belonging to the state irrigation department to this company. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Click Here - This Might Save You From Losing Money Expertinspector Click Here Undo They also issued khata, RTC, and other land records.

Datuk Rubiah Wang. Having explained that RTCs have now been rebranded as PKDs, she said that as of now there are no plans to increase the number of permanent PKD centres in the state. However, she assured that the six existing PKDs will be upgraded with enhanced facilities, functioning not only as service hubs but also as internet centres and training grounds for the local community. 'Currently, there are only six PKDs in Sarawak due to constraints such as land availability and logistical challenges. 'Instead of establishing new centres, we are focusing on strengthening mobile PKD services,' she told a press conference after officiating at the two-day Mobile PKD programme here today. Rubiah noted that PKDs now serve as multi-service stops, equipped with computer systems and high-speed internet connectivity to support local entrepreneurs in marketing their products. She emphasised that PKDs are being further empowered with advanced information and communication technology capabilities. 'The goal is to ensure PKDs function more effectively, not only as service hubs but also as internet centres and training facilities for the surrounding communities,' she added. Adding on, she said the Mobile PKD programme will continue its rollout in Sarawak, with upcoming events scheduled in Batang Lupar and Saratok. Nationwide, the ministry plans to conduct six PKD Mobile series this year, with two in Sarawak, two in Sabah, and two in Peninsular Malaysia, she added. According to Rubiah, the PKD Mobile initiative was introduced to reinforce the government's commitment to ensuring that no rural community is left behind in receiving the benefits of development and government services. Speaking at the event earlier, Rubiah said the implementation of PKD and Mobile PKD plays a crucial role in empowering rural communities across the country. She said during the 12th Malaysia Plan (12MP), from 2021 to 2024, a total of 23,714 PKD programmes were carried out and benefitted more than 648,000 rural residents. She explained that PKD serves five key areas: skills training, women's empowerment, economic activities, volunteerism, and the delivery of government services, as well as acting as a hub for rural entrepreneurs to gather and showcase their products. 'Although Sarawak has only six physical PKDs, their presence remains significant. However, due to the vast geographical landscape, access to these services remains a challenge. 'Therefore, to ensure that services for rural residents are more comprehensive and inclusive, the Mobile PKD programme, introduced in 2023, serves as a platform for the ministry to engage with rural communities in a closer and more effective manner,' said Rubiah.
