Government taluk hospital in Puttur will be upgraded in two phases for opening a medical college, says CM Siddaramaiah
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said here on Friday that the 100-bed taluk government hospital at Puttur will be upgraded to a 250-bed hospital in the first phase of the plan to open a new government medical college there. He addressed a gathering after inaugurating the new Praja Soudha, a complex that will house over 30 government offices, including the office of the Deputy Commissioner, at Padil in the city. Mr. Siddaramaiah said that another 250 beds will be added to the hospital in the second phase to open the medical college. He had announced the establishment of the medical college in the 2025-26 Budget. When it comes up, it will be the first government medical college in the coastal belt. Currently, Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts together have eight private medical colleges. Of them, seven are in Dakshina Kannada alone. The CM said that, being a district of learned and educated people, communal violence in Dakshina Kannada should stop. The coastal district always stood ahead in the education sector. It should emerge as 'Sarva janangada shantiya thota' (A garden of peace for all communities). Tulu as second language Responding to legislators' demand that the State government recognise Tulu as the second language of the State after Kannada, Mr. Siddaramaiah said he would examine the matter. But Kannada will be supreme, he said. He said that Dakshina Kannada will soon emerge as a 'podi-free' district as all eligible people will get RTCs (Records of Rights, Tenancy and Crops), and errors in RTCs will be rectified. Taking on the critics who argued that the State government is left with no funds for taking up development projects as revenue has been diverted to its guarantee schemes, Mr. Siddaramaiah, whose Congress government will complete two years next week, said that it is not true. 'The State's capital expenditure was up by over ₹31,000 crores in a year,' he said, adding that it proves the critics wrong. The volume of the 2025-26 Budget was up by ₹38,000 crore, he said. Speaker U.T. Khader, Revenue Minister Krishna Byre Gowda, Urban Development Minister B. Suresh, Minister in charge of Dakshina Kannada Dinesh Gundu Rao, and Dakshina Kannada Member of Parliament Captain Brijesh Chowta were present. Mangaluru City South MLA D. Vedavyasa Kamath presided over.

Over 23 percent of land records in Karnataka still in names of deceased owners
BENGALURU: The State Government, which has initiated a campaign to link Aadhar with Record of Rights, Tenancy and Crops (RTC), has found that over 23% of documents related to land ownership are in the names of the dead. The government will launch the inheritance record campaign by May-end. As per the documents available with The New Indian Express , there are 4.20 crore land owners whose Aadhar numbers have to be linked with RTCs. The revenue department has completed linking 2.25 crore land owners' Aadhar numbers with their RTCs. Of them, 52.40 lakh owners have been declared dead as per a report. Tumakuru district has the highest number of such cases with 5.61 lakh owners declared dead, followed by Belagavi with 4.7 lakh owners, Mandya 3.7 lakh and Kodagu and Kolar 2.8 lakh each. The number of dead land owners is expected to increase if 4.2 crore owners' Aadhar numbers are linked with RTCs. After the death of a land owner, his land should be transferred to his legal heirs. The government has initiated village adalats, where a designated officer from the revenue department will dispose of cases that are not in the court of law. With Record of Rights, Tenancy and Crops still in the names of dead persons (mostly parents), the legal heirs are unable to avail themselves of many benefits, including compensation in case of natural calamities or loans from banks.
