MLA warns against delaying reef work at Ullal

June 21, 2011

Mangalore, June 21: Mangalore Constituency MLA U T Khader has expressed fear over further delay in the execution of the submersible reef work at Ullal, proposed to provide permanent solution to the sea erosion problem in the region.

A New Zealand based ASR company in collaboration with a Hyderabad based company has come forth to take up the work for this ADB funded Rs 100 crore project, under the single tender system.

Khader said that the Centre and the State government should pressurise the ADB to hand over the project to this company because the commencement of the work has already delayed and if this work is not started by September, the project will lapse.

“If the project lapses, then the entire procedure of preparing the reports etc will have to be done all over again. Hence, though there are about four companies in the world, which do this kind of technical work, the government must clarify if the work can be handed over to ASR so that the works could be started at the earliest,” he said.

The Karnataka government has announced that Nandini milk will become ₹4 costlier per litre starting April 1, 2025. This is the second price hike this year.

The decision was made during a cabinet meeting led by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. Karnataka Cooperation Minister K N Rajanna and Animal Husbandry Minister K Venkatesh said the increase is meant to support dairy farmers by covering the rising costs of producing and processing milk.

Officials also said that:

>> The extra money from the price hike will go directly to the milk producers.

>> The earlier ₹2 price hike (announced on June 26, 2024) will be withdrawn.

>> The new price hike of ₹4 will apply to both 500 ml and 1-litre packets.
