PM Modi to dedicate Kochi-Mangaluru LNG pipeline to nation on Tuesday

Quote:

Work on the City Gas Distribution system for Mangaluru City too was under progress and some areas of the city were likely to get piped gas supply by the end of the year, he said. While MCF, the lone chemical fertiliser manufacturer in Karnataka uses about 0.85 million standard cubic metres per day (MSCMD) LNG, Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Ltd., and ONGC Mangalore Petrochemicals Ltd., were likely to offload another 0.6 MSCMD from the end of this month, Mr. Jain said. Distribution of LNG as an auto fuel was likely to coincide with the supply of city gas distribution in Mangaluru, he added.

Plastic Park approved two days back: MP 2

Whether it is integrated plastic park having CIPET also sanctioned as integrated part of the package? Till now the central government or the state government did not allow economic agglomeration to happen in any other place than the parched city. They always put industry somewhere and training institute somewhere else. Why bodies like KCCI not raising their voice for CIPET?

Summa: Coastal Karnataka districts are expecting economic boom through blue economy. Blue economy policy is expected to give boost to ocean environment through sustainable exploitation of ocean assets covering areas like water transportation, marine tourism, marine biotechnology, seawater desalination plants, offshore oil & gas exploration, coastal roads, deepsea fisheries, cage culture, seaweed farming, offshore wind power plants, ship building & repair, waste management, marine biodiversity.

What about deep sea mining for minerals explored through GSI through environmentally sustainable technologies, SWAC, underwater data centres? Any engineering college working on underwater drones? I think once ICGA becomes functional it may hold underwater drone 2 competitions for students.

Even Coastal Wood along with cable channels may need a small Media City (forget film city). I think if Kerala adopts SWAC in Kochi- Mangaluru industrial corridor then technocrats hurried to World#1 tech hub will start crying why did they waste money on the parched city!

Whether CIPET is part of the common facility? Whether organization like KCCI demanding/influencing DPR to mention CIPET? DK MP silence on CIPET is well understable as he is busy beating his drums on Plastic Park.

I hope KCCI and other industrial bodies of the region will now focus on Mangaluru getting 'Medical Devices Park' 1 2. I don't know why nobody from the region has approached Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers on this. Even Udayavani news daily which talks on everything else has not published any article on this demand from the region! Now is also not late to raise voice for this and associated CIMDET (Central Institute of Medical Devices Engineering and Technology).

I think bodies like KCCI should focus more on Medical Devices Park which is decided by politicians rather than Tesla which is a private decision.

Jobs will be created through Plastic Park

Even the MLA is silent on CIPET! It was in talk for a long time - DK will get CIPET along with plastic park: Min 2. Now which government is hindering CIPET launch 3? Since it is renamed as Central Institute of Petrochemicals Engineering & Technology it has to be integrated with proposed Petroleum University in Surathkal along with IIPE.

Centre to sanction Rs 40 cr for Mangaluru Plastic Park, announces DVS

When the centre is going to release money for CIPET? Why Medical Devices Park is not proposed for Mangaluru? Is it because KCCI has not demanded for it?

'Shifting of RAF campus from Mangaluru to Bhadravati shows inefficiency of MP': Munir Katipalla

I think they wanted to locate RAF somewhere so to deploy troops across Karnataka swiftly. That is fine except that Hassan would have been a better place for movement of RAF troops to either Mangaluru or the parched city as highway is better. Other option was Davanagere for movement across north and south. Other disadvantage of location is it does not have an airport. Mostly the nepotist politician did it to secure his son's seat rather than to secure Karnataka. Obviosuly whoever laid foundation there are not patriots but selfish. But, what I think, might have stolen the idea of agglomeration from us by stealing central university. We have to continue demanding for 'Marine Forensics College' from the centre. Since we have an MP who is less useful to Tulundadu more useful to the parched city we may not even get this. And now we have got a minister also and let us whether he will serve Tulunadu or not.

Karnataka to get its first chocolate park

Quote:

However, since we were getting a lot of calls from the people to know more about chocolates, we decided to open the state’s first chocolate park. This park will not only give visitors a taste of chocolates but will also enhance their knowledge about their favourite treat. The chocolate park has been approved by the CAMPCO board and they are now scouting for consultants to execute it.

Kodgi said that currently, they are building a huge godown (to store cacao, arecanut and pepper) spread over 2.5 acres at a cost of Rs 30 crore while the chocolate park will cost Rs 3 to Rs 4 crore. The chocolate park will also have other features like artificial falls, a theme park and other facilities.

First chocolate park to come up in Dakshina Kannada district of Karnataka

Quote:

President of CAMPCO, Kishore Kumar Kodgi, said, “A lot of people go to places like Mahabaleshwar, Ooty and other places to experience the making of chocolate. We wanted to create something like that here in Karnataka. There’s a small hilltop nearby which is a popular tourist spot called Hanuman betta. On their way there, people can stop and take a look at the making of the chocolate, experiencing the taste of freshly made chocolate. Because of regulations placed by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), we cannot entertain guests. Our main intention behind the creation of the park is to not only show people how chocolates are made but to give them a memorable journey.”

Adani Enterprises to spend Rs 50,000 crore on capex in 5 years; airport biz to get big chunk

Quote:

Out of the Rs 35,780 crore capex for the airport business, the company intends to spend Rs 14,249 crore on the Mumbai and Navi Mumbai airports and about Rs 15,000 crore on the other six under its control.

That means a maximum spending of Rs 2,000 crores in five years timeline can be expected by Mangaluru but it could be even below Rs. 1,000 crores since Mangaluru was bidded lowest. But, we don't know whether developing Mangaluru airport fast and earning more is the strategy. For this to happen, other investments should also happen in Mangaluru quickly.

Mangaluru, Dec 14: BJP state president and MP Nalin Kumar Kateel laid the foundation stone for the coastal berth and capital dredging worth Rs 65 crore and Rs 29 crore respectively under the Sagarmala project here at Bengre on Monday, December 14.

Coastal berth costs Rs 65 crore, in which the central government sanctions Rs 25 crore and state government approves Rs 40 crore. Capital dredging costs Rs 29 crore in which Rs 14.50 crore each comes from the central and state government.

Foundation stone laid for new coastal berth at Old Mangaluru Port

Quote:

It will have a commercial wharf and double-lane approach road, among others

Foundation stone was laid for the construction of coastal berth – a jetty for domestic commercial cargo ships – at the Old Mangaluru Port on Monday. The construction is being taken up under the Sagarmala scheme at a cost of Rs. 65 crore with the Union government contributing Rs. 25 crore and the State government Rs. 40 crore.

This new berth will have, among others, a commercial wharf, double-lane approach road, passenger lounge, two warehouse buildings, and a facility to dredge. The berth would accommodate 70 cargo vessels up to 5,000 tonne capacity. The new berth is likely to be ready in three years.

Foundation stone was also laid for the capital dredging at the Bengre side of the Old Mangaluru Port, which is estimated at Rs. 29 crore. It is proposed to dredge for 7 meters from the Bar Mouth to the Main Commercial Channel and 5 meters at the North Wharf.

Reliable sources say that the port here has been asked to get transformed into the new model by the year 2024.

20 storage tanks to be built across Mangaluru to supply drinking water

Quote:

Mangaluru, Feb 11: Jalasiri Scheme, in order to supply modern technology-based drinking water to the residents of the city, is being implemented with the aid of ADB (Asian Development Bank) across 20 parts of the city.

Two huge, two-storey water storage tanks with a storage capacity of 10 lac liters will be constructed near Officers' Club of Ladyhill and at Bala. 35 cents land is identified to build storage tanks near Ladyhill. With the construction of this tank, the drinking water issues of the citizens of Chilimbi and Ashoknagar will be resolved. At Bala, the water storage tank is intended to be built on 75 cents land belonging to KUWSDB. Eight intermediate pumps will be constructed in different parts of the city in order to regulate continuous supply of drinking water to the residents of the city.

The proposed water storage tanks will be built near Nandigudda grounds, Udayanagara, Kodipadi, Nehru Maidan, Amritnagar at Tiruvailu, Shaktinagar (near the current GLSR), Maryhill (GLSR that is vacant now), Krishnapura (near government school), Morgans Gate (near Mangalore Club), Meenakaliya near Panambur, Cemetery at Kankanady Valencia, Kunjathbail, Santhoshnagar at Pacchanady, near NITK (near the tank that is already functioning), Nekkilagudda near Lohithnagara, Holyhill at Jayanagar, near J M Road at Bajal, Kana near Kulai, M V Shetty College near Kavoor and Kodikal.

Two water purifying plants will be set up at Thumbay. A new 20 MLD capacity water treatment plant and backwash treatment plant will be built at Ramalkatte near Thumbay vented dam. At present there are two water purifying plants of 80 MLD capacity that were built in 1971.

Huge amount of water is getting leaked at present when supplying water from Thumbay dam to the overhead tank. MCC officials failed to contain this leakage. Now it has been decided to install 181 bulk flow meters from Thumbay Jackwell to the overhead tank. This will help in tracking the exact areas of leakage. It will be assessed through the electronic device whether the same amount of water that is pumped from Thumbay reaches the overhead tank or not. Officials said that 96,300 water connections are identified in the city and there is an aim of upgrading the water distribution network also.

Revised notification on no parking zones following public suggestions 2 3

Quote:

About 50 commercial complexes in the city, which have utilised space allotted for parking for commercial purposes have been identified.

Quote:

Accordingly, on Balmatta Road, provision has been made for parking of two-wheelers on New Balmatta Road adjacent to Ambedkar Circle.

At Surathkal Junction, on the road leading to MRPL from Surathkal Junction to Primary Health Centre, provision has been made for parking vehicles on the roadside. Due to heavy vehicular movement, three places at Padavinangady Junction had been identified as no parking zones.

Quote:

The existing no parking zone from Hampankatta Road to PM Rao Road Cross, from Karnataka Bank to Navabharat Circle and from Besant Cross to Empire Mall was examined. It is now notified that starting from Hampankatta to PVS Circle and from there further along MG Road up to Ballal Bagh Cross, there will be no parking on either side of the road.

Quote:

The no parking notification from Kudmul Rangarao Road to Court Road along the left side of the road has been examined. A stretch of 20 metres on the left side of this road and a stretch of 200 metres along the right side of this road have been declared as no parking zones.

The parking system from KB Katte up to Ganapathy High School has been modified. The left side of the road from KB Katte up to Janatha Bazaar has been notified as no parking zone while the existing notification for rest of the road has been continued without any change.

The road starting from the direction of Karavali Circle, i.e., from Kalpana Road I Dross up to Unity Hospital, had been identified as no parking zone. In the revised notification, the road leading from Karavali Circle to up to I Cross Vas Lane only has been notified as no parking zone. As the road from I Cross Vas Lane up to Unity Hospital is sufficiently wide, the earlier no parking notification for this stretch has been withdrawn, he said.

What action is taken against unauthorized modification of footpath? What action is taken against buildings digging newly constructed footpaths to create slopes to create illegal parking?

Should it be two tier transportation line? But I think railway needs lesser slope than road so it would be a longer tunnel that could be done later also so that the road tunnel works can commence now without delay if issue of environment effects on western ghats is addressed properly.

Mangaluru was growing at least in one sector. Now the government wants to curtail that also. Why they compare everything here to the parched city? Does Mangaluru have unsustainable population like the parched city? Isn't it good if pupil move here and study so that at least floating population grows here? The government plan seems to be turn all rivers east wards, spoil western ghat instead of allowing the growth of coastal region to enable sustainable growth of Karnataka. At least allow city to grow to a population of around 20 lakhs before imposing such harnesses.

Strategy is to stop growth of Mangaluru and force educational entrepreneurs who what open medical colleges here to move to the parched region surrounding the parched city!

By the way, how many institutes in Mangaluru don't have separate infrastructure for each department or course?

Instill culture of entrepreneurship in coastal region: T V Mohandas Pai

Quote:

A common platform in the form of a consortium of universities and other stakeholders should be developed. Conducting grand challenges through consortiums can create larger impacts. University courses must focus on developing high-quality skills and hands-on experiences, he said.

A structured implementation of these measures will result in more than ten unicorns from coastal Karnataka in the next ten years, Pai said. These measures will also ensure that youth of the region get employment in their place and are not forced to migrate to overcrowded metropolitan cities in search of a career, he said. Entrepreneurial units coming up n the region will also facilitate emergence of the coast as an economic hub, he noted.

Okay have 10 unicorns at the earliest. Let Karnataka government then bring a new rule saying no more than 10 unicorns in the parched city and Mangaluru to have balanced growth across Karnataka.

“The Addahole-B.C. Road [road widening] work has been affected because of issues concerning the forest. Legal problems have brought works under the (Mangaluru) Smart City project to a halt. If the district has to develop, people should cooperate,” he said.

"The contract has been handed over to G Shankar & Co. The cost is estimated to be Rs 200 crore. However, the contractors shouldered the project for a sum of Rs 192.5 crore when the tender was called. There will be provision for pedestrians to walk on the new dam before the monsoons. The work will be completed and inaugurated by end of December," said.

Quote:

"Large vehicles are not permitted on the bridge. The distance for villagers who want to travel to Mangaluru will be reduced by 25 kilometres," he informed. "Around 18.7 million cusecs of water can be stored in the barrage. Water can be supplied from here to the city when it is exhausted in Thumbe. Tourism in Harekal will develop as people will come to see the dam. Boat rides and breeding of fish will also be possible," Khader added.

The MLA asked the college students to observe the work and urged them to study these structures. "There is a Jackwell tank at Sajipamunnur, treatment plant at Kamblapadav, water tank worth Rs 60 lac at Chembugudde etc. A proposal of Rs 280 crore has been submitted to the government for a new pipeline in the village.

So 1, DK MP has already switched over his loyalty to the parched city! He is happy that the parched city got everything and rest of Karnataka nothing from the central budget. He seems to be happy that due to metro the parched city will get more industries and more water will flow to the parched city stealing from everyone else and environment. Whether he is planning to contest from the parched city in next election like his predeccessor? This government should go we require a new party which loyal to Karnataka than the parched city.

MCC team to inspect land for IT Park at Bondel Junction

Quote:

The MCC will initiate the process of acquiring land from the owner of the land only if the team is satisfied that the land is suitable for the IT Park. A proposal to acquire 9.4 acres of private land for the purpose through TDR by the city corporation was mooted by Mangaluru City North MLA Dr Y Bharath Shetty. If the site was found suitable for the project, the MCC will send a proposal to the government for approval, said Mayor Diwakar.

MLA Bharath Shetty, in his proposal to MCC, had said, “About 9.4 acres of land, owned by Rohan Monteiro, was available on survey number 81-2 (p) and 81-3 (p) in Marakada village near Bondel Junction. The owner of the land has given approval for the acquisition of the land by providing transferable development rights (TDR).”

KEONICS Board gives approval to medium size IT Park in city

Quote:

Chairman of KEONICS Harikrishna Bantwal told The Hindu that following the approval of the board recently, KEONICS, on Wednesday, asked an agency to prepare a detailed project report (DPR) for the purpose. The agency authorities will inspect the project site on February 18 before finalising the report. It has been proposed to set up the park on 3.25 acres of land owned by KEONICS on public-private partnership (PPP) model.

“An investor has shown interest in developing the park,” he said.

Quote:

Innovation conclave

Mr. Bantwal said that as a measure to promote investments in the Mangaluru region, a Mangaluru Innovation Conclave, will be organised in the city on February 24 ...

Quote:

Mr. Bantwal, who is the 38th chairman of KEONICS, said that KEONICS has also plans to develop a large electronics city in Mangaluru in memory of R.K. Baliga, who was the first chairman of KEONICS and who set up Electronics City in Bengaluru. Late Baliga hailed from Bantwal. It might require about 40 acres at one place. Efforts are on to take this initiative forward.

So, for IT Park, it is not 9.4 acres of land, owned by Rohan Monteiro.

Develop Electronics City near proposed RGHUS campus on dental research centre if to focus on Dental/Medical Electronics. Later we should plan for SWAC based Electronics City when SWAC and subsea data centres become fashion.

Look at this drama also - ‘Invest in tier 2 cities’. The state government wants to develop a business park near the parched city and then this drama. The central government has already declared a huge infrastructure spending in budget on this land mafia city already! Why not the minister tries for a business park at least in his own city?

If the map is made according to the new notification of 2019, it may benefit tourism and the fishermen of the coastal region. At present there is no provision to construct any structure on beaches.

Already 10 beaches including Someshwara, Panambur, Idya, Tannirbhavi, Surathkal, Sasihitlu and Bengre are notified and sent to the authority. There will be scope for development of these beaches once the new map.

Yogeeshwara said that to promote tourism in the coastal belt, infrastructure for landing of yachts needs to be developed. He said a heli tourism service will be launched in Mysuru shortly and stressed on a similar service in Mangaluru for foreign tourists arriving by cruise ships so that they can visit Lakshadweep and other tourist destinations from Mangaluru.

“Cruise passengers stay only for eight to nine hours in Mangaluru. If their stay is extended to two to three days by providing them with facilities, then we can chalk out programmes to introduce local culture and tourist spots in and around Mangaluru,” he said.

He said relaxation of CRZ rules will be sought on the lines of Kerala and Goa to promote tourism. Further, he said tax on tourist taxis was high in Karnataka compared to Kerala and Tamil Nadu. “I will bring the issue to notice of the chief minister,” he said. The minister said the Tourism Policy 2020 will be implemented from April.

He said backwaters in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts will be used to promote sports which in turn will generate jobs and boost tourism. The 20-km stretch of Gurupura river backwaters will be developed on the lines of Alappuzha in Kerala. Priority will be given for promotion of eco tourism in Tannirbavi in Mangaluru. He said the government needs to promote Mangaluru as a brand and explore the potential in health tourism, religious tourism, eco tourism and local tourism.

“We need to develop a circuit to promote temple tourism in the district,” he said.

"infrastructure for landing of yachts" is already proposed under Smart City as Rs 78 crore Marina. Why nothing is done so far regarding it?
