Bantwal, Aug 23, 2014 : The long-awaited dream of mini Vidhan Soudha likely to be realized soon. The local MLA and Dakshina Kannada district-in-charge minister B Ramanath Rai has taken earnest interest in this regard, and if everything goes as expected, it will come up in the city center at B C Road, here in 2 to 3 years.
The mini Vidhan Soudha was a long pending demand that was delayed as the revenue department did not identify a suitable plot for so long. Meanwhile, the construction of mini Soudha are on final stages at Mangalore, Puttur and Sullia taluks. It has not been built in Beltangady and Bantwal taluks. The district-in-charge minister faced criticisms for slow progress in building mini Vidhan Soudha in his own constituency. The minister has instructed the revenue department to identify the suitable plot and managed to approve Rs 5 crore from state administration in this regard.
