Mangaluru City Corporation finally gets down to reconstructing buildings
The more-than-a-decade-old move of Mangaluru City Corporation to demolish and re-construct the Central Market in the heart of the city is heading towards a reality with the civic body commencing demolition of two six-decade-old vegetable and fish market buildings on Wednesday.
Armed with an order of the Urban Development Department issued on Tuesday, which permitted demolition, the corporation went about bringing down the buildings to pave way for Mangaluru Smart City Ltd. (MSCL) to re-construct a new modern market building for the civic body under the Smart City Mission.

Rate quoted by contractors higher than estimated cost
The three decentralised sewerage treatment systems for West Kochi under the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (Amrut) scheme have hit a funding hurdle, further delaying the project that was conceived in 2016.
With the rate quoted by the three contractors being higher than the estimated cost, the State government and the Kochi Corporation are now going to have to decide who will bear the excess cost. The proposed treatment plants are to come up in Edakochi North, Edakochi South, and Perumpadappu.
