Brahmavar: Special Tahsildar Appointed

The formation of Brahmavar taluk by carving it out of the  present Udupi taluk could be a reality in the near future. In preparation thereof,  a special tahsildar has already been appointed for Brahmavar and is likely to  take charge in a few days. An order to this effect has been received at the  office of the Udupi deputy commissioner.

It has been a long-cherished aspiration of the people of this area to have a separate taluk formed. Byndoor also is regarded as a fit case for a new  taluk. Hundekar and another commission have already recommended the new  taluks. However, there have been conflicting reports from the state government sources. While it was said that, as part of austerity measures, no new taluks would be formed, special tahsildars are being appointed in such places.

Sources say that these appointments are made to relieve the pressure of work at the taluk centres and  to mollify the agitating people and that actually no new taluks will be formed until next year's assembly election.
