Drive against encroachment in Hubli ends
The Times of India
HUBLI: The mother of all anti-encroachment operations in the history of Hubli concluded on Friday, with several commercial buildings on Niligin Road, Club Road, in Keshwapur and New Cotton Market areas coming under the demolition man’s hammer.
HDMC commissioner P Manivannan now plans to remove places of worship encroaching on municipal land before taking up the much-delayed road development project as some shrines have mushroomed right in the middle of roads.

Federation to stage dharna
Federation to stage dharna

HUBLI: Members of Karnataka State Road Transport Employees Federation will stage a dharna infront of DC’s office in Dharwad on August 30 to protest against the decision to allow private bus operators to shift their operations to the NWKRTC’s new bus terminus, Gokul.
In a press release Dr K S Sharma, president of the federation, asked the chairman of the city infrastructure improvement committee to drop the decision to allow the private bus operators to shift their operations to the new bus-terminus in Hubli.
The decision was not only contravening to the rules and established practices but also suicidal to the interests of NWKRTC. NWKRTC was sustaining a loss of nearly Rs 1 lakh a day because of the Bendre bus operations in Hubli-Dharwad and by allowing them to use corporation’s bus stand in Gokul Road, it would have to suffer further revenue loss.
In the interests of the travelling public, the federation urged the infrastructure committee to drop the above decision, he said.

Reports on bus operators refuted
The Hindu
DHARWAD: The Deputy Commissioner, Dharwad, has denied reports that the City Infrastructure Improvement Committee has decided to provide accommodation to private bus operators in the new bus stand of the North-West Karnataka Road Transport Corporation the Gokul Road in Hubli.
This was made clear by the outgoing Deputy Commissioner, Gourav Gupta, Deputy Commissioner, in a statement here on Friday.
The statement comes in the wake of the exception taken by K.S. Sharma, president of the Akhila Karnataka Rajya Raste Saarige Noukarara Mahamandal.
Mr. Gourav Gupta said the concern that the private bus operators might attract more passengers and thereby cause loss to the NWKRTC was discussed and it was decided to identify a place to shift these operators.
"However, it was left open for finalisation after discussion with the parties concerned," he said. The meeting did not take any decision to shift the private operators to the new bus stand, the statement said.
According to informed sources, the issue of accommodating the private operators in the new bus stand figured in the form of a suggestion made by the Deputy Commissioner who presided over the meeting but was rejected by P. Manivannan, Managing Director of NWKRTC.
Dr. Sharma welcomed the clarification that no decision had been taken on shifting the private bus operators to the new bus stand.
