Udupi : High disorder at the Udupi City Municipal Council general meeting with chaos and a local person who visited the meeting hall after he was called by the councillor with the intention of testifying in favour of Municipal Councillor was manhandled by ruling Congress Councillors on Tuesday, 29th June, 2017. The Ambagilu resident called Rony D’Mello who entered the meeting hall got manhandled and later admitted to Ajjarkad Government hospital for treatment.

Earlier, Kadiyali Councillor, Geetha Sheth told to the chair that she has not been considered and the CMC is not taking her views or any matters related to her ward when she asks for. In various issues like Kadiyali temple issue, she was ignored by the CMC. She gave her resignation letter to the President of CMC that she is not able to fulfil the demands of her ward people.

Meenakshi Madhav Bannanje, President told her she should have consulted her directly whenever problems occur. Geetha Sheth during the meeting called one Rony D’Mello to witness about the issue related to Kadiyali Road inauguration. One of the ruling congress Councillor Satish Puthran informed to the house that she had participated in the Kadiyali Road inauguration and he showed the image of inauguration. Then, Geetha Sheth all of sudden went to the chair and took the mike from the president and tried to give mike to Rony D’Mello who was not supposed to attend the CMC meeting. The ruling congress councillors stopped Rony  to go near the well of the house. Then most of the ruling councillors blocked Rony D’Mello and manhandled him forcefully.

Policemen entered immediately to the meeting hall and Rony D’Mello was taken to hospital.

Prior to the disorder of the meeting, Meenakshi Madhav Bannanje gave gratitude for the councillors, officials, MESCOM and others in regard to the precaution taken on account of rainy season. Yashpal Suvarna said that Municipal officials not taken measures to cut the risky branches of the trees.

The chaos also held that some of the Municipal workers not received wages since two months. Both the opposition and ruling councillors objected the ruling of Municipal Commissioner Manjunathaiha. The all opposition members led by Dr. M. A. Pai went to well and hold protest against the maltreatment for the low category workers. Even Sandhya Tilak Raj Vice President came down to the well and demanded justice to poor workers. All the members are demanded the clarification from the chair or commissioner in regard to the subject. Meenakshi Madhav Bannanje President walked out from the house due to rude behaviour from both the side. Later, with the discussion with Dr. M. A. Pai, Dinakar Shetty Herga, Yashpal Suvarna in the chamber of President, the meeting once again started without much discussion on the subject after answer from the Municipal Commissioner Manjunathaiaha.

Then hot chaos prevailed after resignation of ruling Councilor Geetha Sheth. The opposition demanded the issue very seriously and should give her answer on the subject.

Talking to the media persons, Dinakar Shetty Herga said that the ruling congress councillors manhandled a local man which was totally wrong. Anyone can come to meeting hall for their grievances. The way in which the congress councillors behaved was the first in the history of Udupi city council meetings. It is unfortunate that the ruling congress councillor herself not able to get the answer from the chair,  then how the common man of Udupi can get.

When talking to media persons with Meenakshi Madhav Bannanje, she said that this type of incident never occurred before. Any queries in regard to Geetha Sheth’s ward, she can consult with her or other councillors. What is the necessity to call person directly while meeting is going on. The outside person called Rony D’Mello not bitten nor made injury but intercepted to go directly to the well of the meeting hall. Media persons then asked why guards are kept at least during the meeting going on near the gate of the meeting hall. She said it was unfortunate incident which never occurred. Any problem arises, and then Geetha Sheth should consult her or other officials. But simply calling in the house that person during the meeting session not permitted. She blamed the BJP for the conspiracy of the incident.

Speaking to media persons, Rony D’Mello who is undergoing treatment in Ajjarkad Government Hospital, said that regarding the road inauguration issue for the witness, Geetha Sheth called me to come to the meeting hall again and again. So, I went directly to the meeting hall. Geetha Sheth brought mike to me and asked to give witness. But all of sudden the councillors, I don’t know who they are, manhandled me. Nobody helped me except Geetha Sheth during the incident. I am really very innocent. I am in shock, so got admitted for in the hospital for the treatment. But I was saddened the way of the treatment during the incident, he said.

The BJP leaders like Raghupathy Bhat former MLA, Mattat Rathnakar Hegde, Udupi district BJP President, Jayaprakash Hegde former MP and Minister, Kuhiladi Suresh Nayak and top BJP leaders visited the Ajjarkad Hospital and enquired about the incident.

No other issues were discussed during the unfortunate monthly meeting of the Udupi City Council. Blaming one another by the councillors and chaos all around during the day
