Replying to a question by activist G.K. Bhat during the monthly phone-in programme of the Mayor, Mr. Kannur said that shelter and washrooms will be built and seating arrangements will be made. “The board of MSCL, in which the Mayor is also a director, will meet on Thursday and take a decision on depositing ₹3 crore with the Mangaluru City Corporation. At least three persons who called up the Mayor expressed their concern over the quality of food, fast food being sold by an increasing number of streetvendors in the city. “I doubt whether the corporation has a Health Officer or not,” he told the Mayor and said that the health section officials in the corporation are not serious enough to check the increasing number of street food servers.
