DC promises parking facility
He was talking to members of the temple committee and members of Channakeshava hitarakshana Samiti after visiting the temple premises. He said the TMC has stopped paid parking long ago.
In the wake of this, the district administration would purchase a land belonging to Department of Tourism behind the temple where parking facility would be provided. The amount collected from it would be spent on development works.
The DC said the parking would be managed by the district administration by appointing the staff without giving contract to private persons.
The amount would be spent on providing basic facilities to the visiting tourists. Steps would be taken to conduct a survey of the property owned by the temple and complete the process before March 15 so as to reclaim the land from the encroachers.
He asked the TMC president, H M Dayanand to put centre locking bricks in front of the annadasoha temple for the devotees to stand in a queue. The DC also promised to hold talks with the officials of Archeological Survey of India (ASI) to put up the metal sheets on the roof of annadasoha building.
“I have powers to give permission for taking up the works like UGD, road, drain and drinking water within 100 mtrs of te temple”, he added.
