Mangaluru: A delegation led by MLA Vedavyas Kamath on Wednesday May 12 appealed to the District in-charge minister, Kota Srinivas Poojary, to extend the time for purchasing essential items in Mangaluru city during the lockdown.
Speaking on this, MLA Kamath said that commercial transactions are more frequent in Manglauru city. 6 am to 9 am is the time fixed for the purchase of essential commodities. But in Mangaluru city, the storefronts are opening after 7 am which is delaying the purchase of essential commodities. Therefore, the time period for the purchase of essential commodities in the Dakshina Kannada district should be extended to 10 am.
MLA Kamath stated that the minister has assured them to review the plea take necessary action regarding this.
