Woman complains about son pressurising her to transfer assets to his name
Collector P. Venkatarami Reddy came to the rescue of an elderly woman at the Collectorate here on Monday.
As part of Prajavani, a large number of people came to the Collectorate to present their grievances to the authorities. Sixty-year-old Bollam Kanakamma was one among them.
“My name is Kanakamma. My husband is Dharmapuri and we are residents of Bharat Nagar in the town. We made wise investments and handed over the assets to my two sons. We are staying with our children as we are old. My second son Sudarshan is bringing pressure on us to hand over all the assets bought from common income and even abused us physically though we handed over about ₹ 1.2 crore worth assets,” said Ms. Kanakamma in a complaint lodged with the Collector.
Capt. Brijesh Chowta, Dakshina Kannada MP, on Saturday urged Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to facilitate speeding up of ongoing critical infrastructure works in the region, including Mangaluru-Bengaluru NH 75 widening, establishment of Indian Coast Guard Academy, and merger of Konkan Railway Corporation with the Indian Railways.
