Minister for Law, Parliamentary Affairs, Legislation, and Tourism H.K. Patil has said the State government is committed to completing the construction of Pt. Puttaraj Gawai Smaraka Bhavana by providing necessary funds.
While interacting with officials after inspecting the work on the memorial hall near the APMC yard in Gadag on Friday, Mr. Patil sought details on the fund requirements.
Officials of the Public Works Department briefed the Minister about the progress of the work and said that initially, the government had provided ₹5 crore for the work, which had already been utilised. In addition, ₹1.25 crore was spent and they still required an additional grant of ₹7 crore for completing the work.
Responding to their plea, Mr. Patil said he had discussed the issue with Minister for Kannada and Culture Shivaraj Tangadagi during the inauguration of the Rangamandir and that he had responded positively.
“Soon, the requisite proposal for grants would be sent for approval. Immediately after the release of grants, officials should invite bids and complete the work in the next nine months,” he said, directing the officials to ensure quality in the work. He told them that delay in completion of the work would not be tolerated.
The Minister asked the officials to resume the construction by August 15 and complete it as per the plan. Once completed, a bird’s eye view of the memorial hall should resemble a ‘veena’, he said.
Mr. Patil pointed out that the construction of the memorial hall was initiated during the previous Congress government led by Siddaramaiah and it would be completed during his present tenure.
When fed into Latin, pusilla comes out denoting “very small”. The Baillon’s crake can be missed in the field, when it is at a distance, as the magnification of the human eye is woefully short of what it takes to pick up this tiny creature. The other factor is the Baillon’s crake’s predisposition to present less of itself: it moves about furtively and slides into the reeds at the slightest suspicion of being noticed. But if you are keen on observing the Baillon’s crake or the ruddy breasted crake in the field, in Chennai, this would be the best time to put in efforts towards that end. These birds live amidst reeds, the bulrushes, which are likely to lose their density now as they would shrivel and go brown, leaving wide gaps, thereby reducing the cover for these tiddly birds to stay inscrutable.
