Kundapur; Oct 08: Though the money has been sanctioned by the government for the construction of building for Khambadakone government high school under RTR project, a dispute has been aroused between school and Kergalu village panchayat on land related matter, which is required for the construction of school building. Accordingly the foundation stone laying programme has been postponed until the dispute is solved.
Irked villagers, who came to the spot of disputed land under the leadership of Smt.Revathi,president of the village panchayt,did not allow the school authorities to lay the foundation stone until the dispute on the land is resolved.
Sources said that the disputed land was donated to school by Chardappayya Bhat and Vamana Kamat and subsequently the land was transferred under taluk board and then went under district parishath jurisdiction according to Prakashchandra Shetty, vice president of school welfare committee.
Responding to the statement made by Shetty, Smt.Revathi, president of Kergalu village panchayat said in her statement that this disputed land is coming under Dakshina Kannada parishat limit, the request has already been made to the concerned authorities to transfer the land to village panchayat.
Besides since Kergalu village panchayat building comes under the limit of national highway authorities, there is no other place to construct building for village panchayat.The president has asked the school management to give 20 cents of land for the contruction of panchayat building.
Following the objection from the school for this adjustment, the programme of foundation stone laying has been temporarily postponed until the dispute is solved by the both school authorities and village panchayat.The legislator has advised both the parties to solve the problem amicably.
