Dr. Susheela lauded the contribution of Dr. Visvesvaraya to the State and said that engineers should contribute like Dr. Visvesvaraya to the development of the district. “Engineers can find solutions for any challenge as they can build structure and nation simultaneously. Basavasagar Dam in Narayanpur is one of the best examples for their contribution, she added.
Basaveshwar, Deputy Superintendent of Police, said that engineers should follow the great iconic engineer Sir Visvesvaraya and donate a permanent structure to society, merely celebrating his anniversary formally.
During the programme, president of Consulting Civil Engineer’s Association Bheemanagowda Kyatnal submitted a requisition to the Deputy Commissioner seeking grants for construction Sir M. Visvesvaraya Bhavan in the city. He also requested for sending a proposal to the State government to introduce Karnataka Professional Civil Engineers Act, 2023, to protect the interest of rngineers on the lines of Gujarat.
On the occasion, achievers in various fields were felicitated on behalf of Consulting Civil Engineer’s Association. Dinesh Kumar Jain, Prakash Kulkarni, Bhagawant Anwar, Irfan Badal, Hemanth Kumar and others were present.
“We are judges and therefore, cannot act like Mughals of a bygone era ... the writ courts in the guise of doing justice cannot transcend the barriers of law,” the High Court of Karnataka observed while setting aside an order of a single judge, who in 2016 had extended the lease of a public premises allotted to a physically challenged person to 20 years contrary to 12-year period stipulated in the law.
