PDO taken to task

Doddakaanya Gram Pan-chayat Development Officer (PDO) was taken to task by MLA G.T. Devegowda following complaints of opening of hotels and shops during lockdown period.

The MLA said how was it possible to control the contagion if permission was given to open the shops and hotels even after lockdown relaxation hours.
