`Task force needed for development'

Staff Correspondent

MANGALORE: There is a need for a task force in the port city, on the lines of Bangalore Metropolitan Task Force (BMTF), for its orderly development, Inspector-General of Police (Western Range) H.N. Sathyanarayana Rao has said.

The city is growing and has to deal with high-rise buildings, narrow roads and ever-increasing traffic.

All these conditions demanded a specific agenda to channelise the growth, he said after releasing `Mangalore-Udupi GETIT Yellow Pages and Corporate Pages' published by GETIT Infomediary Limited, here on Saturday.

Mr. Rao, who has served as IGP (BMTF), said Bangalore was put on the path of development by initiative taken by BMTF.

People such as Raghavendra Shastry, vice-president of GETIT, who was in the task force, were the driving force behind such development, he said.

Mr. Rao said the directory enabled a person to find necessary information speedily ensured that data was literally on the person's fingertips.
