Dharwad Separate Corporation Agitation Committee has reiterated its demand for creation of an exclusive municipal corporation for Dharwad city saying that grave injustice has been meted out to the cultural city of the State for long.
Addressing presspersons in Dharwad on Tuesday, president of the agitation committee Venkatesh Machakanur said that the committee has once again submitted a memorandum to the government through the Deputy Commissioner of Dharwad demanding that an announcement on the creation of an exclusive municipal corporation for Dharwad be made by November 1 this year.
Mr. Machakanur said that before the Assembly elections contesting candidates cutting across party lines expressed their solidarity with the committee but suddenly they have become silent on the issue now.
