Hephsiba Rani Korlapati took charge as the Commissioner of the Mangaluru City Corporation on Thursday.

Earlier, she was the Assistant Commissioner of Basavakalyan Revenue sub-division in Bidar district.

In a brief interaction with the media after assuming charge, she said it would require at least two weeks to assess various issues related to the civic body. She said she would make all efforts to ensure proper delivery of services of the city corporation to the people as per law.

“I will strive to remove the time and space constraints that people face in dealing with the civic body,” she said, and added that tools of Information Technology would be effectively made use of. Use of IT would also avoid people from physically visiting the offices of the civic body.

To a question on the pressure of the job she said, “Let us wait and see if it is pressure job or a pleasure job.” Later, she met heads of different sections in the civic body.
