During his visit to the sub-registrar’s office, he verified the records and also the fees collected for the day. On finding that there was no mismatch, he advised the officials to continue to work sincerely. At the Koppal City Municipal Council, Mr. Majage took a few officials to task over the pending applications under Sakaala scheme and directed them to dispose of the applications pending within the stipulated time.
