Mangaluru: The City Corporation commissioner Hephsiba Rani Korlapati handed over the charge to MCC Joint Commissioner Gokuldas Nayak, on Monday night.

After assuming charge here Korlapati has been transferred as the Chief Executive Officer of Vijayapura Zilla Panchayat within six months.

A group of city corporators along with the then mayor had requested the Chief Minister to transfer her alleging that she failed to do her job and that she hardly had any respect for them. However, the CM discarded the appeal and urged the corporators to give service with mutual understanding and co-operation.

MCC Mayor Jascintha Alfred and Korlpati too share differences of opinion on several issues and that all is not well between them, it is gathered.

In the very first week of her tenure, she earned the wrath of paurakarmikas for not entering their houses for inspection.

However Korlapati always maintained that she was trying to bring in an effective administrative system but she never got good support from her councillors.
