The Kannada Cinema Workers Federation (OKKUTA) left in lurch after long time President Ashok and secretary Ravishanker resigned has come collectively with a few demands.

For Bengaluru City Mayor the members of OKKUTA have appealed for extension of lease of the existing building in Gandhinagar for coming thirty years. It has also sought residential sites for the workers of OKKUTa.

Dr Ambarish speaking at OKKUTA event in Gandhinagar with KPCCI President Dinesh Gundu Rao, the local area MLA, KFCC President Sa Ra Govindu, Rockline Venkatesh, Doddanna, Soorappa Babu and others on the dais submitted a memorandum to Dinesh Gundu Rao for fulfilling the needs of cinema workers.

Dr Ambarish said when he was Housing Minister in Congress I government the process of getting residential sites to cinema workers was started. He had told the general secretary of the association on this issue. It could not happen. Now that Rs.150 crore is in Mayor Fund, Rs.10 crore is given as aid to OKKUTA it will be useful.

KFCC President Sa Ra Govindu present on the dais agrees for Dr Ambarish observation. Residential sites for cinema workers, fund for release from Mayor – come with right approach, I would discuss with the concerned persons assured Dinesh Gundu Rao former minister and KPCCI head.
