Udupi, November 3 , 2024: Udupi Deputy Commissioner Dr. Vidya Kumari issued a statement today to address growing social media attention around the appearance of “Sultanpur” under survey number 120 on the Karnataka government’s land record application, Dishaank.

The name "Sultanpur," a previously unlisted village name in Udupi, recently went viral after users checking land records for potential Waqf property concerns spotted it on the app. According to Dr. Vidya Kumari, the name "Sultanpura" appears under survey numbers 120 and 85 in Shivalli village, Udupi taluk.

Dr. Kumari clarified that there has been no official change in the village records or maps and that "Sultanpur" does not exist as a village in Udupi’s official documents. She also encouraged the public to download the complete village maps for verification.
