As funds are readily available for the development of Ballari, Ballari in-charge Secretary K.V. Trilok Chandra has directed officials to make use of funds for the development of the district.
“Ballari is one of the backward districts in the State. The border district needs special attention. There is no dearth of funds. There is abundant money, including government grants and the District Mineral Foundation (DMF) funds. We need to have a proper plan to effectively make use of the available money for the development of the district,” Mr. Chandra, who is also Secretary to Chief Minister, said.
He was speaking at a meeting of senior officers at the Zilla Panchayat Conference Hall in Ballari on Tuesday. The meeting was convened to review the progress of works taken up by different departments.
