Bommai hopeful of Centre’s positive decision on Belagavi defence land

Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai has said that he was positive about the Union Government taking a suitable decision on the State Government’s request for handing over 750 acres of defence land on the outskirts of Belagavi to the State.

Mr. Bommai told presspersons at Sambra Airport in Belagavi on Saturday that he had met the Defence Minister on two issues and the other one was of the Union Government taking over the Sangolli Rayanna School and converting it into a military school.

He said the very next day of his making the request, he received a telephone call from the Defence Minister to convey that already an inspection on the Sangolli Rayanna School had been done and the inspection report submitted. He also conveyed that shortly a favourable decision would be taken on the issue, Mr. Bommai said.
