Belagavi Urban Development Authority (BUDA) on Tuesday decided to expand the boundaries of the city by including 28 villages.
A meeting of Ministers, legislators and officials also approved the preparation of a master plan based on Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology for the expanded city. The new urban agglomeration will include various villages and towns under the Local Planning Area.
