Stressing the importance of stakeholders in the development of Ballari city, Minister for Youth Empowerment, Sports, and Tribal Welfare and Ballari district in charge B. Nagendra said all members and staff of the city corporation should collectively work for the common cause of city development.
“If we want to develop Ballari into a beautiful city, we must first provide basic amenities to its residents such as safe drinking water, effective drainage system, clean roads, and hygienic environment. People’s involvement is also crucial. We must regularly hold awareness meetings at each ward to sensitise people on various issues,” Mr. Nagendra said at a review meeting held at Nazir Sab conference hall of the Ballari City Municipal Corporation on Saturday.
Pointing to the unfinished work taken up with the funds of different government departments, the Minister directed the officers to speed up the projects and finish them at the earliest possible so that fresh funds could be sought for the development projects in the city.
