Govt. will decide on division of Belagavi district, says Bommai

There is a renewed demand for the division of Belagavi district, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said in Belagavi on Thursday.

“This is an old demand. It was raised several decades ago. However, when the J.H. Patel Government announced the bifurcation of the district, Kannada organisations protested against it, saying it could be bad for the interest of the State. The demand has been renewed recently and we are looking at it. We will take a decision that is in the best interests of the State and the district,” he said.
