Discussing future strategies of LSGs and giving new direction to development projects, State Local Self Governments (LSG) Day celebrations began at Kottarakara on Sunday.
Minister for Local Self-Governments M.B. Rajesh inaugurated the event that witnessed the convergence of LSG representatives from across the State. Finance Minister K.N. Balagopal presided over the function.
“The local bodies should utilise the revenue sources effectively and they will be able to work without relying on government funds alone. It is necessary to find various sources of income. Along with this, people’s needs should be identified and acted upon. Delays will not be accepted,” said Mr. Rajesh. He added that waste management should be improved further and defaulting local bodies will have to pay fines.
