Minister in-charge of Mysuru district H.C. Mahadevappa on Wednesday said a special package will be sought for H.D. Kote that has the highest poverty rate for the complete development of the backward taluk. The proposal recommending special funding for the taluk will be made to the Chief Minister soon, he added.
Speaking after inaugurating the taluk level officials’ meeting and the Janata Darshan in H.D. Kote, he said measures will also be initiated from the Department of Social Welfare for the overall improvement in the living conditions of the people.
“I will bring to the notice of the government the backwardness of the taluk and why it deserved a special package with a special funding for its development. Irrigation and other projects will also be discussed and measures will be taken after discussing with the MLA Anil Chikkamadu,” the Minister said.
