The Assembly adopted the Karnataka Appropriation Bill on Thursday.
The Bill piloted by Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, who also holds finance portfolio, seeks to pay ₹10,265.33 crore from the consolidated fund of the State government towards defraying several charges during 2021-22 in respect of various services.
Mr. Bommai said this included ₹1,000 crore to be paid towards Jaljivan Mission, ₹3,300 crore towards COVID-19 management by the Health Department, and ₹1,700 crore towards the Food Department.
The election authorities are gearing up for the counting of votes cast in the simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and Assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh, scheduled to be held on June 4. The Collectors and Election Officers of Visakhapatnam, Anakapalli and Alluri Sitharama Raju (ASR) districts said on May 23 (Thursday) that their teams were ready for the counting of votes.
Responding to the prolonged water scarcity, the residents of the area took to the streets in protest on Wednesday. The protest, which drew attention to their plight, stopped only after the intervention of the police. It was not until 1.30 p.m. that a 4000-litre tanker was finally delivered by BWSSB, providing relief to the water-starved residents.
