Karnataka Border Development Authority chairman C. Somashekar has expressed concern that funds released by the State government for various development works in Belagavi and border villages have remained largely unutilised. The State government has released ₹14 crore for various works in the border areas since 2010. But officials of various departments have been negligent. A large part of the funds are not utilised. Officials have sent utilisation certificates of only a part of the funds released, he remarked in a meeting with senior officials in Belagavi on Monday. If the utilisation certificates are not received by the State government in a month, further grants will stop, he said.More Related News
