Hassan: In the session held on Friday, the Hassan City Municipal Council (CMC) was upgraded to the status of a Municipal Corporation and 37 villages were included under its ambit.
Out of these, Arekalluhosalli village was unscientifically included in the Municipal Corporation.
A request, however, was made that this village be dropped, and those of Nidudi, Chittanahalli and Lakshmisagar, which are close to Hassan city, be included in the corporation.
Municipal Administration Minister Rahim Khan favourably considered the request, while addressing the media on Friday.
Prior to Hassan being upgraded to a municipal corporation, the 37 villages had to function without a Gram Panchayat and the Municipal Council members were handicapped due to lack of funds.
This predicament was discussed in the Council, leading to the demand that more funds be provided for the development of the said villages.
Minister Rahim Khan responded positively to the demand and assured that a grant of more than Rs. 110 crore would be released by the end of March for the purpose.
He said the funds received would be used in a good way and the 37 villages would be developed properly.
