Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar:
The State Government has issued an order sanctioning a fund of Rs 40 crore for the development of the city as a part of Marathwada Muktisangram Din Amrut Mahotsav. The order directs to undertake beautification, colouring and painting, conducting artists’ meet and other programmes. Meanwhile, it is a challenge before the administration as it has to plan and complete the works in a span of 15 days.
The flag hoisting is held every year to mark the Marathwada Liberation Day at the Siddharth Garden memorial on September 17. Two days ago, the chief minister Eknath Shinde announced the grant of Rs 40 crore fund for the grand celebration. Accordingly, the government issued an order on Wednesday.
