Hence, fast administrative decisions and approvals will have to be taken in the interest of the district.”BoxxxxxxxxxxPride ArtPaithani, Himroo and Bidri Art works originate from Aurangabad. Hence I aspire to market local art and handicraft on a global level. The idea hit my mind when one of my friends staying in Australia wanted to have Paithani and Bidri Artworks present as mementoes to one of his investors. I will strive to export these products, boost tourism and attract investors in Auric, said Pandey.BoxxxxxxxxxxxDiwali in DevgiriThe conversation between the two administrative officers turned out to be interesting in a lighter vein.
