Karnataka Approves Praja Soudhas for Newly Formed Taluks
The government in Karnataka is building new offices, called Praja Soudhas, for areas that recently became official districts, called taluks.
These new buildings are because the old ones were too small and made it hard for people and government workers to do their jobs.
The Chief Minister gave the official go-ahead to start building these offices in Yadgir district.
The buildings will cost about 8.6 crore rupees to build and will be built in two parts.
The local leaders are happy as this will help the areas by providing basic amenities to the people.
Karnataka government approved administrative buildings for newly formed taluks.
The buildings, called "Praja Soudhas," will be constructed in Gurmitkal, Wadagera, and Hunsagi.
The project addresses the lack of adequate space in existing government buildings.
The administrative approval was handed over by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.
The total cost for the project is ₹8.60 crore, to be implemented in two phases.
