IYR for decentralised development in state

Visakhapatnam: Former chief secretary IYR Krishna Rao emphasised the need for decentralised development in the state.  Speaking on the occasion, IYR Krishna Rao said that the craze of building and developing the capital city has become a major issue in the state.

The Telugu Desam government was taking unilateral decisions in implementing and electing the representatives for Janmabhoomi Committee to Padma Sri Awards which was recently observed in the state, he pointed out. 

Dr EAS Sharma said that no government had allocated huge funds for the construction of the capital city in the past. The state government was wasting the public  money in the name of capital construction by spending crores of rupees, he lamented.
