Reviewing arrangements for the ‘Pushkaralu’ with officials and elected representatives here after inspecting the ongoing construction works, Mr. Narayana said that over 95 per cent of the works were already completed.
“We are confident that the balance part of the works will be over by this month-end. Officials are on the job of monitoring the works. Our aim is to conduct the grand event in a hassle-free manner,” he said.
Referring to the budget, Mr. Narayana said that a sum of Rs. 1,400 crore had been allocated by the government for conducting ‘Pushkaralu’ on a grand scale.
