Rural Development and Panchayat Raj and Information Technology Minister Priyank Kharge, representing Chittapur Assembly constituency, has said that steps have been taken for the comprehensive development of Chittapur taluk in Kalaburagi district, with a vision extending to 2041.
Mr. Kharge, who held a meeting with Chittapur Town Planning officials in Bengaluru on Monday, discussed the Master Plan for Chittapur taluk and made suggestions for accommodating the anticipated population growth of Chittapur by 2041.
