ZP Chairmen meet Eatala seeking funds
Hyderabad, March 5 (INN): The Zilla Parishad Chairmen of nine districts of Telangana called on Finance Minister Eatala Rajender here on Saturday.
They demanded that the State Government restore the old system of granting funds for Zilla Parishads and Mandal Parishads. They pointed out that the 13th Finance Commission had allocated Rs. 100 crore for each Zilla Parishad from 2010-11 to 2014-15. However, the 14th Finance Commission has decided to allocated funds directly to Gram Panchayats. They said that the new system might hurt the development of Zilla Parishads and Mandal Parishads.
They also made similar representation with Panchayat Raj Minister Tarakarama Rao and Energy Minister Jagadish Reddy.
