Hubli | Monday | 16th January, 2017

Summary:

UDUPI: Health minister K R Ramesh Kumar launched a cashless system at Kottathatu gram panchayat (GP) on Sunday. I'll urge minister for rural development and panchayat raj HK Patil to send officials here to file a report on the cashless system. It will be the first GP in the state to be declared entirely cashless. The members took steps to address the problem and now, all households within the GP limits have debit cards. Its elected leaders, including the panchayat president, conducted a survey to find out the exact number of debit card holders within their purview..
