Hindustan Times  

In order to develop Belagavi on the lines of Bengaluru, the government has proposed to raise the number of wards in Belagavi City Corporation by including about a dozen villages adjoining the city and reorganising the existing wards based on population, officials said. Minister Jarkiholi has planned to include Hindalaga, Halaga, Bastawad, Modaga, Modaga, Sambra, Peeranwadi, Machche and Damane villages from Belagavi rural assembly constituency and Kakati, Honaga, Bennali villages from his Yamakanamaradi constituency into the city corporation. “I have tabled a proposal before the Urban Development Ministry and also have instructed the Belagavi City Corporation to work on the plan,” Jarkiholi said. The areas which minister Jarkiholi has proposed to include in the Belagavi City Corporation has equal number of Kannadigas and Marathis and the supporters of Congress and BJP, so there is no political motivation in the government’s proposal, Chandaragi said.
