Directing the officials to ensure that drought relief announced by the State Government reaches farmers in a week, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday asked officials to curtail unnecessary expenditure and prepare a comprehensive estimate while formulating the tender document.
“Revised estimate is causing cost overruns for the projects,” he lamented, adding that guidelines in this regard were in final stage of preparation.
“The departments should study the administrative reforms committee’s report to improve non-tax revenues,” he said, at a meeting of 65 top bureaucrats in the State here on Wednesday.
