Water tariff hike awaiting nod

The Urban Development Department’s proposal to hike water tariff is still awaiting the Chief Minister’s nod. The department, which sent the proposal on October 10, is planning to remind Chief Minister Siddaramaiah about it. Sources in the department told The Hindu that they were hoping he would examine the proposal at the earliest.

Sources in the Chief Minister’s secretariat said Mr. Siddaramaiah was planning to convene a meeting of all civic service providers in the city.
