Karnataka Minister for Urban Development and Housing UT Khader today said that Rs. 91.34 crore have been spent so far on seven cities in the state selected under the Smart City project.
The central and the state governments have each earmarked Rs. 886 crore for the project.
Responding to a query from BJP MLA KS Eshwarappa during question hour, the Minister said new guidelines and rules have been framed under the project. He said that the creation of a special purpose vehicle for the project has been the cause for the delay in its implementation in the seven cities.
