may get stick on panchayati raj
Chandigarh, July 9
The Badal government, which
continues to dodge the Centre on the empowerment of panchayati raj

Panchayati Raj Ministers on July 11 in Delhi. The Rural Development
Minister, Mr Venkaiah Naidu, has convened a meeting of the Ministers
concerned of all states to discuss important issues pertaining to
panchayati raj institutions.
