New Delhi: Karnataka Co-operation Minister S.T. Somashekar, who is also Mysuru and Chamarajanagar Districts in-Charge Minister, has appealed the Union Government to hold the 2022 Annual General Body Meeting (AGM) of National Co-operative Housing Federation at Bengaluru.
Addressing the 2021 AGM of the Federation at New Delhi on Sunday, Somashekar, who is also a Director of the Federation, said that the Centre should frame a policy which enables the poor to buy sites at cheaper rates.
