The United Democratic Front-led district panchayat has passed a surplus budget of Rs.50.06 crore on Thursday, which the four-member opposition Left Democratic Front dispelled as a dream budget cut off from reality.

In her second straight budget, vice-president Bindu George envisaged an income of Rs.920.17 crore against an expenditure of Rs.870.11 crore. The budget proposes a waste treatment plant for generating power on 30 cents of land at an estimated cost of Rs.150 crore.
