Over 40% rise in budget spending for urban poor [1]

After an almost negligible increase in budget spending for the urban poor for the past few years, the total spending on the poorer section of the society will see a drastic rise of over 40 per cent in the 2012-’13 fiscal. The civic budget presented on Tuesday provides for a total outlay of Rs 6,553.91 crore for the urban poor, a sharp rise from Rs 4,562.68 crore the previous year. The BMC had spent Rs 4,351 crore in urban poor schemes in 2010-’11 and Rs 4,155 crore in 2009-’10.
