Kudige panchayat initiated a campaign introducing a new method of collecting revenue tax, from all the villages under its jurisdiction. Inaugurating the function, GP president Premaleela said, villagers should co-operate in the development of the villages. She held that, along with the government grants, tax from the villagers is needed to take on the developmental works and to provide basic facilities. She also requested the villagers to pay house and water tax, which many of them refrained from paying citing various problems. GP development officer V J Lokesh said, they are providing all the facilities to Kudige, Hudgur, Mallenahalli, Byadagotta, Seegehosur, Bhuvanagiri and other villages. Since it is harvesting time, he appealed the villagers to pay tax after selling their produce and contribute to the developmental work. Revenue collectors are working till 8 PM and have collected lakhs of rupees.
During the inauguration GP members H S Ravi, T K Vishwanayak, Manjaiah and revenue collectors K C Ravi, Babu, Tilak and others were present.
