The idea of new taluks had not been shelved and the delay in the implementation was because the government was busy implementing the subsidised rice scheme. <br /><br />He said the new taluks would be formed in phases, based on the availability of funds. <br />Forming new taluks costs Rs 18 crore each, he said. <br /><br />The minister admitted there were lapses in providing services at ‘Atalji Janasnehi’ centres and in the ‘Aasare’ scheme. Steps would be taken to set things right, Prasad said. <br /></p>
