Local bodies have received one-third of the government grant today.
Of the total government grant worth Rs 225 billion that the local bodies are supposed to get in the first quadrimester of this fiscal – according to the budget speech – the local bodies have received Rs 75 billion as the first tranche of the grant in their respective bank accounts.
