Mathura 2016.07.22 (VT): Durga Prasad Yadav, MLA from ruling Samajvadi Party and Minister in-charge for the urban development plan of Mathura has approved a budget of 275.81 crores for the development of the city. Now the doubt is how much of this amount will actually be released for development, as last year only 8.95% of the approved amount was released by the Planning and Development Board.
