₹100 crore & counting! Govt spends big on Exposition

The State government has spent almost Rs 100 crore, so far, to raise infrastructure for the ongoing decennial Exposition of the Sacred Relics of St Francis Xavier. Anticipating Rs 300 crore financial support from the Centre, the government had earmarked only Rs 10 crore for the event.

Highly placed sources confirmed that the Public Works Department (PWD) -- the nodal agency for setting up infrastructure -- has spent Rs 100 crore on the event, with overall expenditure expected to increase to Rs 150 crore.
