Addressing NMC activists here today, he pleaded that both the capital cities of the state have acquired requisite status as per all parameters to be given as B-1 status. He said that giving B-1 status to both capital cities would ensure more flow of funds for upgrading infrastructures and modernizing civic amenities of these fast expanding cities.
