According to Joshi, expected revenue could not be collected last year as heavy rainfall in monsoon hampered the official process. He said only Rs 960,000 was collected from June 15 to July 15.
Similarly, Tikapur Municipality in the district has collected more revenue than the target, from Tikapur Park. The revenue collected was Rs 4.5 million against the target of Rs 4 million.
