Subsequently, the public at large would also be benefitted from this pro- people initiative, said the spokesperson.Meanwhile, the Cabinet also approved posting of one Kanugo for seven Patwar circles, instead of the existing practice of one Kanugo  after 10 patwar circles, thus creating 34 new posts of Kanugos for this purpose.
