NEW DELHI :
Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa, on a visit to the capital, urged Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh to sanction an independent laboratory of Defence Research Development Organisation ( DRDO ) in Shivamogga.
The Ministry of Defence has considered a proposal for a research cell of DRDO at Kuvempu University. But the state was expecting a full-fledged independent DRDO laboratory in Shivamogga, the CM said.
