Dharwad:

Retired IAS officer Shivanand Jamdar has come out with a book which highlights the step-motherly treatment meted out to north Karnataka as far as creation of infrastructure is concerned.

 
In the book, Taratamya, he has said barely any efforts have been made to develop the region, backing his claims with statistics. The disparity in allocation of funds and lack of commitment from the elected representatives collectively ensured the region remains backward.

 
Former journalist Patil Puttappa will release the book on Thursday at Suvarna cultural complex at 6.30pm.
