MANGALURU: The state budget presented a mixed bag for the coast. While the formation of a separate corporation and constitution of a coordination committee for the Yettinahole project did not go well with the people, some token reliefs were given in the form of setting up of an international museum of Konkani culture and oceanarium at Pilikula park.While the oceanarium project was announced in the last year’s budget, its was under the PPP model.
