Union Minister Shobha Karandlaje writes to FM Nirmala Sitharaman seeking DRAT in Bengaluru

Union Minister Shobha Karandlaje writes to FM Nirmala Sitharaman seeking DRAT in Bengaluru Minister of State for Labour and Employment and Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises in the Union government, Shobha Karandlaje recently wrote to Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman requesting the establishment of a bench of Debts Recovery Appellate Tribunal (DRAT) in Bengaluru.
