THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The state budget will be presented by Finance minister K N Balagopal today at 9 am in the assembly. The Budget comes at a time when the state is mired in an economic predicament of sorts with the coffers nearly empty.

Some highly expected decisions might unfurl tomorrow on the budget day. The list goes on
