Manipur's Chief Minister has appealed to the central government for assistance to tackle a looming financial crisis, specifically requesting additional funds from the SASCI scheme.
The Chief Minister of Manipur has formally requested the central government to intervene in the state's financial crisis, citing mounting deficits and a need for urgent fiscal support.
In a statement released to the press, the CM highlighted that the state is struggling to meet its developmental commitments and that additional funds from the SASCI scheme would help bridge the shortfall.
The SASCI (State and Sub-Urban Development) scheme is a central assistance program that provides financial aid to states for infrastructure and welfare projects. The CM urged the Centre to allocate more resources under this scheme.
No response has yet been issued by the Ministry of Finance, but the request has prompted discussions among state officials about potential budget adjustments.
