Only 18% of the Rs 135.95 crore earmarked for development works in Uttarakhand has been spent by MPs, according to a report by The New Indian Express.
A recent audit revealed that Uttarakhand Members of Parliament have utilized only 18% of the Rs 135.95 crore allocated for development projects in the state. The funds were earmarked for infrastructure upgrades, road construction, and community facilities across several districts.
The remaining 82% of the budget remains unspent, raising questions about project planning and execution timelines. Analysts suggest that delays in tender approvals and procurement processes may be contributing factors.
State officials have urged the parliamentary committee to review the expenditure patterns and ensure timely release of the remaining funds. The report calls for stricter monitoring mechanisms to prevent future underutilization of allocated resources.
