The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) has released an audit report highlighting financial lapses totalling ₹288 crore across the northeastern state of Nagaland. The audit examined a range of government schemes and departmental expenditures, identifying irregularities that together amount to the stated sum.
According to the CAG findings, the lapses span multiple sectors, though the report does not specify individual projects. The audit report has been forwarded to the Nagaland state government and the relevant parliamentary committee for further scrutiny and corrective action.
State officials are expected to respond to the observations and outline steps to recover the misappropriated funds and strengthen internal controls. The CAG has urged prompt remedial measures to prevent recurrence of such financial discrepancies.
