The Congress‑led state administration is reporting difficulties in obtaining funds from the Union government and in fully deploying allocations under central schemes.
The Congress‑run state government has flagged persistent challenges in securing financial assistance from the central government. Officials say that the flow of allocated funds under various Union schemes has been slower than expected, hampering planned development projects.
Sources within the administration attribute the bottleneck to procedural delays and a lack of consensus on fund release criteria between the state and centre. The gap has forced the state to rely on its own resources to keep essential services running.
State officials caution that continued shortfalls could affect the implementation timeline of health, education and infrastructure programmes that depend on central allocations. They have urged the Union ministry to expedite the disbursement process to avoid further setbacks.
