Citing a nine-year-old incomplete project, the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) of India in its latest report stated that funds of Rs 10,747 crore were lying “locked” in 176 incomplete projects in Gujarat.
These projects, each valued at Rs 10 crore or more, had a completion date that was on or before March 31, 2022, the CAG stated in “State Finances Audit Report” tabled in the Gujarat Assembly on Wednesday.
All of these incomplete projects belonged to just two departments — the Roads and Buildings department (159 projects) and Narmada Water Resources, Water Dupply and Kalpasar department (17 projects).
