The Comptroller & Auditor General (CAG), in its report submitted in the Parliament today, has noted that the J&K government has made several “unfruitful expenditure” under different heads, including running of a solar plant, water storage tank and lift-irrigation scheme, etc.
The report stated, “Non-settlement of payment of Works Contract Tax with the State Taxes Department rendered 128 solar power plants installed at police establishments non-functional since September 2014 despite spending Rs 9.7 crore between May 2014 and January 2015 and availability of maintenance-free warranty.”
