Delay In Executing Irrigation Projects Costs Telangana Exchequer Rs 1 Lakh Cr More: CAG

Deccan Chronicle  

Hyderabad: The cost of 20 irrigation projects commenced between 1983 and 2018 in Telangana doubled from over Rs 1 lakh crore to Rs 2 lakh crore as of March 2023, due to non-completion, the CAG report has said. In addition to this, the government has a pending liability of Rs 8,971 crore in respect of 13 incomplete irrigation projects, the report said. The CAG also said Hyderabad Urban Agglomeration is a case where there has been no expenditure despite Rs 10,000 crore being proposed in the budget of 2020-21 to carry out Musi River purification and Musi River Front Project, among others, with an estimation that Rs 50,000 crore would be required for next five years. However, the entire provision of Rs 10,000 crore remained unutilized during 2020-21 and the following year the budget was reduced significantly to Rs 2,600 crore and the next year it further shrank to justice Rs 200 crore even and the reduced provision remained unutilized, the report said.
