Directive to local bodies
A District Planning Committee meeting here on Monday directed local bodies to utilise 90 per cent of the Plan funds before February this year.
The meeting said though the government had directed the local bodies to spend 60 per cent of the funds by December last year, only 48 per cent could be spent.
District panchayat president T.N. Khandamuthan said the government directive was to spend 90 per cent of the Plan funds by February and the remaining 10 per cent in March. The meeting decided that the local bodies should submit their annual Plan for 2014-15 for approval before January 31.
