Delhi is under financial scrutiny as Assembly Speaker Vijender Gupta referred four CAG reports to the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) for further examination. These reports, presented by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, reveal significant budgetary lapses in the previous AAP government's finance and appropriation accounts.
Key findings include Rs 15,327 crore unspent during 2023-24 and concerns about Abstract Contingent Bills worth Rs 346.82 crore, leaving doubts about fund utilization. The CAG also highlighted a drastic decline in revenue surplus and underscored irregularities in the welfare of construction workers.
Gupta emphasized the urgent need for departments to address these issues by submitting action-taken notes. The Assembly will review PAC's recommendations in its next session, aiming to improve financial governance and transparency.
