GUWAHATI: In the last two months of October and November, the Government of Assam submitted only nine UCs (Utilisation Certificates) worth Rs 25.82 crore meant for various development schemes approved by the Ministry of DoNER (Development of North-East Region) across the State.
According to the Ministry s status report on September 30, 2020, the Assam government failed to submit 196 UCs amounting to Rs 232.27 crore since the inception of DoNER way back in September 2001. The report further says that among the eight NE States, Assam has the maximum number of pending UCs. Against this backdrop, the Ministry asked the Assam government to submit the pending UCs at the earliest.
