Centre will soon set up a committee headed by Dr. Jitender Yadav for making new guidelines for state governments for spending funds.Responding to the clarifications of the Members in the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday, the Home Minister, Mr. P.Chidambaram said this will go a long way in arresting the trend of diverting the funds meant for a particular work.
Mr. Chidamabram conceded that over Rs. 678 crore were diverted by Delhi Government for Commonwealth Games by violating the rules. He said, the NCT Government has assured the Centre that it will revert the funds meant for the welfare of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.
Earlier Members while seeking clarifications from the Home Minister expressed serious concern over the diversion of funds.
