Caught in politics? Two Saifai projects incomplete for years
Hindustan Times Lucknow
|December 22, 2024
Those aware of the development said the tourism department did not provide more funds or approve the revised estimates following a change of government in 2017
Rajkiya Nirman Nigam (UPRNN) was nominated as the executing agency.
The state government's tourism department had approved the construction of the tourist complex at Saifai (in March 2016) at an estimated cost of Rs 28.93 crore and a multi-level parking there at an estimated cost of Rs 41.89 crore (January 2017).
Those aware of the development said the department apparently did not provide more funds or approve the revised estimates following a change of government in the 2017 Uttar Pradesh assembly elections.
The money spent (about Rs 24.26 crore) after the department accorded administrative and financial sanction for both the projects in March 2016 and January 2017 has now turned out to be "wasteful expenditure".
