Early Times Report
Jammu, Nov 22: The state is all set to lose around Rs 101 Crores due to code of conduct as eight projects sanctioned seven months ago are yet to take off.
The projects under Center Road Fund (CRF) sanctioned by center government were already getting delayed and may be further delayed due to imposition of Model Code of Conduct in the state. Sources told Early Times that the eight projects under CRF were sanctioned by centre government in the month of March this year at the estimated cost of Rs 101 crore (Jammu =7, Kashmir1) are about the to be lapsed due to undue delay in starting the projects.
