Excelsior Correspondent
LEH, May 29: Chairman/Chief Executive Councillor (CEC), LAHDC, Leh Gyal P Wangyal in a letter to Umang Narula, Advisor to LG Ladakh, has requested his intervention in early approval of District Capex Budget for the financial year 2020-21 and release of funds for implementation of the annual action plan.
The letter reads that after LAHDC Leh’s approval of draft Capex Budget 2020-21 in the Executive Council Meeting held on May 11, the CEC LAHDC, Leh on May 12 had submitted the action plan of District Capex Budget to UT Ladakh Administration for approval and release of funds. But, even after the passage of more than 15 days, LAHDC Leh is yet to receive the approval as well as release of funds for taking up the works.
“As only limited time is left in the current financial year, it is imperative that the due approval of the LAHDC, Leh District Budget needs to accord on priority as Hill Council Leh can only call tenders and start developmental works after obtaining the approval from UT Ladakh Administration,” the letter reads.
