Rs 76cr revenue loss for failure to penalise delayed projects: CAG
The state government incurred a revenue loss of Rs 76.38 crore due to the Public Works Department's failure to penalize contractors for significant project delays. Despite 95 road and bridge projects exceeding their deadlines by up to 1,609 days, no liquidated damages were imposed. This lapse deprived citizens of essential infrastructure and impacted financial discipline.
