MPs refuse to delete unfinished govt projects from parliament record

The Union government suggested that over 700 projects that were discussed by the current parliament but not implemented by the authorities be deleted from the parliamentary record. However, the Lower House decided to keep the discussions on record.

The Lower House committee for investigating promises and guarantees of the government submitted its second report to the parliament, suggesting that the parliament keep the promises of the government on record.

The committee report says the Union government recommended the deletion of 724 projects that were promised by the authorities during the term of the first parliament. They government made the recommendation on the grounds that some of the projects were never given a budget, while some are long-term projects that will be completed beyond the current fiscal year.
