Only new works to get funding Sanjeev Pargal JAMMU, Jan 29: Five days after Financial Commissioner (Finance Department) Dr Arun Kumar Mehta proceeded on long leave, the Finance Department today issued an order authorizing release of 50 per cent funds under District Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) of approved Balance Expenditure 2020-21 for new developmental works. Official sources, however, told the Excelsior that Dr Mehta had approved release of funds before proceeding on leave and, therefore, the Finance Department order has been issued on his name. As reported exclusively by Excelsior, Dr Mehta, a senior bureaucrat in the rank of Secretary to the Government of India, had proceeded on long leave five days back at a time when the Union Territory Government is busy in giving final touch to annual budget for the financial year of 2021-22.
