JAMMU, Oct 19: The Central Government has announced an annual grant of Rs 775 crore directly to 4490 Panchayats and Rs 525 crore to 79 Urban Local Bodies in Jammu and Kashmir with effect from their formal constitution, which is expected by December to facilitate strengthening of the Local Bodies and developmental works by them.
“The grants will flow every year now till the elected Panchayats and Urban Local Bodies were in place and will be at the sole discretion of the civic bodies, which will identify and execute the developmental works on their own without any interference by the State Government excepting some supervisory powers enshrined under the official rules,” official sources told the Excelsior.
The annual grant, according to sources, could be further increased after review of expenditure at the end of every financial year. The release of grants had been assured by the Centre once the process for holding elections to Panchayats and Municipalities was set in motion by the then Governor NN Vohra in July this year.please see more,
