Government Releases ₹153 Crore to Clear Gram Panchayat Bills

The government spent a large sum of money, ₹153 crore, to pay old bills from Gram Panchayats, which are like local town councils.

These bills were left unpaid by the previous government.

The money was used to pay about 9,990 bills, each under ₹10 lakh.

This helps the local leaders, called Sarpanches, who had been paying out of their own funds.

The government also provided an additional ₹85 crore for various development projects.

This will assist the Sarpanches and help deliver services in the villages.
