Bengal Govt. Sanctions Funds for Court Infrastructure After Criticism
The West Bengal government has decided to give money to fix up the courts in the state.
A judge asked why they hadn't given money for repairs and improvements.
The government said they would give 50 crore rupees for this.
This money will be used for many projects to improve the courts.
The government has faced complaints about being slow to give money, which has stopped some work.
The judge wants to know if the government will give money for other court projects too.
The government now has a new deadline to clarify the matter, and the next hearing will be held on September 24.
West Bengal government sanctioned Rs 50 crore for court infrastructure.
The Calcutta High Court questioned the government about funding.

Funds are for 14 infrastructure projects.
