Bihar Faces Scrutiny Over Unsubmitted Project Funds

Imagine the Bihar government was given money to build things, like schools or roads.

The CAG, a watchdog, checked if the money was used correctly.

They found that the government hadn't provided proof (called utilization certificates) for over ₹70,000 crore.

This means they haven't shown what they did with the money.

Some of the money was given out a long time ago.

This lack of proof makes it hard to know if the money was spent properly and raises the risk of it being misused.

Also, money was spent at a slower rate than planned and the state's debts went up.
