Use of SGRY funds dominates Question Hour

GUWAHATI, July 16: The Assam Assembly today witnessed a heated discussion over the underutilization of Sampurna Gramin Rojgar Yojana (SGRY) funds and failure of the Government to get the SGRY's term extended in the State to execute the pending schemes. The Opposition criticized the State Government's failure to extend the term of the SGRY by two months even after the Assembly had passed a proposal to that effect earlier. The Government also came under attack for the anomalies in the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) in the State.
