Imphal, January 08 2018:
In view of the next State Assembly session which will commence from February 2 and a full budget would be tabled, the Chief Minister today convened a meeting and discussed preparation of budget proposals for different departments.
During the meeting which was attended by Ministers and heads of departments, the Chief Minister instructed the Planning Department to complete the process of allocation of capital expenditures (earlier known as plan expenditures) to different departments by January 15 .
With the Planning Department yet to allocate capital expenditures, different departments are unable submit financial proposals to the Finance Department which would be reflected in the State budget.
Nonetheless most departments have submitted non-plan expenditure proposals to the Finance Department, informed a source.
As decided at a meeting of the governing council of the State Mission on Employment held earlier today with Chief Minister N Biren in the chair, a committee comprising of three officers has been constituted to identify departments where new recruitments can be made, added the source.
