Punjab and Haryana HC Reviews PIL Challenging GMADA's Rs 15,000 Crore Borrowing Plan
A public interest litigation has been filed in the Punjab and Haryana High Court challenging GMADA's proposed Rs 15,000 crore borrowing plan. The PIL seeks records on project requirements, repayment capacity, existing debt, and budget approvals, and requests the court to prevent the state from using borrowed funds for non-GMADA purposes. The court has summoned the Accountant-General to clarify financial concerns, including a June communication about Rs 6,400 crore transferred by GMADA to the state treasury amid the state's significant fiscal deficits and subsidy commitments.
