Where did funds for mining areas go in Odisha? DM residence, stadium, school events
A Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report revealed irregular spending of Odisha's District Mineral Foundation funds from 2015-16 to 2023-24, including expenditures on a hockey stadium and government infrastructure. This finding provides the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party an opportunity to critique the previous Biju Janata Dal government. The report was presented in the state Assembly on September 29, 2026.
