Parliamentary panel blames ministry for not utilizing budget in full, demands tightening of administrative steps

New Delhi:
A parliamentary committee has criticized the government for cutting funds for the environment ministry and asked it to revise the allocation since the ministry is tasked with arresting environment degradation.

The committee also blamed the ministry for not utilizing its budget in full, and demanded that it tighten its administrative mechanisms.

A report by the standing committee on science and technology and environment headed by Congress member of Parliament Ashwani Kumar said considering the vital role and function being performed by the ministry, the centre should give it priority while allocating resources.

The report, which was submitted in the last week of April, said the ministry is engaged in checking environmental degradation, which affects soil fertility, quantity and quality of water, air, forests, wildlife and fisheries.
