MANDI — Member of Parliament (BJP) Kangana Ranaut chaired a District Development Coordination and Monitoring Committee (DISHA) review meeting in Mandi, Himachal Pradesh, issuing strong directives to regional administrative officials over delayed execution of Centrally Sponsored Schemes (CSS) and fund utilization.
Addressing departmental heads, the parliamentarian criticized systemic delays in project implementation, emphasizing strict fiscal oversight and ground-level delivery of public welfare funds across the constituency.
Key Administrative Directives & Compliance Oversight

Fiscal Compliance & Fund Leakage Mitigation:

Leakage Oversight: Highlighted concerns that up to 30 to 40 percent of public funds risk diversion or misallocation without stringent monitoring mechanisms.
-
Targeted Delivery: Directed that central funds must reach intended rural beneficiaries without remaining confined to administrative paperwork.
-
-
Project Execution & Timeline Delays:
-
Fund Allocation Implementation: Questioned project stalls regarding allocated funds—including a specific $₹11\text{ crore}$ development fund—demanding immediate completion reports rather than procedural updates.

Quality Standards & Reporting: Ordered strict quality control checks, adherence to project completion deadlines, and transparent utilization certificates across all ongoing civil infrastructure and development works in the Mandi constituency.
