The Indian National Congress has raised concerns in the Lok Sabha over the lack of information from Union Minister Rajnath Singh Rijiju regarding the Arunachal State Urban Management Project (SUMP). The party demanded that the minister clarify the project's progress, funding sources, and implementation timeline.
SUMP is a flagship initiative aimed at improving urban infrastructure and governance across Arunachal Pradesh. While the central government has outlined a broad framework, details about the allocation of resources and the involvement of state agencies remain unclear.
Congress leaders argued that transparency is essential for the project’s success and urged the minister to provide a comprehensive update. They also called for a joint parliamentary committee to oversee the project's execution and ensure accountability.
Rijiju has yet to respond to the queries, prompting the opposition to intensify its scrutiny of the project's management. The issue has become a focal point in the ongoing debate over development priorities in the northeastern state.
