The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Delhi government spent ₹29 crore in advertisements released outside the Capital, which was “beyond” its responsibility, a Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report, tabled in the Delhi Assembly on Friday, said.
Of this amount as much as ₹24 crore was in violation of Supreme Court regulations and rules governing financial propriety, the report said.
“Over 85% of expenditure of ₹33.4 crore incurred in one specific publicity campaign pertained to advertisements released outside Delhi,” it said.
‘One Stop Centres’
The report also stated that the ‘One Stop Centres’ (OSCs) for rape survivors at 11 hospitals in the Capital did not have a single counsellor to provide victims the much-needed psychological assistance.
As per the report, 3,822 cases were reported at these centres from 2015 till August 2016, of which 1,219 were cases of sexual assault. “Yet no counsellor was posted in any of the OSCs,” the CAG report added.
