Maharashtra state rural development department has shelved infrastructure projects costing Rs 60 crore in the hinterland. The construction of roads, drains and other basic amenities in rural areas at the zilla parishad-level were proposed by elected representatives under a special projects scheme between September 4 and 6 last year. The rural development department has said the government has decided to scrap these projects citing lack of funds. It explained the scheme had only been granted administrative clearance.
