The projects run under the five-year term were estimated to spend Rs 800,000 to Rs 3 million but they are in limbo within three years of projects operation, chief of the office Prakash Chaudhari said. 


Under the programme, 12 schools, six community buildings, three parks and a temple were expected to construct during the period.
