RTI Activist Questions Idle Funds in PM CARES Amid Crises
The PM CARES Fund, created in March 2020 to provide financial support during public health emergencies and disasters, is under scrutiny for its management of funds. According to an RTI activist, the trust, which is chaired by the Prime Minister and relies entirely on voluntary contributions, is sitting on significant amounts of unutilized money. This raises critical questions about the government's commitment to transparency and its accountability to the citizens it aims to serve.
Why are these funds not being allocated effectively to address urgent needs? What promises were made to the public when the fund was established, and why are they not being fulfilled? As the nation grapples with various crises, the lack of action from the PM CARES Fund is alarming, prompting citizens to seek answers from their leaders.
As reported by The Hindu, the call for a thorough audit becomes louder as the public demands to know how their contributions are being utilized in times of need.
