Audit scrutiny revealed that the issues flagged in CAG’s Audit Reports during the last five years with regard to implementation of MPLADS have not been addressed and the lacunae persisted in implementation of the ACDP/CDP in the State. Report of four districts Chittoor, East godavari, Guntur, Vishapakatanam. The CPOs (chief planning officer) had exercised no control over actual expenditure and thereby not in a position to monitor actual utilisation of funds and ensure remittance of unspent balances by the executing agencies. This also led to financial misreporting. There was inordinate delay (up to 36 months) in sanction of works after recommendation by the MLAs. As against 75,474 works sanctioned under ACDP (Assembly constituency development programme) (2005-08) and CDP (constituency development programme) (2010-11) only 53,457 were completed and about 15 per cent of works under ACDP, which were due for completion within nine months of sanction, remained incomplete as of March 2011. Consequently, huge funds were locked up for long periods with the executing agencies. Sanction of inadmissible works and overlapping works under different schemes were also noticed. Asset registers were not being maintained and assets created were not being handed over to the user agencies. Inspection of works, which is crucial to assess compliance with rules and procedures and ensure quality, was neglected in three out of the four sampled districts. Several lacunae in the implementation of the scheme involving 118.13 crore thus denied the envisaged benefits to the public at large.
