Tripura has demanded fund allocation to northeastern States in a ratio of 90:10 for implementation of the smart city mission in the region, a minister said here today.
“Our Chief Minister Manik Sarkar met Union Urban Development Minister Venkaiah Naidu on Friday in Delhi and demanded central fund allocation in 90:10 ratio for the implementation of the smart city mission in the region considering its feeble economy,” State Urban Development Minister Manik Dey told reporters.
“The Centre has offered fund in the 50:50 ratio for the smart city programme implementation for the States, but it is not acceptable to Tripura,” he said.
