Shattering the 24-year-old tradition, the Pushkar Singh Dhami government is set to present the budget on the second day of the Uttarakhand Assembly session on Tuesday, defying the customary post-lunch presentation.
The CAG report states that the failure of the District Mining Officers of Bageshwar and Chamoli to impose fines on illegal mining stockpiles resulted in a revenue loss of Rs1.24 crore.
Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami will chair a key cabinet meeting on Monday ahead of the presentation of the budget session, an official statement said.
