Either it is not properly communicated to the
councilors or the councilors do not know how to draw it and spend it. As
rule councilors cannot draw the funds directly ;they have to indent for
the projects which the Corporation will directly implement .The Chennai
corporation should do root cause analysis , find out the gap and address
the problem to ensure what is indented for public should reach them.
