“When the NEC was formed, it was meant for critical infrastructure building in difficult places. Like in Khathlang or in Bhandarima, in those remote places roads could not be built with the money of the general budget in the state then NEC budget was spent for creating those critical infrastructures, but the situation has changed now”, he told reporters.

Chowdhury said, “Now, what they do is organizing some fairs or making Nasa mukta centres. We are not against these, but NEC fund is not for these”.
