As the nation is engulfed by protests and demonstrations over the rape and murder of a 27-year-old veterinarian in Hyderabad, the Centre informed Parliament that five states and a Union Territory have not utilised a single penny of the Nirbhaya Fund granted to them by the Union Home Ministry to firm up women's safety.
According to the Centre, Maharashtra, Manipur, Meghalaya, Sikkim, Tripura and Daman and Diu have not utilised the fund at all, even though the home ministry allocated Rs 18,292 lakh to them.
According to the data tabled by the Ministry of Women and Child Development, as of November 2019, more than 91 percent of the money sanctioned to the states and UTs by the home ministry remains unused. Of the Rs 1,672 crore allocated by the ministry, only Rs 147 crore has been used.
Telangana, which has been witnessing protest marches and a political blame game since the veterinarian's rape and murder came to light, had used just 4 percent or Rs 4.19 crore of the Rs 103 crore allocated to it, whereas Delhi, notorious as the rape capital of India, used only 5 percent of the Rs 390 crore sanctioned.
