JAMMU, Oct 29: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah informed the Assembly that the CDF guidelines have been amended to align them to public demands. Now, ceiling on power infrastructure and solar lights under the Scheme have been removed, enabling legislators to take up more such works without any upper limits.
CM said " Further, new permissible works include purchase of school vans/buses, health aids (wheelchairs, tricycles, e-scooties), mobile water tankers etc. Chief Minister informed the Assembly that, in view of the recent floods and hardships faced by affected families, the Government has granted a one-time relaxation permitting MLAs to utilize up to ₹50 lakh from CDF for construction and repair of houses for calamity-affected families during current and 2026–27 financial year."
