The Home Secretary advised various implementing departments of the special developmental package to stick to deadlines in order to ensure the success of the package.
He noted with concern that the package had already jumped from Rs 80,068 crore when it was announced on November 7, 2015 to Rs 1 lakh crore in just two years because of overshooting of deadlines.
