In a missive to all ministries, the Cabinet Secretariat has ticked them off for neglecting to include key details in proposals related to infrastructure projects sent to the union cabinet and cabinet committees.

In an ‘office memorandum’ to all secretaries on Tuesday, the Cabinet Secretariat said infrastructure proposals sent for the consideration of the cabinet and cabinet committees should contain a statement on “major milestones” and “corresponding target dates for achieving them”.

It said that this appendix “is to be specifically mentioned and brought to the attention of the cabinet/cabinet committee as part of the approval paragraph”.
