Saket Gokhale’s supplementary question during Question Hour on when the fund of over Rs 828 crore, withheld from Bengal, would be released under the National Health Mission

Sir, through you, I wish to ask a very specific question from the hon. Minister. Is it true that funds of over Rs.828 crores have been withheld from the State of West Bengal under the National Health Scheme for the frivolous reason of not adhering to the colour branding specified by the Union Government? If yes, please state and give an assurance as to when the pending dues of over Rs.828 crores, owed to West Bengal, will be released by the Ministry.
