Centre rapped over implementation of NULM for urban poor

The Supreme Court on Friday pulled up the Centre for not monitoring the implementation of National Urban Livelihood Mission (NULM) meant for urban poor, saying “we do not know where the poor people of this country are heading for.”

“It is your (Centre) scheme. You have to fulfill it, otherwise scrap it”, the social justice Bench of Justices Madan B Lokur and UU Lalit said when the counsel for the Centre accused some <g data-gr-id="9">states for</g> tardy implementation of the scheme. The Bench said the states did not spend the allocated fund under NULM and moreover, there was no visible relief allegedly given to urban poor.
