Haryana state government has changed policy not to spend more than 10% amount over developmental projects finalized by the government since projects of value worth crores of rupees are hanging incomplete in the state due to delayed construction work by Public Works Department (PWD) in the state for one reason or the other as such cost of production most of such projects increased too much and according to a study by State Vigilance Bureau this is usually due to government  officers working in these projects found involved i9n corruption. Investigation by State Vigilance Bureau (SVB) revealed that huge amount of payments were released by the concerned department officers without work done by the contractors or receipt of material from suppliers on the basis of fake bills as such only in Ambala district construction work in more than half dozen important projects have come to halt in the absence of funds sanctioned for these projects since a major amount alleged spent over these projects went into the pockets of contractors raised fake bills and officers as well staff working in the departments and work in large number of such projects have stopped giving rise to conflicts.

Information reveals that in most of the cases the cost of projects hanging in between have to be revised by the government officers in the department for completion of such incomplete projects misusing their powers even increased up to 170% in few cases showing additional work done  in these projects.
