In Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Delhi, around ₹305 crore, ₹304 crore and ₹413 crore was utilised till now, respectively, out of the total funds that were released to them.
About 30 per cent of the ₹6,000 crore 'Nirbhaya Fund' which was set up after the gang-rape of a paramedical student in 2012 remains unutilised, a decade after the incident shook the conscience of the nation.
The 23-year-old paramedic student, who came to be known as 'Nirbhaya' was raped in a moving bus on the intervening night of December 16-17 in Delhi by six people. She died in a Singapore hospital days later.
