Reacting to the Union Budget 2026–27, a retired ITBP Commandant and Indian Navy veteran has termed the budget strategically sound and security-conscious, noting that while Chhattisgarh received no direct allocation, enhanced capital expenditure, defence modernisation, and social sector spending offer significant indirect opportunities—provided the state proactively aligns local priorities with central schemes.

In a transformative development under the Mukhyamantri Majra Tola Vidyutikaran Yojana, over ₹7.33 crore has been invested to electrify 100 remote and Naxal-affected hamlets in the newly formed Mohla-Manpur-Ambagarh Chowki district.
