Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur today pulled up administrative secretaries at a meeting here for showing slackness in the execution of development projects.
He said that special emphasis should be laid on resolving the issues of recruitment under various categories that had been delayed for various reasons. He added that focus must also be laid on recruitment on the compassionate ground, as this would not only benefit the family members of the deceased but also provide employment to the needy.
Thakur said that all development projects that had been hanging fire due to cases pending in the National Green Tribunal (NGT) should be expedited. He added that the projects of various departments were getting delayed, depriving people of their benefits and resulting in cost escalation.
The Chief Minister said that the government would not tolerate laxity in the execution of projects and would not hesitate from taking stern action against erring officials. He added that special focus must be laid on achieving the targets related to various projects. The work on the projects of the Public Works Department with regard to NABARD and the PMGSY should be completed in time.
He asked the officers to maintain better coordination between various departments so that the work on the projects was not hampered. He also directed them to ensure that roads in the state were properly maintained.
Thakur said all announcements made by him should be effectively implemented and slackness in this regard would be viewed seriously. He also directed the Administrative Secretaries to identify chronic issues related to their departments and redress them.
