The Chief Minister asked the DCs and BDOs to complete the implementation of the project within the requisite time frame and advised them to set a target for effective completion of projects, particularly those that are being delayed.

He informed that monthly review programme through video conferencing has been very effective as this ensures monitoring and accountability and instill sense of good governance and improves the overall implementation of the projects at the grassroot level.

The initiative by the Chief Minister to hold meeting through video conferencing has enabled the use of technology to the advantage of administration and at the same time brought administration and governance closer to the people.
