He reiterated that the State Government is committed to completing all development projects within stipulated timelines to ensure timely benefits for the public.
During the review, special attention was given to projects facing delays due to land transfer, forest and environmental clearances, land acquisition, compensation payments, and other administrative hurdles. The Chief Minister directed all concerned departments to work in close coordination and resolve such bottlenecks on priority.
He further instructed officials to utilize the Pragati Portal as an effective monitoring mechanism for tracking project progress and ensuring the timely disposal of pending matters.
