Ensure that projects that can be resolved quickly are not unnecessarily delayed. Officials who cause unnecessary delays should be held accountable. Special attention should be paid to quality and timeliness in development works. All departments should coordinate with each other to resolve public problems.

The Chief Minister stated that resolving public issues is the state government’s top priority. Officials should maintain constant coordination with public representatives to address public concerns. He called for special attention to be paid to health and education in mountainous areas. He urged continued efforts to ensure the timely availability of helicopter ambulances and improve healthcare facilities in remote areas. Any proposals for construction-related work that need to be transferred by any department to another department should be sent promptly. Responsibility for delays should be fixed for the respective departments.
The Chief Minister directed officials to prioritize the issues raised by the MLAs through the respective departmental secretaries. He also directed that pending cases at the Forest Department level related to the Chief Minister’s announcements be reviewed separately. He directed the Chief Secretary to organize a comprehensive review meeting before the monsoon season, taking into account the challenges of the rainy season. Works related to flood control should be completed on time.
The Chief Minister directed the officials to complete all preparations on time for the upcoming Chardham Yatra. Periodic meetings should be held with the Hotel Association to resolve their issues regarding commercial cylinders. All arrangements for the Yatra should be strengthened.
