Srinagar July 19: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah Monday pulled up the administration, talking tough on implementation of decisions taken in the district development boards and other bodies.
“No excuses will be taken about the failure or delay in the implementation of the decisions and whosoever found guilty would be taken to task,” he said and directed the administration to be prompt and responsive to the public demands at all levels.
The Chief Minister announced a Monitoring Cell in his Secretariat, to be headed by the Principal Secretary to Chief Minister, to monitor the status of progress on various decisions taken at meetings chaired by the Chief Minister including District Development Board and public meetings. “The Cell will monitor the implementation of decisions on monthly basis and prepare a status report. Action will follow for any lapse by the concerned functionaries on this count howsoever high he may be,” he maintained.
Omar Abdullah made the announcement while chairing Srinagar District Development Board meeting here when some legislators brought to his notice that implementation on some decisions taken in previous Board meetings was at a snail’s pace.
The Chief Minister made it clear that he will not tolerate any shortcomings or failures on the part of the officers in translating the decisions taken into action and implementing these faithfully and sincerely. “I will not take any excuse on this count” he warned.
