He made it clear that it is not possible for public representatives to reach every spot for quality check hence the district administration should function as the nodal officers and work in tandem with the people's representative to ensure logical culmination of the developmental works. The involvement of people's representative makes the speed of the works double. They should send the proposals of new projects to the government as early as possible.
He warned the officials that there shall be no compromise on the quality and timeline of the projects. The designated nodal officers should go and do physical verification of the development works and if it found lacking the working agency should be held responsible and liable to be punished.
