Expressing his displeasure over the delay in completion of development projects for public welfare, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has said negligence on part of the officials concerned in this regard would not be tolerated.
“In case of unnecessary delay or negligence in completion of development projects, or reports of corruption, the Government officials concerned, including the additional chief secretary, principal secretary, and secretary level officers among others would be held accountable,” the Chief Minister said while reviewing the updated status of various development projects.
Yogi sought a detailed report on important development projects in all the 18 divisions from the chief secretary. He also directed the additional chief secretary (finance) to prepare a detailed report on project-wise budget released to the departments in the last five months along with details of expenditure so far and the remaining amount.
Next week, the chief minister will review project-wise progress of works once again.
Reviewing the district-wise progress of development works, Yogi Adityanath said that any delay in development projects not only led to wastage of public money, but also affected public welfare at large. “Therefore, special attention should be paid to ensure timely completion of the development projects of public welfare in the state,” he said.
Stressing on the allocation of funds as per the rules fixed for the project, the chief minister said that procrastination should be avoided to complete the projects within stipulated time.
“There is no paucity of funds for development works. In this regard, the Finance Department and the Chief Minister's Office can be contacted as per the requirement,” Yogi remarked.
