The Chief Minister immediate took note of the complaint and instructed the Bhopal Collector to resolve issue immediately despite the fact that the cricket academy in question was run by a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and former MlA Dhruv Narayan Singh in his late father's name.
Chouhan's holdover the administration was witnessed soon after the Chief Minister left the venue, the Bhopal Municipal Corporation's (BMC) anti-encroachment squad started removing the academy belongings from the girls' college campus. The BMC squad was called by the collector while Chouhan was holding dialogue with the youths.
The new style of Chief Minister's working on the one hand has pleased the people of the State and they are happy that their works would now get done immediately while it has concerned the bureaucracy that is the habit of dilly-delaying things as it would now have to remain on toes for resolving people issues.

Soon after taking oath, Chouhan started the business of putting his promises into action by clearing four schemes and announced a major campaign to protect the girl child right in front of the people. "What we had promised before election I am fulfilling in front of you. It is a reflection of our transparent governance model," Chouhan told the gathering after the oath ceremony.
