In an unveiled warning to the Babudom, Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat said that they must consider the announcements made by him as an order and any laxity in implementation of the same would not be tolerated. He said this while chairing a review meeting of the status of development works involving the Assembly constituencies of Nainital district at the State Secretariat on Thursday.
CM was apprised during the meeting that while he had made 66 announcements for different Assembly constituencies of Nainital district from March 18, 2017 to July 18, 2018 work on 30 of them have been completed and the same in 30 others is under progress.
While reviewing works of lalkuan, CM sounded displeased over the slow progress in the construction of a mini stadium at Bindukhata. He was informed by the officials of the Youth Welfare Department that the land has been made available for the mini stadium and proceedings for the financial and administrative approval are presently on.
However, CM was irritated while he was reviewing the development works of Bhimtal. The inordinate delay in implementation of his announcement of increasing the food allowance of students of Sainik School Ghorakhal left him angry and he warned the officers concerned sternly, saying that such laid-back attitude would not be brooked.
On the issues of starting computer education in Government Inter College, Okhlakanda, Bhimtal and eight km road from Shaheed Indra Singh Bargali to Khansyut, the CM directed that their GOs should be issued within a week. On delay in the construction of multi-story parking in Nainital, a stern-faced Rawat issued orders for a probe into the matter by a third party. He rebuked the officials for the delay in submitting proposals from the districts.

The GO for construction of Haldwani Jail roundabout and musical fountain would be released within 15 days.
The CM expressed dissatisfaction on high cost and poor quality of construction of overhead water tank in Kaladungi and directed the secretary Peyjal to take the matter seriously. He was told that tenders for Pabalgarh Rural Water Project, Kotbagh would be soon floated. Proceedings are on for the expansion of the overhead tanks and drinking water pipe lines in Chandrapur of Gram Sabha Ratanpur.
