The work on fulfilling CM Vijay Bahuguna’s announcements should be accelerated. Department Principal Secretaries and Secretaries should review the work being done at their level. The review report should be submitted to the Chief Minister’s office. These orders were issued by the Chief Secretary, Subhash Kumar, at a meeting held at the Secretariat, here, on Monday.
A nodal officer should be appointed by every department to report on the developments regarding the announcements made by the Chief Minister. The CS directed that information on the name, post and telephone number of the departmental nodal officer should also be submitted to the CM’s office. He said that the report on the completion of work on the CM’s announcements, partial completion or work in progress status should also be similarly submitted to the CM’s office.
No department may shift the responsibility of implementing announcements to another department at its level. If there was need, they would have to send a proposal to the Chief Minister’s office giving reasons for the same.
