The Chief Secretary has issued directives to principal secretaries of departments concerned, nodal officers, divisional commissioners and district magistrates to make necessary arrangements for the visit of the Chief Minister.
These officials have also been asked to inspect and submit a detailed report to the Chief Secretary’s office giving therein the problems officials are facing at the ground level.
The nodal officers have also been asked to give suggestions, if any.The spokesman said that during the inspections, the Chief Minister would see how projects were being implemented. He would review village roads, sewer system, availability of drinking water and state of schools and primary health centres in the villages.
