Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday directed that a nodal officer should be assigned for each project and they should give a weekly progress report.
While reviewing development works and law and order with public representatives and officials, the CM said that senior officials should review each project every 15 days and there should be a meeting with public representatives once a month to discuss the progress of a project.
He said every project should have a set deadline and should be completed within the stipulated time in a quality manner. He also inquired about the current progress of projects from various departments, including the Public Works Department, Irrigation Department, Municipal Corporation, Water Corporation, Gorakhpur Development Authority (GDA), and Gorakhpur Industrial Development Authority (GIDA).
Yogi directed that the registration of land for acquired development projects should be expedited and compensation should be distributed as soon as possible. “Any delay in this process will be unacceptable,” he said.
He emphasised that a Nodal Officer should be assigned to supervise each construction project to ensure they are completed on time and with quality. “The nodal officer should provide weekly progress updates to senior officials. Public representatives should be involved in monitoring all projects. Officials should meet with public representatives every month to inform them about the progress of development works and consider their suggestions,” he said.
The CM said that the monsoon season is approaching and it is crucial to ensure there are no water logging issues anywhere when it rains. “Over the past few years, good work has been done to address the problem of waterlogging, but continuous efforts are needed to achieve excellence in this area,” he said.
He directed the officials to complete the cleaning of all drains on time and emphasised the need to focus consistently on the Goddhoiya Nala project to mitigate water logging issues.
While reviewing flood prevention projects, Yogi emphasised the need to accelerate efforts in flood protection works. He urged officials to assess the condition of embankments along with the public representatives.
He said that concerted efforts have successfully controlled Japanese Encephalitis (JE) and Acute Encephalitis Syndrome (AES). “Preparations are underway to continue combating these diseases in the upcoming monsoon season,” he said.
The CM reviewed the Ekla Dam project and emphasised the development of Miyawaki forests in the area.
He directed the officials to prioritize sensitivity towards drinking water, cleanliness and other civic amenities. Ensuring uninterrupted electricity supply in cities and villages was also highlighted.
He directed officials to regularly and sensitively address citizens’ issues during Janata Darshan. Resolving complaints received through the Integrated Grievance Redressal System (IGRS) and seeking feedback from complainants were also emphasized.
During the review, Yogi warned that officials showing laxity in resolving citizen issues would face strict action.
He highlighted that Gorakhpur has become a favoured destination for entrepreneurs in recent years. He stressed the responsibility of officials to hold meetings with these entrepreneurs and address their concerns.
The CM also directed for organising job fairs every month to provide maximum employment opportunities to the youth.
While reviewing the law and order, he underscored the importance of maintaining a zero-tolerance policy towards crime and criminals. He emphasised the need for stringent and continuous action against mafia elements.
Yogi directed to increase police patrolling, foot patrols, and to improve the response time of PCR vans. Regarding Eid al-Adha, he directed to ensure tight security arrangements and prevent namaz on the roads, ensuring that no one’s religious sentiments are hurt.
He emphasised strengthening traffic management by ensuring no vehicles are parked on the roads and all vehicles are parked only in designated parking spaces. He directed for tempos to also be parked at specified stands.
