Deputy Chief Minister Saw held a marathon meeting of the engineers of the Public Works Department for about three hours. In the meeting, he told the officials not to just sit in the office. Spend more than half the time in the field. Inspect the works closely. Take care of the quality and deadlines. He said that when you yourself determine the deadline and quality for the construction works, then it is also your responsibility to ensure that it is followed. You should be in the driving seat of every project, not any contractor or anyone else. He stressed that any kind of laxity in work will not be tolerated. Negligent officers will not only be suspended or transferred, they will be directly given compulsory retirement. chhattisgarh
