Issues related to food safety, social welfare schemes, electrification of major projects, shortage of teachers, legal assistance for court-related matters and administrative infrastructure were also discussed extensively.
The meeting further emphasised the need for better inter-departmental coordination and stronger administrative support systems to ensure effective public service delivery and timely implementation of developmental programmes.
Chairing the meeting, the DC urged all departments to maintain close coordination, ensure timely submission of reports and work towards effective implementation of government schemes for the overall development of the district.
