New Delhi, May 28 (KNN) While chairing the third interaction through Pragati, the ICT-based multi-modal platform for Pro-Active Governance and Timely Implementation, Prime Minister Narendra Modi reviewed the progress of key infrastructure projects and stressed how improved coordination between the Centre and States could help avoid delays and cost overruns in projects.
The Prime Minister, on Wednesday, reviewed the progress of key infrastructure and related projects in various states, including Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Haryana, Chhattisgarh, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur and Uttarakhand.
Projects were reviewed in the sectors of road and rail connectivity, bridges, power transmission lines, coal, atomic energy, and industrial infrastructure.
In the course of these reviews, the Prime Minister repeatedly stressed how improved coordination between the Centre and States could help avoid delays and cost overruns in projects, according to an official statement by the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO).
Modi expressed satisfaction that PRAGATI was speeding up decision-making processes in vital projects and important areas of governance. He also said that the spirit of problem-solving and swift implementation, which is being generated through the PRAGATI interactions, is gradually spreading to all areas of governance.
In the course of his review, he reviewed the implementation of key issues pertaining to ex-servicemen. Expressing serious concern at the perceived "atmosphere of indifference" with regard to issues pertaining to ex-servicemen such as delay in pension and retirement benefits, PM directed the concerned authorities to pay more attention to their resolution at the earliest.
Reviewing the quality of service under CGHS (Central Government Health Service), he gave clear directions to the concerned departments to resolve pending issues and grievances at the earliest.
