CM directs to Fast-Track Development Projects, Eliminating Delays

In the meeting, the Chief Minister directed the Public Works Department (B&R) officers to incorporate a change in the tender allotment process that would help remove unnecessary delays in development projects caused by contractors abandoning or being disqualified after getting tenders through the online bidding process. He suggested that in the new system, if L-1 (lowest bidder) leaves the project mid-way for any reason, the contract would automatically go to L-2, who would complete the work at the prescribed rates. In this way, no project would be left incomplete because of contractor issues and hence valuable time would not be wasted and overall efficiency of development initiatives would improve. This will bring a significant improvement in the speed of work, thereby completing all projects without inordinate delays, he added. Rs 274 Crore approved for waiver of Monthly Minimum Charges for domestic consumers

Another big relief measure for the consumer was approved in the meeting-the Monthly Minimum Charges would be waived off for households with a sanctioned load of up to 2KW and monthly consumption less than 100 units for an amount of Rs 274 Crore. This measure will benefit around 9.5 lakh households across the state.

It may be recalled that the Chief Minister in his Budget Speech for FY 2024-25 has announced a waiver of Monthly Minimum Charges, aims to ease the financial burden on low-consuming domestic consumers, ensuring that they are not charged for minimum monthly consumption.

Ensure every eligible family to receive 100 square-yard plot under Mukhyamantri Gramin Awas Yojna-CM

In a step towards fulfilling his promise, Chief Minister has directed the Housing For All Department to provide 100 square yard plots to all eligible families under the Mukhyamantri Gramin Awas Yojna. He was informed that more than 5 lakh people have applied for plots under this scheme and all eligible beneficiaries would receive plots in different phases soon.

To avoid leaving out even a single eligible family, the Chief Minister directed the department to explore innovative solutions. Wherever suitable land is not available in individual panchayats, a cluster of 4-5 villages can be formed, and proper allotment of plots will be ensured for all eligible beneficiaries. The ambitious scheme is expected to incur an expenditure of approximately Rs 2950 crore, to provide housing solutions to rural families across the state.
