Sonowal directs government officials to speed up development works

Sonowal stressed on expediting file movement for the interests of stimulating overall development of the state and speedy implementation of the government schemes.

For speedy disposal of a file, efforts have to be taken at all levels of a department.

Chief Minister Sonowal observed this while addressing the senior officers at the conference hall of Janata Bhawan in Guwahati.          

Sonowal also said that through an impressive work culture the aims and aspirations of the people have to be met.

A section of people of the State have alleged that the speed of the government works have slowed down and there has been negative impact on the culture of work. In this backdrop, all the government departments have to take responsibility to restore the trust of the people in governance.          

Sonowal said that for the larger interests of the people of Assam the present BJP led government has come to power and to achieve the desired changes in real sense of the term the government has to work resolutely.

To give respect to the tenets of democracy, the fruits of governance have to be delivered even at far flung areas.

“We have to double the good works done by the government this year after the impressive first year of the present government in power,” Sonowal said.          

He also said that the government officers have immense experience and this vast experience have to be translated into action. The senior officers have to be role model for the batteries of junior officers and other employees.

Sonowal also said that to stimulate all sections of the people, Central and State Governments have been taking several schemes and flawless implementation of the schemes will lead to overall development of the State.          

Sonowal also reiterated that the present State Government is committed to form a state free from corruption, pollution, terrorism and illegal foreigners and for that everybody has to take responsibility.

He also advocated that government has to stand by the side of the people during any exigency. In the recent wave of flood, every effort was made by the State Government to reach out to the affected people, adding he said that media through its reports had brought to the fore where administration could not reach.

He, therefore, thanked the media for bringing to the notice of the state government and helped it to reach out to all the affected people.

He also stated that in the coming days all steps have to be made in making the government more responsive and accountable.          

Water Resources Minister Keshab Mahtanta, Chief Minister’s media adviser Hrishikesh Goswami, Chief Secretary VK Pipersenia and host of senior officers were present during the meeting.
