The Principal Secretary instructed the ENC to initiate appropriate action against the agency for the time overruns and unsatisfactory work.
Regarding Gollapadu Channel project execution, Arvind Kumar appreciated the work done especially with regard to the creation of pipeline for a major stretch, including the fencing of the channel with fencing on either side to protect it from encroachments.
While informing the development of greenery on this protected land and creation of street vending zones wherever feasible, the Minister requested the government to consider revised administrative sanction for the project and immediate release of Rs 15 crore.
It was informed that one new market was newly started and sites were identified for development of three integrated Veg and Non-Veg Markets. The Principal Secretary assured that necessary funding for integrated markets would be provided and advised the Minister to re-examine the feasibility wherever the site extent was less than 3 acres.
