The West Bengal government, led by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, will conduct an administrative review meeting at the state secretariat on September 9, 2024. The meeting aims to assess infrastructure projects and citizen services, especially in rural areas, addressing delays caused by elections and natural disasters.

The West Bengal government, under the leadership of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, is set to conduct an administrative review meeting at the state secretariat on Monday. This meeting will focus on assessing infrastructure projects and citizen-centric services, particularly in rural areas, an official disclosed.

Chief Secretary Manoj Pant, through a memorandum on Saturday, highlighted the critical nature of regular reviews for sustainable impact. He outlined that the state administrative review meeting is scheduled for September 9, 2024, at 1 PM at Nabanna.

The memorandum pointed out that several key projects and public services faced delays due to Parliament elections, byelections, and restrictions from the Model Code of Conduct. Additionally, some districts were impacted by natural disasters, further slowing progress. Officials must now focus diligently on their assigned tasks to regain lost momentum, it added, stating that any unauthorized absenteeism will be considered a breach of conduct rules.
