Officials have been directed to take quick action on the applications to start the enterprises and grant operating permission at the District Development Committee (DDC) meeting held on Saturday.
The instruction was given after Finance Minister K.N. Balagopal’s representative informed that the delay from the part of officials has been slowing down the process. He pointed out that some applications were put on hold for over six months causing huge financial burden to the applicants.
He also demanded that the roads dug up for various drinking water projects should be repaired. The acute drinking water shortage in Karunagapally constituency was brought to the attention of DDC by C.R. Mahesh, MLA.
