Finance Minister K.N. Balagopal has directed that all departments work in coordination to facilitate the pre-monsoon preparations in the district.
“All blocked canals should be cleared to ensure the smooth flow of water and the local bodies should take initiative in pre-monsoon cleaning,” he said at the District Development Committee (DDC) meeting here on Sunday. The Minister added that there should not be any lapse in plan and non-plan fund utilisation. “Expenditure should be kept accurate in order to complete development works in a timely manner. Clear planning is required to complete major projects and the Public Works department should complete the maintenance of roads in a time-bound manner,” he said.
