He sought a detailed explanation for the ongoing practice of leaving roads in a dilapidated state, causing significant inconvenience to the public. He also requested an immediate status update on emergency repair works carried out after the recent flash floods.

Officials were directed to provide the exact reasons for these failures and propose immediate solutions.
Finally, the MLA sought a comprehensive list of all Committees constituted under the Jal Jeevan Mission to ensure transparency and community involvement in the implementation process.
