Mr. Azad directed that the upgradation of Satwari-R. S. Pura road should also be accomplished by next year under triple-shift system. He said that all the development works should be completed in a time bound manner to avoid time and cost over runs and benefit the people expeditiously.
Chief Minister called upon the people to come forward in a big way and become active partners in the process of development. He also stressed for discouraging the tendency of encroaching roads and government land as well as other public property, adding that government would effectively deal with such elements and bring them to book. He said those of the revenue officials who connive with land grabbers and have destroyed lattha and other revenue record will be taken to task, adding that people in general and custodians of public property in particular have to realize their responsibility of protecting and maintaining infrastructure.
Minister for Health and Medical Education Mr. Mangat Ram Sharma asserted that impact of various high public-utility development projects like roads, schools, hospitals and other such schemes is visible on ground. He said that given the speedy pace of progress on development projects the state is sure to become the most developed one soon.

Pura road, he said that the work on it is apace under double-shift system. He also appreciated Mr. Azad’s vision for launching massive infrastructure development in the state.
Member Parliament Mr. Madan Lal Sharma while enumerating the historic and bold initiatives taken by Mr. Azad like eradication of corruption, ensuring healthy work culture and switching over to double and triple-shift system of work to complete the projects within a fixed time frame have started showing visible results on ground. He exuded confidence that upgradation of Satwari-R. S. Pura road will also be accomplished within the targeted period to benefit the people at the earliest.
Mrs. Suman Bhagat said that it is the result of the double and triple-shift system of work envisioned by Mr. Azad that the bridge has been constructed in a record period of seven months instead of scheduled 18 months. She also projected several demands of her constituency.
