Chief Secretary, Madhav Lal Friday impressed upon executing agencies and Deputy Commissioners to strictly pursue the policy of completing development works within stipulated time-frame.
Chairing a State level Screening Committee Meeting on BADP here, the Chief Secretary expressed serious concern over spill over works taken up under Border Area Development Programme (BADP) and delay in execution.
Madhav Lal stressed on time-bound completion of works while driving home the significance of raising infrastructure under BADP in a State like Jammu and Kashmir.
