“Ensuring regular power supply is the greatest service to the people,” he said while taking stock of the power scenario of the three districts of Southern Assam’s Barak Valley. Sonowal asked the DCs to complete rural electrification of the villages on a war footing.
Sonowal directed the DCs to ensure pure drinking water under Jal Jeevan Mission.
“We have to ensure clean drinking water free from fluoride and arsenic to the people to keep diseases at bay,” he added.
The chief minister asked the deputy commissioners to take local people into their confidence and involve them as important stakeholders for success of the government schemes in the state.
“The deputy commissioners and the officials of the concerned departments have to make the people aware of any development initiatives at the very beginning. The beneficiaries and the local people have to be made aware of the benefits of any scheme to ensure transparency and accountability,” he said.
He urged Hailakandi DC Megh Nidhi Dahal to build an ideal village with lush green surroundings for those living in forest land by providing all sorts of facilities.
The CM also directed Hailakandi DC to build a model village having PMAY(G) houses and other government facilities within stipulated time frame and good quality work.
