Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis told the administration on Thursday, they should give the excuse of the Model Code of Conduct for undertaking repair work of pipelines for water supply schemes in drought affected areas, or taking approvals for tankers, starting fodder camps and giving EGS work. “There will be absolutely no difficulty in undertaking these works and the administration should not stall these works with the pretext of MCC,” said Fadnavis. He added, “These works should be given immediate sanction and in fact should be started at the earliest.” He said that the administration will take immediate cognisance of complaints and suggestions regarding the drought relief work in Osmanabad district.
Fadnavis was talking to village heads, gram sevaks, collectors and group development officers of Osmanabad district from his official residence ‘Varsha’ through the audio bridge. People from different villages had given their complaints and suggestions regarding the tanker supply, fodder camps, EGS works and other issues to CM. He thereafter directed the collector, tahsildar and group development officers to take cognisance of these complaints asking them to take immediate action and file a report on these activities.
