Yogi was presiding over a meeting of his council of ministers at Lok Bhawan here. His observations assume significance following reports of irregularities in transfers in PWD and health department. Action has been taken and a vigilance probe has been ordered to inquire the irregularities in public works department (PWD) transfers.
He said the “Groups of Ministers” (GoMs) should also interact with the public representatives of the opposition parties and take suggestions from them. He said reports about tours of GoMs should be given to the nodal officers of respective districts and measures for correction be taken as suggested by the ministers.

Yogi said his government had completed first 100 days of its second term and the ministers were briefing the media about their achievements. He said cabinet ministers should work in coordination with the ministers of state and they should be invited to the departmental meetings.
