Yogi was reviewing the progress of various departmental schemes at a high-level meeting with senior officials of the state government here. He said major reforms are needed in the functioning of tehsils and the state government should make concerted efforts to carry out reforms maintaining transparency and timeliness.
The CM said complaints/problems should be redressed within a time limit. He said digitisation should be encouraged and cases related to inheritance/succession should not be kept unnecessarily pending. He said the state government is providing incentives to encourage investors set up industrial units in Uttar Pradesh.
