Reviewing the progress of projects, the CM instructed the Civil Department of IIT-BHU to inspect the work at Ramnagar Shastri Ghat. If repeated poor quality is detected, FIRs should be filed, and the responsible parties blacklisted with legal action initiated.
He stressed resolving public grievances daily and dealing strictly with top ten criminals, ensuring no pending cases. The CM also visited Shri Kashi Vishwanath and Shri Kalbhairav Temples, unveiled 11 LED screens at Shri Kashi Vishwanath Temple, and reviewed road widening work on the Pandeypur-Lamahi stretch, calling for its swift completion.
