Emphasis on strengthening the administrative system
BTR CEM Pramod Boro said that the meeting mainly discussed further strengthening the administrative system and creating better coordination between various departments.

Along with this, there is also a need to ensure that government services and benefits reach the general public on time and effectively.
Incomplete projects should be completed fast and road connectivity should be better
There was also a special discussion on infrastructure development in the meeting. The Chief Minister told the officials that road, bridge and other infrastructure projects should be completed expeditiously so that traffic in the region improves and economic activities are accelerated.

BTR’s initiatives towards inclusive and sustainable development
