Contracted contractors of important work plans of Smart City were present in it. The Corporation Commissioner expressed his displeasure over the extremely slow pace of construction work of 3 MLD STP in Maharajband pond, 1-1 MLD STP in Narayya pond and Kho-Kho pond.

He reprimanded the concerned contracted agency Samridhi Water Works and directed the contracted contractor to complete the work of STP in all three ponds on priority basis.

Raipur. Politics has intensified over the Governor’s review meeting in the districts. Former Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel has taunted the state government on this matter. Baghel said that this is a very serious matter. This has never happened before. I am surprised to see that the Governor is going to Durg, Bilaspur, Mahasamund and other districts and is holding review meetings. This will definitely be a matter of concern for Chief Minister Sai. He is not able to understand who is running the government? It has become a matter of parallel government.

If he was the Chief Minister, then who was controlling Baghel?- Saav

Deputy Chief Minister Arun Saw has retorted to this taunt of Bhupesh Baghel. Baghel ji should remember his own tenure before saying this. He should tell who was running him when he was the Chief Minister? Baghel ji should worry about himself and the Congress. There is Vishnu’s good governance in the state. Now there is a double engine government. He should not take stress.

The governor has taken a meeting of the officers

It is worth noting that Governor Ramen Deka has been very active in Chhattisgarh since taking oath. After holding a meeting of officials in Raj Bhavan, he is now holding review meetings of officials in the districts. He has already held meetings in Mahasamund and Bilaspur. Meetings are to be held in many more districts. This activism of the Governor is being discussed a lot in political circles.
