Reviewing the proposals submitted by public representatives, the Chief Minister said all approved Public Works Department (PWD) projects should receive final clearance and budget allocation by July 15. He instructed officials to begin foundation-laying ceremonies for roads, bridges and other infrastructure projects immediately after the budget is released.

The review meeting was held at the Circuit House auditorium in Bareilly. Warning over delays During the meeting, Yogi Adityanath made it clear that negligence in executing development works would not be accepted. He warned that strict action would be taken against officials responsible for delays in pending projects and against agencies that fail to complete work within the stipulated timeline. “No laxity would be accepted in the construction of roads, bridges, and other infrastructure," the Chief Minister said, adding that all projects must move ahead according to the fixed schedule. Sanitation fleet flagged off After the review meeting, the Chief Minister flagged off 60 advanced sanitation vehicles purchased by the Municipal Corporation from the Circuit House premises. The new fleet includes six robotic manhole sewer cleaning machines, two skid loaders, 50 CNG auto tippers and two backhoe loaders. According to officials, the new machines are expected to make the city’s sanitation system safer, more efficient and less dependent on manual labour for sewer cleaning.

Municipal Commissioner Sanjeev Kumar Maurya said the CNG auto tippers would collect household waste in four separate categories — wet waste, dry waste, special care waste and sanitary waste. He added that the robotic manhole cleaning machines are capable of carrying out 360-degree sewer cleaning without requiring any person to enter the sewer. The skid loaders and backhoe loaders will be used for desilting drains and improving solid waste management. Message on environment and healthcare At the end of the programme, the Chief Minister planted a bael sapling at the Circuit House premises to promote environmental conservation. He also inaugurated the mobile eye care service van of the Deep Charitable Trust, Bareilly. The mobile unit is expected to provide eye care services to people living in remote areas, improving access to healthcare for residents who are unable to reach medical facilities easily.
