Tuki holds review meetings ahead of state budget

Arunachal Chief Minister Nabam Tuki is holding a series of review meetings to take stock of the development schemes in the run-up to presentation of budget in the next assembly session.

Tuki convened three different review meetings with rural works, public health engineering and public works departments here on Saturday, a press release from the CMO said here today.

While terming the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana as a boon for Arunachal, Tuki said "State should take more advantage of the flagship programme to connect as many habitations.

On collection of water tariff, he advised to examine the feasibility and propose for entrusting the responsibility of revenue collection to urban local bodies.

Taking part in the review meeting of PWD, the CM directed that a proper road master plan for each district should be prepared to enable the government plan for road connectivity to each and every village in a phased manner within available resources.

All the stake-holders in road development like PWD, RWD and BRO should work in unison in preparing a comprehensive master plan, he opined.

The CM directed to list out those schemes which are targeted to be completed by March 2015 so that the requisite amount of state share for these could be earmarked in the Affiliate Outreach Project (AOP) of 2014-15.
