Kejriwal reviews key projects after returning from Vipassana

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today took stock of the Delhi government's key projects, including Mohalla clinics during a meeting with his cabinet colleagues here, a day after he returned from a 10-day Vipassana course in Maharashtra.
He came back to the national capital last night.
In the meeting today, progress of all critical projects were discussed department-wise, an official said.
"The chief minister reviewed the progress in setting-up of Mohalla clinics in government schools and told the department to finalise its proposal at the earliest. He also asked the officials to fast track the next phase of Mohalla clinics," the government said in a statement.

Kejriwal took stock of the functioning of the existing Mohalla clinics and directed the health department to take note of complaints and shortcomings if any and resolve those by the end of the month, it said.
At present, 158 mohalla clinics are operational in Delhi. The government aims to set up 1,000 clinics to provide better health facility to the people.

The chief minister also said shortage of doctors should be plugged.
According to the statement, Kejriwal reviewed the decisions taken in a meeting with the medical superintendents of all government hospitals last month. He directed the chief secretary to remove all hurdles in filling up of vacancies in government hospitals.

"The chief minister also directed the health department to ensure more counters for free medicines to ease the rush at hospital medicine counters," it said.
Kejriwal also reviewed the progress of development works in unauthorised colonies of the national capital.
He directed the finance department to ensure that Delhi State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation, and, Irrigation and Flood Control, the nodal departments for carrying out developmental works in unauthorised colonies, do not face any hurdle due to lack of funds.
Kejriwal also asked for the list of all social welfare schemes, including for the SC and ST communities, to examine if those are being properly implemented, an official said.
