Minister warns bureaucrats failing to go by cabinet decision

Puducherry Welfare Minister M Kandasamy on Monday warned bureaucrats of stern action ifthey did not abide by the cabinet decision and fail to implement welfare schemes.

Handing over tricyles and other benefits of welfare schemes to differently abled persons under the Member of Parliament Local Area Development Programme (MPLADP) here, he said, "It is really mind-boggling that decisions taken by the cabinet to distribute rice and other essential commodities through ration shops to the cardholders were facing hurdles because of the negative stand of the bureaucrats."
The Minister said, "We are left with only 18 months to complete the five-year term of office and people expect job opportunities to be generated and those who were not getting emoluments for months together should be paid the arrears."
