He issued these instructions during a brainstorming session at the Hydel Bhawan here to find solutions to people's grievances in the area, an official release said.
Eight MLAs from the Kandi area attended the meeting and discussed issues of their respective constituencies.
The irrigation minister watched a detailed presentation by P P Garg, Chief Engineer, KAD/Vigilance on the Kandi Canal projects and initiatives of KAD administration to ensure water availability.
