In a proactive move ahead of the scorching summer, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta chaired a high-level review meeting on Thursday at the Delhi Secretariat. Convening top officials from all departments, the session focused on operational updates, ongoing project progress, and strategies for the upcoming fiscal year.
Gupta issued strict directives, mandating that all projects exceeding Rs 5 crore in cost be uploaded to the internal ‘CM-Progress’ portal within one week. This digital dashboard aims to streamline monitoring, ensure timely reviews, and enable top-level oversight. Chief Secretary Rajiv Verma and senior secretaries from various departments attended the crucial meeting.
Emphasizing transparency, the CM urged departments to regularly update progress reports on their respective portals. ‘Our government is committed to completing every project on time, holding departments accountable, and keeping the public informed,’ she declared. Instructions were also given to expedite pending projects with top-notch quality.
A major highlight was the announcement of the upcoming ‘Delhi Mitra’ portal, a dedicated platform for swift resolution of citizen grievances. Gupta pushed for immediate completion of technical integrations, staff training, and departmental linkages to launch it without delays. ‘This will bridge the gap between government and citizens, making complaint redressal faster and more reliable,’ she added.
Turning to seasonal challenges, the CM ordered departments to gear up for summer right away. Priorities include uninterrupted water supply, stable power distribution, enhanced hospital capacities, road repairs, and seamless public services. ‘No citizen should face hardship during peak heat; all essential services must run smoothly,’ she stressed.
Gupta reiterated the Delhi government’s shift towards ‘result-oriented governance,’ where schemes translate into tangible outcomes on the ground. With a focus on timely execution, accountability, and real-time public updates, the administration aims to deliver visible progress to residents.
