Pushkar Dhami held a meeting with all district magistrates and senior police officers to review development works, public services, law and order, preparations for upcoming festivals, disaster management and Kumbh Mela-2027.
Officials were directed to complete all assigned work within the prescribed deadlines and maintain quality standards. They were also told to resolve matters linked to public interest without unnecessary delay.
Road repairs and public services
The meeting placed particular emphasis on road conditions. Officials were instructed to accelerate efforts to make roads pothole-free and to repair roads immediately after completing pending sewer and drinking-water pipeline work.
The unfinished sewer and drinking-water pipeline projects must be completed by 1 November. The direction is intended to prevent road-repair work from being delayed after utility construction.
Officials were also asked to strengthen sanitation arrangements across the state. Revenue cases must be resolved within the stipulated time, while eligible voters must be added to the electoral rolls.
Police complaints and accountability
Senior police officers were instructed to ensure that every complainant who approaches a police station receives action according to the law. The direction covers complaints brought by members of the public seeking official assistance.
Pushkar Dhami said he would personally travel by road across the state to inspect road conditions and the quality of construction work. The inspections will also assess whether work is progressing as directed.
He warned that responsibility would be fixed and action taken under the rules if officials are found responsible for negligence, poor-quality work or avoidable delays.
Kumbh planning and disaster response
Preparations for Kumbh Mela-2027 are to be reviewed every week. The meeting also directed officials to provide immediate relief to people affected by disasters and ensure health services in difficult-to-reach areas.
Other priorities included preventing human-wildlife conflict and maintaining regular oversight of development projects. These instructions place district-level implementation and monitoring at the centre of the administration’s next steps.
The meeting covered both routine public services and preparations for major future events. The immediate deadlines concern pipeline completion, road restoration, complaint handling and the continued review of Kumbh Mela-2027 arrangements.
Conclusion
The administration has set 1 November as the deadline for completing pending sewer and drinking-water pipeline work, ordered immediate road repairs and required weekly Kumbh Mela-2027 reviews. Officials may face action for negligence, poor-quality work or avoidable delays.
