The Minister directed officials to treat CM announcements as commitments made to the public and to complete them on priority. If any project is delayed, he asked for a report and immediate action to expedite progress.No Compromise on QualityTaking a firm stand on construction quality, Ranbir Gangwa warned that “a low bid in tenders does not give contractors the licence to use substandard materials. We want good quality work. There will be no compromise on strength and standards.” He instructed regular quality checks and sampling of materials used in projects. Junior Engineers (JEs) should maintain close supervision at work sites, ensuring cement, steel and other materials are of high quality.Rainwater Drainage ReviewedThe Minister sought detailed district-wise reports on drainage following recent rainfall. Officials shared data on rainfall levels and drainage response times. Gangwa directed that the drainage process be made more efficient to prevent future waterlogging.

Answering their calls is not just a formality, it’s your responsibility,” he said.
