Dattatreya Patil Revoor says Government has allocated ₹3,000 crore special funds
Chairman of Kalyana Karnataka Region Development Board (KKRDB) Dattatreya Patil Revoor told officers and contractors concerned to complete all works approved for 2022-23 before the end of December 2022.
Chairing a meeting at the KKRDB headquarters here on Tuesday to review the progress of works, Mr. Patil said that the Government has allocated ₹3,000 crore to the board and asked the officers concerned to get approval for the works before the end of April and complete them before the end of December.
“Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai has allocated special grants of ₹3,000 crore to KKRDB. Now, it is our responsibility to utilise the amount for the overall development of the region by completing the works within the stipulated time. Officers concerned should consult their respective Deputy Commissioners and legislators and get approval for the intended works before the end of April so that the works can be completed as early as possible,” Mr. Revoor said.
Taking serious exception to the fact that the works that were supposed to be completed in 2016-17 remained incomplete in Kalaburagi district, Mr. Ravoor asked why the implementation of the works is getting delayed in the district.
“Other districts in the region showed better performance in terms of completing the works within the stipulated time. But, Kalaburagi is lagging behind. Unnecessary delay in the implementation of works and lethargy of officials cannot be tolerated,” Mr. Revoor said and asked officers who were not interested in discharging their duties to quit so that others can take their place to continue the works and complete them.
Annoyed over the absence of some officers in the meeting, Mr. Revoor directed the officers concerned to issue show-cause notices to all those who were absent for the meeting.
Secretary of the board Venkatesh Kumar also directed the officers to get approval for the works before the end of April and commence them in May.
