Purulia: West Bengal Chief Minister
Mamata Banerjee on Friday held a meeting here with top officers of
18 departments of Purulia district and asked them to finish
pending works fast.
With 15 ministers, including three central ministers
of the Trinamool Congress, present, Banerjee termed the
meeting a "mini Writers".
Writers Buildings in Kolkata is the state secretariat.
Banerjee asked the ministers to describe the problems
faced by their departments and ordered them and the officers
concerned to solve them as soon as possible.
She enquired why the district recorded only 18 days
work in 2011-12 in the MGNREGA scheme.
District Magistrate Abanindra Singh said it could not
be done due to imposition of model code of conduct for
elections.
To a question by the chief minister, the DM said the
work for preparing the land bank for the district was nearly
complete and it would be sent to her soon.
Besides the DM, two ADMs, three SDOs and 20 BDOs were
present in the meeting that lasted for nearly one and a half
hours.
