State Chief Secretary Amrit Lal Meena has directed the acceleration of ongoing schemes in Bihar that are being implemented with the Central Government's cooperation, emphasising the need for enhanced inter-departmental coordination. During a review meeting on Wednesday, Meena assessed projects involving the Labor Ministry, Petroleum Ministry, as well as Energy, Telecommunication, Railways, Roads, and Transport.
The meeting also covered matters related to forest and wildlife clearance, with guidance provided to address land acquisition challenges. To streamline project implementation, the Chief Secretary instructed the appointment of nodal officers for each initiative.
For projects worth over Rs 500 crore, a Deputy Collector will serve as the nodal officer, visiting project sites every 15 days to inspect progress and report to the District Magistrate (DM).
Key projects reviewed included the Varanasi-Kolkata Expressway, Amas Darbhanga Expressway, Munger Bhagalpur Corridor, and the Ram Janaki Corridor. Meena emphasised that officials must ensure these projects adhere to their set timelines and avoid any delays.
