NEW DELHI, July 21 - Union Minister of State for Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER) Dr Jitendra Singh has urged the Delhi-based Resident Commissioners of States to play a proactive role in coordinating, liaising and expediting the various Centre-supported development projects and Centre-sponsored schemes in their respective states.
He was addressing a joint meeting of senior officers of the DoNER Ministry and Resident Commissioners from eight NE states here today.
He said there is a common complaint about delay in several of the projects under the DoNER Ministry and one of the commonly cited reasons is delay in submission of detailed project reports with consequent rise in the budget cost and similarly, delay in acquisition or transfer of land for new projects.
In all such situations, the office of Resident Commissioners of the respective states can help in getting the file work expedited through intervention both at the State and the Central levels, he added.
The meeting was attended by the Resident Commissioners and officers from all the eight NE states.
