While reviewing the public welfare schemes run by various departments in the district office auditorium, he directed the officials concerned that they should develop an efficient work culture for the state and district.
He said that the benefits of public welfare schemes run by the government should be made available to the general public. Whatever problems are registered by the public and public representatives, all the officers should solve them with mutual coordination as soon as possible. Lakhs of devotees visit Baba Kedarnath Dham in the district and everyone needs to work better in this direction to make the Kedarnath Yatra more smooth and easy so that all necessary facilities can be provided to the visiting pilgrims. Emphasis is also being laid on widely developing ancient temples. Karthik Swami and Kalimath would also be similarly developed.
