Chief Minister directed the concerned officers to redress these grievances on priority. He said that all Ministers had also been asked to participate in this initiative so that public grievances could be addressed in time time-bound manner.

The Chief Minister announced several development projects for Putriyal, including the construction of a new building for Putriyal School and a Health Sub-Center with adequate staff.

The Chief Minister said that the State Government has introduced several initiatives aimed at strengthening the rural economy. He said that the State will procure naturally grown wheat and maize at rates of Rs. 40 and Rs. 30 per kg, respectively which will go a long way ensure the remunerative prices to the farmers.
