At the meeting, Fadnavis also directed the secretaries of all government departments to submit implementation reports of various projects, which are financed by the Centre and World Bank, within 15 days. The directive was given to ensure that all the departments enforce their respective schemes in a time-bound manner. The chief minister also reviewed the progress of various social welfare and infrastructure schemes.
