Each government department’s 11-point programme prepared by cabinet sub-committee will likely to be presented before the cabinet on January 3. This 11 point programme will be implemented in the next 60 days by each govt dept.

Among the departments, food & civil supplies aims to increase the consumer week from 7 days to fortnightly, distribute digital ration cards, create a separate consumer department and strengthen consumer forums in the state. “Our programmes are aimed at providing immediate relief to consumers. These are doable things and we are sure of completing them in given time-frame,” said Hem Singh Bhadana, minister for food and civil supplies.

It will also review the sand mining policy and put its case to increase the number of lease holders to National Green Tribunal. To put a curb on illegal mining, the department will also recruit 5,000 personnel in mines protection force.

The transport department will focus on increasing the number of roadways buses and replace JCTSL buses. The department will also launch services of SMS ticket booking in roadways. “Our first priority is to make the existing transport system effective.

Ahead of the announcement of code of conduct for general elections in February end, the state government wants to complete most of its promises.

“With coordination of the departments, we have scrutinized those points which are doable and needs immediate attention. We do not want to prepare a roadmap just for the sake of it, but want to ensure that they are manageable and doable in two months’ time,” said Kataria.
