Emphasis was laid on the restoration and up-gradation of roads, irrigation canals (kulls), school infrastructure and speedy execution of water supply schemes under Jal Jeevan Mission. Progress on land identification for upcoming government projects was also examined.
Taking stock of public grievances, Dr. Shamshad Shan sought detailed action-taken reports from departmental heads and directed immediate redressal of pressing issues. She also instructed the SDM Gool to officially propose inclusion of scenic locations such as Dagantop, Jabbar, Narsanga, and Rama Kunda on the region's tourism map.
