He instructed them to put in all efforts to introduce these reforms in different departments and was confident that once implemented, there would be a significant change in citizen services delivered by each department. “We need to bring all these reforms within a month by streamlining the functioning of all the departments concerned,” he said, and urged all department heads to work towards this end expeditiously.

The meeting also discussed effective implementation of the historic TS-bPASS Act aimed at providing building construction and layout permits within a stipulated time period.
