The CM cautioned that delay in development work will not be tolerated and that projects must be completed on time while respecting quality standards.
He said it is extremely important to award projects to agencies that have sufficient manpower and capacity to execute them on time.
He said that the funds earmarked for development should not be used elsewhere, otherwise strict measures will be taken, including the seizure of the properties of the culprits.
