Good to see the CM stressing accountability. Too often, schemes get delayed in files moving between departments. Fixing responsibility is key. But will this be another meeting that ends with just instructions? We need to see results, especially before the monsoon hits. Flood control work is critical.

Healthcare and education in the hills have been neglected for years. Young people are forced to migrate to plains for basic facilities. If the government can strengthen these sectors, it will stop the migration and help our hill communities thrive. Jai Uttarakhand! 🏔️

As someone who loves trekking in Uttarakhand, I've seen the challenges remote villages face. Improving healthcare access is not just for residents but also for the safety of tourists. Efficient coordination between departments is essential. Hope the focus on timely execution is real.

The directive to resolve MLAs' issues on priority is good, but it should not become a system where only vocal constituencies get attention. The silent, remote areas need proactive governance. The proof will be in the implementation, not in review meetings.

Accountability is a big word. We hear it often before elections or in reviews. What we need is a transparent portal where citizens can track the status of these healthcare projects and see which officer is responsible for delays. That would be real governance.
