Additionally, she instructed the effective implementation of a ‘No Vehicle Day’ once a week.
During the meeting, the Chief Minister also directed officials to conduct regular inspections in their areas.

The Chief Minister encouraged all officials to regularly share updates about their work and corrective measures through social media, ensuring transparency in government operations.
