He emphasized that their timely completion was a top priority to ensure uninterrupted service delivery to the people.
The Chief Minister noted that additional funding provided during the last three months of the previous fiscal year had yielded tangible results, and this year, funds would be released from the outset under the same formula so that near-completion projects are finalized within the year.
