Prayagraj: Uttar Pradesh’s Industrial Development Minister, Nand Gopal Gupta Nandi, held a meeting with police and administrative officials at the Amar Shaheed Chandrashekhar Azad Circuit House auditorium in Prayagraj on Friday to review the district’s development work and law and order situation.

Minister Nandi said that the presence of senior officers from the rural areas should also be ensured in the next meeting.
During the review, Minister Nandi directed the Development Authority to crack down on those obstructing the construction of small houses for economically weaker and poor people. He suggested to the Development Authority Secretary that a proposal be sent to the government to reduce the registration fee for urban housing allotments worth Rs. 2.50 lakh from Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 500, so that poor daily wage earners do not face difficulties.
When asked about the action taken last month, the District Mining Officer stated that action had been taken against 200 vehicles for irregular transportation. They had also been blacklisted. Minister Nandi instructed the Mining Officer to immediately submit records for presentation at the meeting.
