Khandwa Collector Rishav Gupta reviewed the work of various departments in detail at the weekly review meeting held in the Collectorate conference hall on Monday. He told officials to complete all work on time. Zila Panchayat Chief Executive Officer Aishwarya Verma, Khandwa SDM Rishi Singhai, Harsud SDM RC Khatedia and Pandhana SDM Dinesh Sanwle were present. District officers of several departments also attended.

Reviewing the registries being done under the Svamitva scheme, Collector Gupta directed all SDMs and tehsildars to speed up the work. He said the scheme's portal runs well in the morning and evening, so entries should be made at those times to finish the work quickly.

He took stock of construction works from the Public Works Department and asked that ongoing works be completed with quality and within the set time limit. He told the Executive Engineer of the Public Health Engineering Department that villages where the tap-water scheme work has been completed should be handed over to the respective gram panchayats.

The Collector directed City Magistrate Bajrang Bahadur to remove the encroachments already identified in the city in coordination with the municipal corporation. He also asked about the progress of the blood donation camp. The works under PM Awas Yojana (Gramin) and the rural employment guarantee scheme were also reviewed.

The Collector told the District Education Officer that APAAR IDs should be made quickly for children who do not yet have one. He said in particular that no child should be left out of APAAR ID and all children should be registered.

He took information from the Agriculture Department on the availability of fertiliser in the district, and spoke to the Water Resources Department about arrangements for releasing water into canals.
