"No laxity in timely implementation of government schemes will be tolerated and the erring officials will be sternly dealt with," he said.
Bahuguna asked officials to pay special attention to departments concerned directly with the masses and ensure that foodgrains, kerosene and LPG cylinders be made available to the common man smoothly.
The Chief Minister directed them to ensure implementation of development and welfare schemes in a time-bound manner and prepare a sound roadmap for regular supply of power and drinking water to people.
