Will personally monitor welfare schemes: Minister

Jharkhand Minister Jai Prakash Bhai Patel on Friday assured people that he would personally monitor all the welfare schemes allotted to Hazaribagh district.

"I will monitor effective implementation of all the poverty alleviation Centrally sponsored schemes in the district as the people are facing problems in getting essential commodities," the Urban Development and Excise Minister said.

Disappointed at the pot-holed roads across the town, he assured steps for construction of roads.  "I have received many complaints about bad roads in Hazaribagh town," he said and blamed previous governments of neglecting road network in Hazaribagh. "My aim is to make Hazaribagh a model town," he said while lamenting about the lack of amenities.
