Budget constraints wont stall Delhis development: CM Rekha Gupta
New Delhi, Aug 13 (PTI) Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has asserted that development work in the national capital will not be hindered by financial constraints, as she directed all department heads to ensure timely completion of projects, officials said on Wednesday. The chief minister earlier this week held a special meeting with the heads of all departments to review the progress of the ongoing development projects, public service initiatives, and administrative reforms, an official statement said. During the meeting, Gupta directed the department heads to ensure that the ongoing development projects across Delhi are completed on schedule, with continuous monitoring by responsible officials, it said. She stressed that the capital's progress towards a 'Developed Delhi" will not be impeded by financial constraints, noting that the Delhi government has an adequate budget while the Central government is also providing full support. The chief minister also directed that the e-office system be strengthened and utilised to its full potential, stressing that no development work should face obstruction under any circumstances. She issued clear directives that all capital projects outlined in the budget must be implemented without any delay, and their progress reviewed regularly. Senior officials must continuously monitor these initiatives and take immediate, effective action to resolve any issues, the chief minister said. She highlighted that the Delhi government has passed a record budget of Rs 1 lakh crore to ensure that no project faces financial constraints. Gupta added that she will continue to review the projects regularly to ensure their timely completion. She also expressed satisfaction with the success of the digital governance system, and emphasised promoting it further, along with ensuring the full implementation of the e-office system. Noting that 119 out of the 199 departments have adopted the system, she asked the remaining ones to join the e-office system immediately to ensure complete digitalisation of offices. The chief minister also stressed the active participation of all the departments in the 'Kude Se Azadi' campaign being run in August. Gupta also instructed the department heads to prioritise tasks related to representatives or ministers of the Central or Delhi governments, legislators, etc., as their work is linked to public interest. She said all department heads should prioritise renovation of their office premises so that the work environment is appropriate and people do not face any inconvenience.

Vacate govt bungalow, pay Rs 46L dues, activist tells former Maharashtra minister Munde
Mumbai: Social activist Anjali Damania on Wednesday demanded that former Maharashtra minister and NCP MLA Dhananjay Munde vacate his official bungalow in Mumbai within 48 hours and claimed he owes Rs 46 lakh to the state government for using the residence. Damania warned if Munde fails to vacate the bungalow, 'Satpuda', and pay Rs 46 lakh in pending dues, she will send a legal notice to the state government. "Munde had claimed earlier that he did not own a house in Mumbai, but his 2024 election affidavit mentions a flat at Girgaum Chowpatty which is currently not in use. It is, therefore, wrong for him to continue occupying the official bungalow. He should also pay the full rent amount of Rs 46 lakh," she told reporters here.

Munde's resignation in early March came in the backdrop of the arrest of his key aide in connection with the chilling murder of a village sarpanch in Beed district in December. Munde had previously said he could not leave the bungalow as he did not have another place to stay in Mumbai. However, Damania pointed out that the NCP leader's 2024 election affidavit referred to a flat in a building named 'Virbhavan', measuring 2,151 square feet, which appeared to be a four-bedroom apartment. The activist argued that as per law, Munde must vacate the government bungalow immediately as he is no longer a cabinet minister. Damania said she would send a legal notice to the state government over the issue. If Munde failed to comply within 48 hours, she said she would question the government's inaction and press for recovery of the dues along with his eviction from the bungalow. Sources close to the former state minister maintained that his current home in Mumbai is under renovation and hence he has requested the government to allow him to stay in the official bungalow till the work is completed.
