He was addressing a public gathering on Thursday after inaugurating the newly constructed Panchayat Ghar and Community Center in Gram Panchayat Chhetran. This two-story building was constructed by the Gram Panchayat itself and was constructed economically at a cost of only Rs 70 lakh.
The Deputy Chief Minister commended the Panchayat for its efficient use of resources and announced Rs 1 crore for the construction of the community hall in Chhetran Panchayat.
The Deputy Chief Minister informed that ?10 crore has been approved for road improvement and expansion in Chhatran Panchayat, ensuring the construction of drains along with roads. He stated that this will facilitate easy transportation for local residents.
He stated that a 2.5 million liter water storage tank is being constructed at a height of 25 meters in Amrali. A coffee house-like facility will be developed for the public below it. This is a ?24 crore project, for which tenders worth ?3.50 crore have been issued.
The Deputy Chief Minister stated that development transcends party politics. Our objective is to ensure that the benefits of schemes reach every individual and that everyone's work is prioritized.

Under this scheme, water will be lifted from the Swan River and transported to a 1.1 million liter capacity tank in Palakwah, from where, through a 43 km main pipeline and an 80 km distribution network, approximately 50,000 kanals of land in 28 villages will receive irrigation facilities.
He informed that under Phase 1, the work of providing water to farmers through 18 tube wells was completed at a cost of ?44 crore. Due to continuous efforts, the Beet area, once considered barren, has now become a stronghold of cash crops.
