Conducting a department-wise review, the ADDC directed officers to expedite the establishment of units against the allotted targets for 2026-27 and to ensure timely utilisation of released funds. He stressed upon clearing pendency in applications, weeding out inactive cases and registering genuine beneficiaries, besides maintaining GPS-tagged photo documentation for real-time monitoring.
