He warned that negligence or delays would not be tolerated and stated that the targets set by the government must be achieved collectively without compromise. Officials were instructed to prioritise delivery while maintaining administrative accountability.\n\nThe Metropolitan Commissioner outlined immediate corrective measures to remove bottlenecks in key infrastructure works and directed the expedited shifting of electricity poles that obstruct construction of master plan roads to ensure seamless progress. He also emphasised close coordination with the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation for timely distribution of Transferable Development Rights to property owners affected by road widening initiatives. Transparency in the allocation process and adherence to regulatory protocols were highlighted as priorities.\n\nThe Commissioner cautioned that strict action would be taken against any lapses that could harm the organisation's reputation and urged coordinated efforts across departments to maintain momentum.
