Overview
- Manik Saha chaired a Task Monitoring System video conference on Monday to demand that development work avoid causing hardship, increase public participation, and improve coordination between departments.
- The state set an annual target to screen 15 lakh people over age 30 as part of a new public-health drive to detect hypertension, diabetes, COPD, cancer and other conditions earlier.
- On Tuesday Saha inaugurated 11 infrastructure projects in Udaipur worth Rs 105.73 crore and highlighted Rs 1.21 lakh crore of investment proposals reported at the Destination Tripura Conclave.
- Officials were given specific operational orders, including fixes at Kumarghat Hospital’s paediatric department, sustained functioning of Primary Health Centres, stronger school monitoring, timely social-security payments, and regular inspections of tourist sites.
- If implemented, the measures could cut out-of-state diagnostic travel by expanding government lab networks and attract private follow‑through on conclave proposals, but delivery will hinge on converting commitments into funded, supervised work at district level.
