Khandu Highlights Govt Reforms During BJP Meet 

Work harder or face the music, CM tells officials 
TAWANG, Aug 24: Chief Minister Pema Khandu on Thursday highlighted various reforms taken by state government for improving work culture of the state.
Addressing the executive meeting of the Tawang district BJP at Jang Auditorium, he said his first step after becoming chief minister was to address the grievances of the state government employees. This he said was to motivate government employees who are the main workforce of the state government, a report from the PRO said.
“The main impediments to development are not the public but the lack of work culture among our government employees. So to improve the working atmosphere, I first tried to understand their issues,” Khandu said.
“Now that all your demands have been fulfilled, it’s time to work,” he said with a stern warning to non-performing employees about being shown the doors.
“Non-performing officials at the directorate level will be posted to the newly created posts of 10 directors, whose powers and functions will be equivalent to that of planning in engineering departments,” he said.
The CM said that an order, aimed at improving work culture, has been issued through the chief secretary fixing 9 am to 5 pm as working hours in state government offices. This order will soon be issued as notification, he added.
 “I expect the government officials to perform on the level of benefits they receive,” Khandu said, reminding that besides bureaucrats all CMs and ministers have to perform under Prime Minister Narendra Modi
“Every two months, all CMs of BJP-ruled states are called at party office to show our performance report. The areas where we are failing are clearly marked for us to improve upon,” he said, appreciating the system.
Earlier, RWD Parliamentary Secretary Jambey Tashi moved a political resolution that was backed by Zilla Prabhari Naresh Glow. Tashi appreciated the Khandu government for holding regular Cabinet sittings every month. 
He said the state government has had 15 sittings with 265 decisions taken, which has now set the pace of development. This is unlike in the previous government where hardly any decisions were taken
 due to which the developments were hampered, he said.
Tawang MLA Tsering Tashi, who moved the financial resolution during the session, appreciated Khandu for handling the state’s finances very well. State BJP leader Malling Gombu backed the resolution. “When he (Khandu) took over as CM, the state’s financial position was in very bad shape. There was the notion that his government won’t last. But through his hard work, he has proved his critics wrong,” Tsering Tashi said.
He said the state has been performing well on all fronts with well-managed finances and no issues of corruption. “The Centre is today highly impressed with the present government.” Chairman of Hydro Power Development Corporation of Arunachal Pradesh Limited Tungri Effa, former Advisor to CM Lobsang Phuntsok and Zilla Parishad Chairperson Jambey Tsering also spoke on the occasion. District BJP President Sange Choddup delivered the welcome address, the report added.
