Roads, green spaces, the bridge and ghats should be developed under an integrated plan,” the CM said. The chief minister ordered inspections of drainage and access routes, emphasising that construction quality must not be compromised for deadlines. Reviewing the landscaping along the canal, she criticised the unplanned plantation and demanded a comprehensive design for systematic green belts. “Unnecessary construction should be avoided and it should be ensured that development works do not obstruct traffic or pedestrian movement.
