District in-charge secretary for Dharwad and Administrator of Dharwad Zilla Panchcyat Raikumar Supur has asked officials to conduct more field visits to assess the progress at the ground level and not restrict themselves to office rooms. Chairing a virtual review meeting of Karnataka Development Programmes (KDP) on Tuesday, Mr. Ravikumar pointed out that because of COVID-19 and lockdown, development works had slowed down. Some of the departments had not been able to achieve the targets given to them, he said. Mr. Ravikumar emphasised the need for officials to go the extra mile to ensure that the development works are completed at the earliest. Especially, officials of the Health, Education and Women and Child Welfare departments should take keen interest in implementing flagship programmes, he said.
