Addressing the review meeting, the Chief Minister said that I congratulate and welcome all of you in this meeting. Munger District Magistrate Shri Avnish Kumar Singh has given information about the developmental works going on in the district, I thank him. The public representatives present here have also put forth their views.
Today we have visited many places and seen the development works. We will tell the officials to ensure further action keeping in mind whatever needs are there here. The districts visited during the Pragati Yatra and the announcements made during this time are being passed by the cabinet. In the course of Pragati Yatra in the districts of North Bihar, a total of 188 schemes worth Rs 20 thousand crores were announced. Out of this, 121 schemes were approved by the Council of Ministers yesterday. Along with this, 67 schemes have been approved at the department level. Our aim is to make Bihar progress in every way.
Remember the development work we have done in Bihar after the year 2005. We have been visiting the whole of Bihar from time to time since the beginning. When the program of Pragati Yatra was made, the officials gave information about the problems of all the districts and we asked them to work on it, work is being done on all those things. Development work has been done in every area, you all must remember this. We have worked for the development of all sections and all areas, you all should not forget that.
The Chief Minister said that we started working for the development of Bihar from 24 November 2005, since then we are constantly engaged in taking Bihar forward. You all are aware of the condition of Bihar before the year 2005. People were afraid to come out of their homes after evening. There were frequent fights between Hindus and Muslims, which we ended. There was no arrangement for treatment in hospitals, the roads were dilapidated.
The condition of education was not good. Patients did not get medicines in hospitals. When the people of Bihar gave us a chance to work, the situation of Bihar has changed. Development work is being done in every area. The atmosphere of fear and terror has ended in Bihar now. An atmosphere of peace and brotherhood prevails. Earlier, the condition of electricity in Bihar was very pathetic. There was almost no electricity in rural areas.
The Chief Minister said that since 2006, we have started the work of fencing graveyards. So far, more than 8 thousand graveyards have been fenced, 1273 more graveyards have been identified, out of which 746 graveyards have been fenced and the remaining graveyards are being fenced. We saw that incidents of idol theft are taking place from temples, in view of this, we decided to build boundary walls of temples older than 60 years so that incidents of theft do not take place in temples. We have not left any work unfinished. We are getting a lot of support from the Central Government as well. Many development works are also being done with the support of the Central Government. It was the revered Atal Bihari Vajpayee who made me the Chief Minister.
