The administration, he said, is working to ensure long-term sustainability in water resources.

The Chief Minister also подчеркнул the importance of timely execution of projects, stating that the government is closely monitoring progress to ensure that investment commitments are fulfilled efficiently. He added that coordination between departments and stakeholders is being strengthened to facilitate smoother implementation.
