The statement said Sonowal reviewed key reforms and ongoing projects of the Ministry of Ports, Shipping & Waterways (MoPSW), and took stock of ongoing reforms and major infrastructure projects. He also underlined the importance of creating awareness among people about the on-ground impact of reforms, particularly for coastal communities dependent on fishing and allied economic activities, as well as for riverine communities along the banks of major waterways, which have benefited from infrastructure such as jetties and pontoons.     Reviewing the status of all major ongoing projects, Sonowal reiterated that timely realisation of targets must remain non-negotiable, directing officials to avoid delays in project execution.
