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.
