“I will personally review your performance every three months,”

Revanth Reddy said to the Secretaries of different departments during a meeting with them here on Tuesday.

Irrespective of the action plan framed by the government, officials’ cooperation was essential. Without coordination between departments and among departmental officials, results could not be achieved, he stressed.

A mechanism must be established to ensure coordination between departments on matters of development, he suggested.

Meanwhile, instructions were issued to the Secretaries to submit complete details of regular, outsourced, and contract employees in their respective departments to the Chief Secretary by January 26.

All the Heads of Departments (HODs) of the concerned departments should verify whether outsourced employees are receiving their salaries and EPF & ESI benefits, he said.

The Chief Minister also stated that the government had decided to stop operating government offices from rented buildings.

“Government offices currently operating in rented buildings must vacate them and move into government buildings by January 26,” Revanth Reddy said.
