Rule of law should prevail in the state and the public should benefit from it directly: Chief Minister

Patna: Chief Minister Smarat Choudhary inaugurated a one-day workshop and review meeting with district magistrates and superintendents of police from all districts of the state at the Convention Hall on Thursday. Addressing the workshop, the Chief Minister said that it is our priority to maintain the rule of law in the state and ensure that the public benefits directly from it.

The Chief Minister said that good governance can only be established when its results reach the people in a timely manner. No compromise will be made with crime and corruption. The concept of good governance must be established among the public. Anyone coming from outside Bihar should see the impact of good governance.

He said that the government is providing all possible facilities to those who come to set up industries in Bihar. A target of Rs 5 lakh crore investment in the state has been set by November 20. If the district magistrate and superintendent of police personally guarantee security and facilities to any industrialist in their district, the industrialist will be fully committed to setting up and expanding their industry. If the district magistrate and superintendent of police in any district perform well, public representatives receive fewer cases related to public issues. The public benefits directly from the good work of the district magistrate and superintendent of police.

The Chief Minister said that there should be no laxity in the protection of girls and women. The concept of Police Didi has been introduced and it should be implemented effectively. Ensure that girls come to and go from school safely. The incident of an executive officer being involved in Bhagalpur is unfortunate. They bravely confronted the criminals and sacrificed their lives. The state government is providing financial assistance of Rs 25 lakh to their dependents.

He said that former Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had implemented the prohibition law. Work better to ensure the successful implementation of the liquor ban. Take strict action against those who sell liquor. Completely eliminate the illegal business. He emphasized the development of model schools on the lines of Netrahata and Samtal Vidyalya. Work diligently to create model schools in all 533 blocks. Make the schools so unique that people are eager to send their children there. Degree colleges are being opened in all blocks. Ensure proper educational facilities there.

The Chief Minister said that we have set a target of providing employment to one crore people in the next five years. If we all work correctly, we can provide employment to five crore people.
