Chief Minister Sai reiterated the state government’s commitment to enhancing transparency and accountability within the revenue administration. He asserted that an efficient governance system necessitates the timely delivery of justice to the public. Therefore, he instructed every official to ensure that cases are resolved without any delays and in a just manner.
