He wanted from the district committee to accomplish the projects in a time -bound manner without jeopardy.

“The meeting was fruitful and it chiefly centred round the initiatives and ways and means to make it a powerful and potent device of participative governance,” said Mr Gao during a media briefing after the meeting.
