He appealed to the village panchayat representatives to be aware of the government schemes and monitor their implementation. If there were any shortcomings, they should bring it to the notice of the district officials.

He assured them that prompt action would be taken if they reported any shortcoming in the supply of essential commodities through the public distribution system.
