Returning to work after 10 days away, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday took stock of all major projects of the AAP government during a review meeting with Ministers.

Mr. Kejriwal, who was in Maharashtra for a meditation course till Tuesday, reviewed the AAP government’s flagship projects, including the mohalla clinics project. He asked officials to “fast-track the next phase” of the project, which includes setting up the clinics at government schools, according to a government statement.

He also reviewed the functioning of the existing mohalla clinics and asked the Health Department to address any problems arising out of those by the end of the month. All the diagnostic tests that are supposed to be offered by the clinics should be started at the earliest and any shortage of doctors should be resolved, he said.

Reviewing the work of the Education Department, Mr. Kejriwal asked the officials to study the New Delhi Municipal Council’s project of installing CCTV cameras in schools. The Education Department said the blueprint for the plan to install CCTV cameras in all schools was being drafted and the work would start soon. As per the statement, the CM asked the Education Department to come up with a special campaign to aid students who are completing their studies through correspondence, having failed in the regular system.

In addition, the CM also asked for details of all social welfare schemes of the Social Welfare Department in order to review their implementation.
