In a stern reminder to top bureaucrats during Tuesday's Pragati meeting, Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed concerns over recurring quality issues in public projects. He questioned whether the current practice of third-party audits was effective and hinted at the possibility of implementing fourth-party audits. The PM reviewed six infrastructure projects worth over Rs 30,000 crore across railway, road, and power sectors, highlighting the need for comprehensive monitoring rather than piecemeal approaches. He emphasized the importance of combining speedy execution with unwavering quality standards, urging ministries, states, and implementing agencies to adopt modern technologies and strengthen quality assurance mechanisms. During the review, Modi pointed out the necessity of matching power generation with adequate transmission capacity, likening it to building dams without laying canals. The PM also addressed cyber fraud cases, stressing the importance of prevention through training, awareness, and education. He called for continuous public-awareness campaigns, capacity-building of personnel, and swift action against emerging modes of cyber fraud. Home secretary Govind Mohan presented an update on the progress and initiatives undertaken by 20 states to combat these cases.
