PANJIM: In a bid to reduce the financial burden on the exchequer, Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar on Tuesday asked all department heads to hire vehicles instead of buying new ones. In a meeting with all Head of Departments at the Secretariat, Parrikar also asked them to devote time for the Swachh Bharat campaign.
According to sources, the chief minister asked HoDs to refrain from buying new vehicles. “Instead, the CM has asked to hire vehicles as this would have no cost on salaries of drivers and maintenance of vehicles,” the source added.
On Swachh Bharat and cleanliness, every officer has been asked to devote 2 to 3 hours every week for cleanliness in his department.
