During a review meeting, the CM expressed her displeasure over the progress of the project. “I will not tolerate if people face any problem. If someone compromises on this, they will lose their job.” She ordered a weekly review meeting on the project.

A report was submitted to the CM by the Public Health Engineering (PHE) Department on the delivery of drinking water pipelines.

After looking into the report, Banerjee said that “many people are cutting pipelines to use them for personal purpose. As a result, water does not reach households. It is criminal. I will not spare anyone. In many cases even as the pipelines reach villages, there is no water since the contractors hastily installed them without conducting a survey. In some cases, wrong tenders are floated, in others wrong DPRs are prepared.”
