“Our citizens – our priority. Foundation stone for the construction of a new assembly building, Raj Bhavan, Chief Minister’s residence, residence of ministers and senior officials, and a new circuit house was laid before the start of Corona. Today, all these construction works have been stopped in these times of crisis,” Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel tweeted.
