In a meeting with departmental officials, Singh highlighted the importance of adhering to Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to ensure prompt delivery of benefits through various welfare schemes. This decision follows his surprise inspections at district offices, during which numerous complaints were reported by beneficiaries.
