    Along with law and order, aspects related to women's safety, police patrolling, child sexual abuse, problems of businessmen, action on gangsters, traffic management, efforts for revenue collection etc. should be reviewed during these visits, the chief minister said.
    If there is an aspirational development block in a district, then the minister concerned should review the situation continuously, he added.

    He added that a dinner of coarse grain dishes was organised at the chief minister's residence on Saturday.

    He said the Global Investors Summit will be held from February 10 to February 12 and all the districts of the state will be connected with the main function.
    "This will be the first time that investments will be made in all the 75 districts of the state simultaneously. The doors to immense possibilities will open for all the districts," the chief minister said.
