She told officials to make the property sale deed registration process simple, digital and transparent, ensuring people are relieved from paperwork and middlemen.

The district magistrates were instructed to intensify inspections in slums to ensure the provision of basic amenities. They were directed to submit progress reports of developmental work every 15 days.
