As per the directive of the Chief Minister's directive to the Road Construction Department, the Road Construction Department officials have started preparing  for a comprehensive and updated database of all projects and adopted geo-tagging mandatory. 

Geotagging is the process of adding location-based metadata—such as latitude and longitude coordinates, altitude, and place names—to digital media like photographs, videos, and social media posts.

Soren is on record saying that every project should have clearly documented details regarding cost, progress, timelines, and current status to enable effective monitoring. 

According to Soren, geo-tagging would enhance transparency, strengthen supervision and improve accountability. Officials were also asked to identify problems promptly and ensure swift resolution of public complaints.

Referring to reports received through social media and the print and electronic media about damaged roads, potholes, waterlogging and irregularities in construction works, Soren instructed officials to take immediate corrective measures. 

He has always stressed that road repairs, proper drainage and maintenance should receive special attention during the monsoon season to prevent accidents. He also called for widening and strengthening narrow roads to improve traffic safety.

The Chief Minister expressed concern over several road, flyover and bridge projects that have remained pending for years, causing inconvenience to the public. He directed officials to expedite all ongoing works, particularly major projects in Ranchi and other parts of the state, and complete priority projects within the next two months. Failure to meet the deadline, he warned, would result in strict action against the officials and executing agencies responsible.

Soren also reviewed the progress of the Solar Cycle Track and other infrastructure initiatives, directing officials to ensure durability, quality and timely execution. He emphasized strengthening bridge approaches, improving drainage systems and adhering to prescribed engineering standards in all construction works.
