Vidarbha’s increasing road backlogs,  development of Adivasi areas and problems faced by schools in Maharashtra were some of the other issues Dr Darda raised during his discussion with the governor

Slums are coming up in major cities of the State and unless a proper rehabilitation programme is initiated, the problem of slum-dwellers and the issue of new slums coming up will not be solved, Dr Darda told the governor.

The recent unfortunate happenings of crime against women and also some disturbing incidents taking place in some schools in the State also came up for discussion during the meeting. The governor gave a patient hearing to Dr Darda and assured him that he would study the issues and come up with remedial measures.
