If the site clearance is blocked and resettlement is problematic, the work will be stuck, " the Prime Minister emphasized and requested ministries, branches and localities to focus maximum resources, remove all bottlenecks and bottlenecks, overcome difficulties and challenges to complete assigned tasks.
