New Delhi, Jan 28 (IBNS):Taking strong exception at complaints and grievances from people, related to the customs and excise sector, Prime Minister Narndra Modi on Wednesday asked for strict action against responsible officials.

"In course of his review today, the Prime Minister reviewed the progress of vital infrastructure projects in the road, railway, coal, power and renewable energy sectors, spread over several states, including Maharashtra, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, and Rajasthan," the government said in a statement.
