He said the State Development Office reported that all the projects had been carried out smoothly, involving around 70 to 80 contractors.

"The state has successfully achieved its target to have toilets in 169 schools repaired. Congratulations to the contractors who fulfilled this responsibility excellently,” he told reporters after chairing the State Executive Council meeting here today.
