Banerjee, in the presence of locals, asked District Magistrate Sharad Dwivedi to make arrangements to bring the garments to the venue at the earliest.
"I've brought 15,000 winter garments, blankets for locals. Where have you kept them? Bring them to me immediately. I’ll not continue with the programme till you get those… I’ll wait here," Banerjee told Dwivedi.
The CM also warned the DM, and other officials of stern action for such lapses. "I'm sorry, but I'll have to take action in case the DM and block development officers don't carry out their responsibilities properly," she added.
Around 15 minutes later, bunches of shawls were brought to the venue.
