CJM inspects legal aid clinics in Morni area
Orders shifting of clinic and infrastructure upgrades at Bhoj Jabyal village
Ajay Kumar, CJM-cum-Secretary, District Legal Services Authority (DLSA), Panchkula, conducted an inspection of the legal aid clinics in the Morni area to review their infrastructure, accessibility and effectiveness in delivering free legal services at the grassroots level.
During his visit to the clinic at Bhoj Jabyal village, he interacted with villagers in the presence of sarpanch Kajal and inquired about the availability of legal assistance. The clinic was found to be operating from the Anganwadi Centre, which the CJM observed was not easily accessible due to limited public footfall. He directed that the clinic be shifted to the Primary Health Centre (PHC), Bhoj Jabyal village, citing better accessibility and visibility.
Instructions were issued to the Chief Medical Officer’s office to provide adequate space and basic facilities at the PHC. The clinic would function every Sunday with a panel advocate and a para-legal volunteer in attendance. The District Development and Panchayats Officer was asked to conduct public announcements to raise awareness.
At Bhogpur village, he ordered installation of proper signboards to improve visibility of the clinic.
