Officials listen to public grievances at night-stay programme in Rohtak

The district administration organised a night-stay programme in Kahnaur village on Wednesday, where officials listened to public grievances.

Deputy Commissioner (DC) Narendra Kumar and Superintendent of Police (SP) Narendra Bijarnia, along with other district officials, attended the event.

During the programme, the DC stated that following the state government instructions, "samadhan shivirs" were being organised at the district headquarters, sub-divisional levels and at the Municipal Corporation office to address public grievances on the spot.

He urged villagers to take an active role in rural development, emphasising, “Every person should contribute in the development of his/her village. It is our responsibility to keep the village clean and prevent dirt from accumulating in our surroundings.”

SP Narendra Bijarnia highlighted the urgent need to combat the rising trend of drug use among youth. He stressed that both administration and the public must work together to address this issue. “If you have any information about someone selling drugs in the village, report it to the police or district administration promptly so that timely action can be taken. Parents should also monitor their children and explain that drug addiction can destroy their health and future. It poses a serious threat to society and the nation,” he said.

The SP encouraged villagers to motivate their children to engage in sports alongside their studies. He also appealed to the villagers to inform the police on getting information about any suspicious individuals, assuring that the identities of informers would be kept confidential. Earlier, officials were welcomed with garlands by local gram panchayat members.

Among the prominent officials present on the occasion were Rohtak SDM Ashish Kumar, Civil Surgeon Dr. Ramesh Chandra, DDPO Rajpal Chahal, Naib Tehsildar Deepak Kumar, and Executive Engineer (Irrigation) Arun Munjal.
