Panchayat officials told to ensure removal of encroachment in villages
Local officials at the Panchayat Department have been directed to ensure the removal of encroachments from shamlat/government land and streets in rural areas as per norms after getting their demarcation done.
The directions were issued by Additional Deputy Commissioner (ADC) Narendra Kumar while acting on the complaints regarding the encroachments over the panchayat land in the villages. He also asked the officials to ensure that all main sewer halls were covered in the city.
While hearing the public grievances at the Samadhan Shivir, the ADC said all senior officials should ensure that the citizen coming to their office were treated well and guided properly. If any such complaint was received against any employee, strict action would be taken.
Acting on the complaint by a resident, Murari Lal, regarding the annual income in his privar pehchan patra (PPP), the ADC assured him of resolving his complaint by Thursday. He also instructed the officials to make a wheelchair available on the ground floor of the Zila Vikas Bhawan so that any disabled or other persons who were unable to walk did not face any inconvenience.
“Errors related to the PPP should be corrected as soon as possible because many schemes of the Central and state governments are linked with the PPP. If there is any kind of error in someone's identity card like name etc., then the needy and eligible person may be deprived of various types of government schemes. In such a situation, the complaints related to the PPP should be resolved as soon as possible in a timely manner,” said the ADC.
Narendra said the main objective of holding the Samadhan camp was to redress the public grievances on the spot under one roof. While reviewing the settlement of the complaints received at the Samadhan camp, the ADC also issued necessary instructions to the officials related to the pending complaints.
