• Assures time-bound redressal; directs for regular field visits by officers

KATHUA: Deputy Commissioner Kathua Rajesh Sharma today convened a Public Grievances Redressal Camp at Panchayat Mangloor East in Block Dinga Amb to listen to and address the issues and concerns of the local populace.

A large number of locals participated in the grievance redressal camp. They projected several demands concerning infrastructure development, improvement of public services delivery and other matters of public importance. They sought expeditious resolution of civic and developmental concerns, besides implementation of government schemes and projects in the area.

The DC patiently listened to the grievances and directed the concerned officers to take prompt action for the redressal of the same. He also instructed officers to undertake field visits at least once or twice a week to monitor developmental works and maintain close interaction with the public.

Regarding the demand for a playground, the Deputy Commissioner informed that the matter has already been taken up with the Sports Council. He further announced that a registration-cum-awareness camp on the government welfare schemes would be organized in the block on coming Wednesday to facilitate public outreach and service delivery.

The Deputy Commissioner also appealed to the people to actively support the District Administration's 100-Day Nasha Mukht Campaign and contribute towards making society drug-free, particularly by safeguarding the youth from the menace of substance abuse.

The concerned district and sectoral officers assured the public that the genuine issues raised during the camp would be addressed on priority. Among others, ADC Mahima Madan, SDM Phulail Singh, CPO Ranjeet Thakur, IAS Probationer Nidhi, ACD Akhil Sadotra and other district officers were present on the occasion.
