Chandigarh: Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Monday asked the Deputy Commissioners to regularly convene outdoor meetings in the field especially in villages to ensure on the spot redressal of people’s grievances to their satisfaction.
Chairing a meeting of the Deputy Commissioners here at Punjab Bhawan this morning, Bhagwant Mann asked them to organize special camps along with their team of officials in a particular village or town at their doorsteps for prompt resolution of pending issues or problems faced by the general public in a result oriented manner.
Terming the DCs as eyes and ears of state administration, Bhagwant Mann said, “You are the real face of the government because people have direct interface with you rather than us (government) as they repose unflinching trust and confidence in you”. He also urged them to conduct surprise checks at the Saanjh Kendras as these centres have been primarily set up for the convenience of public and asked them to provide citizen centric services seamlessly.
In recognition of the best performance of Divisional Commissioners, DCs, SSPs, SDMs and other field officials, Bhagwant Mann also announced to honour such officers/officials with the ‘Best Performing Award’ to further motivate them to serve the people with missionary zeal.
