Taking the delay in making of caste and domicile certificates seriously, Chief Secretary Dr DK Tiwari today instructed all Deputy Commissioners to gather reports from regional officers and employees and dispose of the work by authorised officers at the earliest. Holding a Video Conferencing with DCs and SPs of all districts here on Thursday, the CS asked to take work from other employees where there is crisis of staff.
In order to carry out Durga Puja peacefully, Tiwari instructed the DCs and SPs of all the districts of the State to maintain special vigil during this period. “Maintain law and order and keep special preparation, taking lessons from previous events.
Remain extra vigilant especially in Ranchi, Hazaribagh, Palamu, Giridih and Jamshedpur districts. Many times such incidents come up that during the pujotsav, the thieves target the houses of the people who have gone to visit the pandals by locking their houses. He instructed to keep an eye on such houses also. At the same time, once again reiterated that strictly prohibit the movement of VIPs and officers to Pooja pandals and make their vehicles also stand in the designated parking lot,” he said. The CS instructed to keep special focus during Ravana Dahan to maintain law and order during the Pujotsava and to keep a special focus on crowd control during idol immersion. He said that apart from barricading, the movement of people for crowd control should be kept separate. Police forces should also accompany the immersion procession. At the same time, strengthen the security system by coordinating with the people already there at sensitive places. He said that even if normal stress comes from somewhere, end it in time. Also, during the pujotsav, keep the health service and fire service in order to deal with the emergency.
DGP Kamal Nayan Choubey said that all the preparations are for difficult times. Try not to become such a situation. He directed to monitor the WhatsApp groups while working on a strategy to eliminate the rumours in time. Referring to such commendable efforts made in the past by Ranchi district administration, he asked all the SPs to adopt it.
Till October 2, a total of 26,000 kg plastic waste has been deposited with the participation of the people of the State. Continuing this connection, the CS has now directed to focus on its disposal. He informed that its work has also started from October 3 through pollution control board. This campaign will run till 27 October.
On the occasion, Development Commissioner Sukhdev Singh said that if any Deputy Commissioner gives an innovative idea to discourage the use of plastics and to change the behaviour of people, then the State Government will encourage it. If a district becomes plastic-free, the State government will also honour the Deputy Commissioner there.
Stressing on the need for continuous monitoring of the mid-day meal scheme, the Chief Secretary directed to hold a regular meeting of the Steering Committee for this. He also directed to keep an eye on the attendance of children in schools and the midday meal figures. He said that children and teachers should not be associated with activities other than education.
