Setting a week’s deadline to resolve the issues raised by the people, Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Badal on Wednesday directed the senior police officers to ensure speedy and timely settlement of grievances highlighted during his Sangat Darshan programmes.
“The pendency should not be more than a week,” said Sukhbir while listening to the grievances of the people during Sangat Darshan program held at Punjab Bhawan.
He said that SAD-BJP Government had taken rigorous corrective measures to ensure crime-free environment in Punjab. “The State police administration has been directed to make sure that there should not be any pendency in cases once brought to his notice,” he added.
Sukhbir asked Principal Secretary PS Aujla to personally look into pendency of such complaints and submit the status report to him in next week’s Sangat Darshan.
To resolve the grievances of Punjabis living in and around New Delhi, Sukhbir announced that similar Sangat Darshan would be held in Punjab Bhawan in Delhi on every Saturday.
Terming the Sangat Darshan program as a fruitful exercise, he said that people were highly benefited from this move as they were able to get their pending issues resolved immediately.
Sukhbir also assured the sportspersons to give them Government jobs and reiterated that the State Government would provide jobs to medal winner sportspersons who have exhibited extraordinary talent in various national and international sports events.
Meeting a delegation from Haryana urging Deputy Chief Minister to trace their ward belonging to Hisar, a driver by profession who was reportedly missing since June 18 from lalru, Sukhbir sought a detailed report from the DGP Crime and asked him to resolve the case at the earliest.
On the issue of transfers in various departments, Sukhbir said that there would be no transfers in the State as the last date fixed for transfers has lapsed and no transfer would be made during this session.
“The Government is in the process of completing conscription process in all departments and very soon unemployed youth would be recruited in various departments,” he added. During Sangat Darshan, more than 840 people across the State met the Deputy Chief Minister to redress their grievances and issues.
