The bureaucracy, which has been ruling the roost and playing a key role in Manohar lal Khattar led Haryana Government, would soon be made accountable for various development works.
To making bureaucracy performance-oriented, accountable and more efficient, Chief Minister Manohar lal has now entrusted the officials in his office with a task to conduct field surveys in the State to review performance of bureaucrats besides evaluating the implementation of various Government schemes at grassroot level in Haryana.
The officials in the CMO have been directed to carry out three days field survey in various parts of the State every month and accordingly, submit a report on this. The move is also aimed at connecting with the people of the State.
The CM direction’s also comes after the allegations of BJP MlAs and opposition that the bureaucrats in the State do not listen to them and benefits of several schemes are not reaching to the people of the State. Several MlAs have also alleged that bureaucrats are insensitive to people’s woes.
Notably, the BJP led State Government will complete its two years tenure in October this year. The 62-year-old Manohar lal Khattar had taken oath as the first Chief Minister of the BJP Government in the State on October 26 in 2014.
The BJP led Haryana Government is considered to be “soft” on bureaucracy and with “babus” calling the shots in the State, several pro-people schemes launched by the Government is yet to make an impact in the State.
Haryana Minister Krishan Kumar Bedi while talking to the mediapersons on Monday said that the CM’s directions are aimed to ensure transparency and corruption free Government in the State.
He said that the State Government will soon complete its two years tenure and have been working to ensure overall development in the State. For this, several schemes and projects have been launched, said the Minister.
The Government has also released grants to the district authorities for various projects related to road, water supply among others. The implementation of such development projects need to be reviewed and accordingly, a decision has been taken to send officials to examine the ground reality, he added.
