Once again, only four complainants turned up at Punjab Governor and UT Administrator Shivraj Patil’s much-hyped Public Hearing Session. This is for the third consecutive time, when the session saw only four complainants.
The session held on Monday lasted for about 20 minutes only. Out of the five listed complainants, only four complainants turned up for redressal of their grievances.
A complainant Maninder Kaur complained against a UT Sub-Inspector posted in Women Cell for alleged inaction in a dowry case.
The complainant alleged that her husband and in-laws demanded dowry, tortured her and poisoned her. It was told that upon enquiry, the allegation of slow poisoning could not be proved, in view of the medical record given by the complainant.
To this, Patil said that if there is a certification that Maninder was poisoned, necessary action would be initiated. To complainant Ajay Kumar’s plea of according permission for erecting an illuminated lED display screen for commercial advertisement at Neelam cinema Sector-17, Patil asked the concerned officials to look into the case as per rules and intimate the party about the possibility of request being accepted.
A complainant Vijay Kumar Gupta sought the execution of Conveyance Deed (transfer of ownership) for his house that was allotted to him under a Chandigarh Housing Board scheme.
To this, Patil said that it is a legal matter and the case will be examined in detail.
The last complaint was from Pooja Sharma and others from Manimajara whose concern was demolition of houses of Pocket No. 7, 8 and 11.
Regarding this, Patil asked concerned officials to re-look into the matter and see that all are given justice.
