Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath ordered action against 73 officers who failed to resolve people’s problems and were slow in implementing his directive.
A senior official told The Pioneer on Thursday that Yogi took action against the officers found indulging in obstruction of justice. “Notices have been issued to 73 officers who performed the worst in resolving people’s problems. The action was suggested when they failed to give satisfactory answers,” the official said.
Among the officers who have been issued notices are 10 departmental heads, five commissioners, 10 DMs, five vice-chairmen of the development authorities, five municipal commissioners, and 10 tehsil officials. Besides, the official said that clarification was sought from three ADGs, five IGs and DIGs, the heads of three police commissionerates, SSPs and SPs, and the heads of 10 police stations. Yogi had earlier ordered officials concerned to submit a report on the complaints received, resolved along with action taken under Thana/Tehsil Diwas. In the directive, he had said that resolving every grievance was the utmost priority of the government.
“The CM had asked the officials to submit a detailed report regarding complaints received, resolved, and pending cases on the Integrated Grievance Redressal System (IGRS), tehsils and police stations without delay. Those who failed to do so were punished,” the official said.
