Bansal held hearing of public complaints and applications. Kalapathak team of Panchayat and Social Welfare Department performed a Bhajan and singing programme based on the programme run by the State Government for the betterment of education, literacy, de-addiction and differently-abled persons.
Addressing the camp, the Collector said that it was the intention of the Government that district administration officers should go to remote villages and hear the problems and complaints of residents there, so that the villagers may not wander here and there. With this objective, two district level camps have been organised in villages on a regular basis in each month.
On seeing a large number of pension related applications, the Collector directed CEO Janpad Panchayat GS Dhurve to hold special camps for pension in Khamhar and Jobi villages within a week. He asked the Janpad President Tikaram Rathiya to get sanction of pension of eligible beneficiaries from Janpad Panchayat in these camps, so that they may get Rs 300 per month pension from the Government.
