Collector Niranjan Das and Superintendent of Police Abhishek Pathak chose to travel in a motorcycle to visit interiors and even Naxal areas of Gariaband district on Wednesday, to conduct inspection of schools as well as meet people in different villages.
Both the officers moved through the villages for conducting inspection of schools and Anganwadi centers and taking feedback from the people. They eventually reached Amamora village about 78 km from district headquarters where the Collector held a 'Chaupal' to listen to the problems of the villagers.
The villagers were surprised to find the officers on a motorcycle but satisfied to find them visiting their villages. Some of the key issues raised by villagers were construction of a road between Dhawalpur and Amamora, a hospital in the village besides a well for drinking water.
The Collector said that the unemployed youths of the village will be provided training for skill development. He asked the Sarpanch of Amamora Gram Panchayat to provide list of unemployed youths.
The officials of the Health Department distributed free life saving medicines while officers of 65th Battalion CRPF distributed school bags and stationary items among the students on the occasion.
