Chief Minister Hemant Soren today gave a clarion call to the people not to tolerate corruption and pay the bribe silently even as the State braced up to witness a fortnight long statehood celebrations, beginning from Birsa Munda Football stadium on Friday. The day also coincides with the birth anniversary of the tribal iconic leader Birsa Munda.
The celebrations, which will be held in every district seeks to showcase the development taking place in the State and also making the public aware of the various schemes being carried out by State Government. The Chief Minister also appealed to the mass to communicate with block representatives, officers and employees to avail the benefits of Government run schemes. He also mentioned that a person can contact the concerned deputy commissioner in case he or she fails to get justice related to such schemes at block level.
Despite this, if a person is unable to get justice, he or she can directly approach the CM public grievances cell located at CM secretariat in Kanke road. Taking a step ahead, the Chief Minister will be laying the foundation of 13 schemes online. Some of these schemes are Chanho block's Nursing Training Centre, 50 bedded hostel, Shravan Kumar old age home and SS High School at Ormanjhi block.
