Tall claims exposed
20/05/2017
The non-adherence to the repeated directives of Chief Minister has exposed the tall claims about providing responsive administration to the people. Majority of the Deputy Commissioners have not been conducting mandatory field visits and their conduct has been taken seriously by the higher authorities, despite repeated directions from the Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti about making administration responsive to the needs of the people Chief Minister has been laying thrust on reaching out to the people particularly in the rural areas to resolve their issues on the spot. She has explicitly told the heads of the civil administration in each district to make field visits a part of their routine duty. It has been made mandatory for all the Deputy Commissioners to pay field visits at least twice a week so as to assess the grievances of the people at their door steps and resolve on the spot.
However, it has been noticed with serious concern by the higher authorities that either Deputy Commissioners have not been conducting mandatory field visits or not submitting tour diaries and work done statements to the Divisional Commissioners.
Divisional Commissioner Jammu Dr Mandeep K Bhandari vide communication dated May 15, 2017 has conveyed his serious concern over the issue to all the Deputy Commissioners of Jammu province. Divisional Commissioner Kashmir has also conveyed similar concern to the Deputy Commissioners of Kashmir valley with the direction for ensuring strict compliance to mandatory field visits and submission of reports.
