New Delhi [India], July 30 (HBTV): Reaffirming that maintaining and enhancing the cleanliness of Gurugram is a top priority of the Haryana Government, Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini has emphasized the vital role of municipal councillors in the Swachhata (cleanliness) campaign. He urged councillors to work in coordination with civic body officers to strengthen the city’s sanitation system.

The Chief Minister assured that there would be no shortage of resources at the state level. He directed councillors to immediately inform him telephonically if any officer displayed negligence in resolving public issues.

Saini made these remarks while chairing a meeting of the District Public Relations and Grievance Redressal Committee in Gurugram. Industries and Commerce Minister Rao Narbir Singh was also present during the meeting.

A total of 18 complaints were presented at the meeting, of which 15 were resolved by the Chief Minister. He instructed that the remaining three matters be kept pending until the next meeting and asked the concerned officers to submit a status report then.

The Chief Minister personally contacted complainants who were unable to attend but whose grievances had been addressed. He spoke to each of them over the phone to review the status of their cases and ensure their satisfaction with the actions taken.

During the meeting, Advocate Ravindra Jain, a former member of the District Public Relations and Grievance Committee, highlighted a persistent issue regarding the removal of accumulated garbage near the Jain Temple in Sadar Bazar. Expressing displeasure with the functioning of the municipal staff, the Chief Minister directed that action be taken against the concerned sanitary inspector.

A complaint from Bahora Kalan village was presented, in which it was reported that a government road leading to the cremation ground had been encroached upon, causing inconvenience to villagers. The Chief Minister instructed the Block Development Officer to immediately conduct a survey of the path. If encroachment was confirmed, he ordered that legal action be taken.

Another complainant from Jacobpura raised the issue of persistent waterlogging due to sewer overflow in his ward, despite repeated complaints to the Municipal Corporation. The Chief Minister directed the Municipal Commissioner to take necessary steps to resolve the issue. He reiterated that public grievances must not be ignored at any level and that officers should act promptly to provide relief to citizens.
