The Governor’s grievance cell has received 35,322 grievances of which 34,313 have been forwarded to concerned authorities for the redressal, a local news agency KNS reported on Wednesday.
Quoting an official the news agency said that highest number of complaints have been received against Public Works department, followed by Service Selection Board, Public Health Engineering, and Police department. “There are complaints about corruption and embezzlement of funds in these departments,” the official claimed.
A lot of complaints have also been received against lack of electricity in various areas. Most of the complainants say that they witness frequent power cuts and the Power Development Department is not adhering to its power curtailment schedule.
“It has, however, been observed that notwithstanding the instructions issued for the disposal of grievances from time to time, certain departments/offices furnish the action taken report/response to the Governor’s grievance cell or Governor’s secretariat belatedly thereby defeating the concept of prompt service delivery and grievance redressal which are a sine qua non of the mission good governance-mission delivering development,” news agency quoted a government communiqué as having said.
