In Jammu and Kashmir, the Administration has asked its Secretaries to hold Public Grievances Redressal Camps four days in a month- a move aimed at furthering the outreach mechanism in the Union Territory.
The endeavour, as per an order issued by the UT’s General Administration Department (GAD), is to reach out to the common masses to address their grievances. The Administrative Secretaries having vast experience of administration would make all their efforts to solve issues and problems faced by people.
Besides, the Secretaries will also visit a district assigned to them once a month for public hearings, the GAD order said. The move will make top UT bureaucracy available to people, which in turn will bring more transparency, efficiency and accountability in governance.
The PWD Guest House in Jammu and Banquet Hall in Srinagar will be the venues of every public hearing for and the meeting timings in both Jammu and Srinagar will be from 10 A.M. to 4 P.M.
