Redress people’s grievances swiftly: CM
Chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday said grievance redressal must be both result-oriented and people-centric. The chief minister made the remarks at a Janata Darshan programme at the Gorakhnath temple where he met around 200 people and heard their problems and instructed officials to ensure quick and satisfactory resolution of all grievances.
“The satisfaction should be visible on the complainants’ faces after their problems are resolved,” the CM said. Many people, including women, raised issues related to land disputes and illegal encroachments.
The chief minister took serious note and directed officials to take swift and strict action. For those seeking financial assistance for treatment of serious illnesses, Yogi assured them that lack of money would not hinder anyone’s medical care.
He instructed the administration to expedite the preparation of cost estimates for patients concerned and submit them to the government immediately so that funds could be released without delay.
