Bandipora, May 13: The Deputy Commissioner Bandipora, Indu Kanwal Chib, on Wednesday chaired a Mega Block Diwas programme at Markundal Naidkhai, where she reviewed the status of developmental activities and heard a wide range of public grievances and concerns projected by the residents of the area.
The programme was attended by SDM Sumbal, ACD, ACP, CMO, CEO, CAHO, CHO, CAO, ARTO, Executive Engineers of various departments, Tehsildar Hajin, and a large gathering of public representatives and concerned officers.
During the interaction session, residents raised issues pertaining to road connectivity, macadamisation, desilting, drinking water supply, sanitation, irrigation, education infrastructure, waste management, ration cards, social welfare schemes, and other developmental concerns.
The Deputy Commissioner assured the public that all genuine demands and grievances would be addressed in a phased and time-bound manner, and directed concerned officers to initiate necessary action on priority.
The DC further directed the concerned departments to improve civic amenities, strengthen sanitation and waste management measures, and ensure more effective public service delivery in the area.
Emphasising the importance of public participation, the Deputy Commissioner noted that challenges such as waste management and drug abuse cannot be addressed by the government alone, and urged citizens to extend full cooperation in maintaining cleanliness and fostering social awareness.
The Deputy Commissioner also directed concerned departments to conduct field surveys and submit reports on road conditions, water stagnation, irrigation deficiencies, and other infrastructural requirements in the area.
Directing the Agriculture Department Bandipora to organise a special camp for resolution of issues related to PM-KISAN beneficiaries, the Deputy Commissioner also made clear that encroachments on irrigation canals would not be tolerated and that such structures would be demolished without exception.
Residents and participants expressed appreciation to the Deputy Commissioner for conducting the Block Diwas and for personally and patiently engaging with the concerns of the people.
