Chandigarh: Haryana Energy, Transport and Labour Minister Anil Vij today issued a stern warning to officials of all departments, directing them to ensure the prompt resolution of public grievances. He made it clear that unnecessary delays in resolving people’s complaints would not be tolerated and that he would not hesitate to take action against officials responsible for such delays.
While interacting with the officials during a public grievance hearing at the PWD Rest House in Ambala Cantonment, Anil Vij emphasised that people should not be forced to make repeated visits to government offices to get their genuine grievances addressed. He directed officials to ensure timely action and accountability in every case.
Taking strong exception to the matter, Anil Vij questioned the officials over the prolonged delay in recovering the outstanding property tax. Expressing surprise over the matter, he asked why the Municipal Council had failed to take timely action for nearly 17 years.
They further informed the Minister that a transformer had also been installed on these poles, creating a potential safety hazard for residents. Despite submitting complaints to the Electricity Department, no effective action had reportedly been taken.
