Bhubaneswar: Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Tuesday reviewed the public grievance redressal programmes organised by his office at the district levels.

Chief Secretary PK Jena apprised the Chief Minister of the action being taken on the petitions received from the public during the district visits of chief minister’s office (CMO). The department level review has been done to resolve the issues on priority.

Joining the meeting through video-conference from Dhenkanal, secretary to CM (5T) VK Pandian said more than 18,000 petitions have been received during the programmes in various districts. Some of the issues of Angul district were discussed and the Chief Minister directed to take immediate action.

The Chief Minister said, “Public grievance redressal is an important priority for me. I want the departments and district administration to deal with the grievances sensitively and expeditiously. That’s why I have sent the CMO to meet people and hear their grievances. Our officials have been visiting the districts and even block levels to conduct the public grievance redressal meetings. More than 18,000 petitions have been received in these decentralised public grievance meetings.”

“I expect all the departments to address the grievances on priority at the earliest,” he added.

Naveen further said that Grievance Redressal will be taken up under ‘Mo Sarkar’ to assess the redressal process of public grievances. The CMO will make calls to people from next month to understand how their grievances are being redressed.

“To honour the contribution of Pabitra Mohan Pradhan towards India’s freedom struggle and development of Odisha, we will build a memorial in Pabitranagar. A medical college to be named after him will be operational by October. The bridge being constructed on river Brahmani in Kaniha will also be named after the great soul,” he said.

Following decisions related to Angul district were taken at the meeting:

  • The CHC in Chendipada is included in the AMA hospital.
  • The Fire station at Bantala and Satkoshia Eco-Tourism site will be opened soon.
  • Two multipurpose flood shelters sanctioned for Kudagaon (Athamallik tehsil) and Tikarpada (Angul tehsil) at Rs 2.64 crore each.
  • Execution of three bridges in Pallahara block with a cost of Rs 15.85 crore
  • Execution of three road projects worth Rs 76.39 crore

Besides, the Chief Minister sanctioned Rs 4.65 crore to mitigate the impact of man-elephant conflict in the district. The fund will be utilised for various mitigation measures such as 41-km solar fencing, 20-km elephant proof trench, installation of 43 high mast lights and 10 bio-acoustic devices. The scheme will be implemented in 43 most vulnerable villages in a year’s time.
