Bhopal: Chief Minister Kamal Nath said that action taken against officers-employees for negligence in matters of public welfare should be publicized so that common man come to know about it and also to give a lesson to other negligent officers. He further mentioned that complaints and problems received under the current system should be redressed hundred percent.

The Chief Minister was addressing the Collectors in Janadhikar programme through video conferencing at Mantralaya on Tuesday. He resolved problems of 12 people of 10 districts. He asked beneficiaries how much time it took between registration of complaints and their redressal and where delay is caused. He told the collectors that they should stop the culture of redressal only when complaints are received. They should make a service providing mechanism in districts to ensure decline in complaints constantly. He mentioned that accountability of officials involved in delay should be fixed and a booklet on action taken against them should be prepared, so that they should come to know about their responsibilities.

Nath expressed discontentment for not providing the amount of drought relief of the year 2017 to a farmer Deendayal Gupta of Tikamgarh. On asking Collector in this matter, he informed that an amount of Rs 55 lakh of 3325 farmers is due in the district.
