The Sarkar Gaon Ke Dwar programme, a government initiative aimed at providing an effective platform for resolving public grievances, was organised today at Gram Panchayat Maihla under the chairmanship of Vidhan Sabha Speaker Kuldeep Singh Pathania.
Residents from Gram Panchayats Maihla, Chadi, Phagri, Bandla, Dadhvi, and Vakan participated, presenting their issues and demands. The event witnessed the presence of MLA Neeraj Nayyar, Dr. Jankraj, and several senior officials.
Around 400 people attended the programme, registering complaints and demands, while also benefiting from departmental exhibitions and services. Speaker Pathania interacted directly with the public, resolving many issues on the spot. He emphasized that the programme not only ensures quick redressal of grievances at the local level but also helps the government understand the region’s needs.
He highlighted that under the leadership of Chief Minister Thakur Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, the state government has ensured transparent and effective arrangements, making this initiative distinct from programmes of previous governments.
