SRINAGAR: About 300 persons attended the public grievances redressal camp hosted by the Director General of Police (DGP) RR Swain at Police headquarters on Saturday.
Pertinently, DGP Swain commenced a weekly public grievance programme in Jammu and Kashmir a month ago, being held on Saturdays.
Ali Muhammad, who turned up at Police Headquarters here, said that such programmes are a must to bring respite to the people and also bridge a gap between the administration and general public.
“It could have taken me months to get a meeting fixed with the DGP to seek redressal of my grievance, but this programme has brought a platform for the people to seek the intervention of top authorities to get their issues resolved within a shortest possible time,” he said.
Ali Muhammad had visited the public darbaar with his ward’s complaints who pursued MBBS in Pakistan. He said that the future of these MBBS students in jeopardy and that they were now turning to the government for assistance in resolving their problems.
Similarly, Bashir Ahmad, accompanying him echoed similar views stating that such events are the need of the hour as meeting of a common man with the top officials will not only help them to get their issues resolved but also bridge a gap between the people and the government.
“We are expecting this platform to continue to ease the sufferings of people,” he said. (KNO)
