Gurugram, Nov 24 (IANS) Haryana Chief Secretary Vivek Joshi has said that officers should establish such a system in their departments that the complaints of the general public should be resolved quickly. In this, new technology and expert services should be used, he said.
Addressing a meeting of officers from departments like Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA), Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG), Haryana State Industrial & Infrastructure Development Corporation (HSIIDC), NHAI etc., here in Gurugram on Sunday, the Chief Secretary said that if any contractor or private company associated with the government system does not meet the standards of the department, then legal action should be taken against it.
“Officials should ensure that people here are not troubled due to basic problems like electricity, water, and road. Also ensure that if any citizen faces such a problem, it should be resolved on the spot. The services of city cleanliness, waste management, MCG or GMDA should be linked to new technology. Officers can also take the services of skilled experts or companies from another state,” he said.
