CM Omar Inaugurates Raabta: Transforming Citizen-Govt Interface

Srinagar: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, accompanied by NasirAslamWani, Advisor to CM, on Friday inaugurated the CM’s Public Services & Outreach Office, marking a significant step toward transparent, citizen-centric governance.

During his maiden visit, the Chief Minister toured the facility, reviewed its operations, and interacted with officers.
Commending the initiative, the Chief Minister emphasized the importance of citizen engagement and directed officers to ensure timely grievance resolution and proactive communication with the public.
Chief Minister was informed that office will adopt a hybrid communication approach, including an online grievance portal, dedicated helpline, and periodic in-person interactive sessions to cater to all citizens effectively.
This innovative initiative underscores the government’s dedication to fostering public trust and ensuring a seamless interface between the administration and citizens.
