Rajouri: To root out corruption and promote transparent and accountable governance, the “Bhrashtachar Mukht J&K Week” is being observed with great enthusiasm across District Rajouri from September 4th to September 10th, 2023.
The week-long campaign, spearheaded by Deputy Commissioner, Vikas Kundal, kicked off with a pledge-taking ceremony held at the DC Office complex, to be followed by a series of activities during the period.
The initiative, taken in consonance with the J&K wide campaign, aims to rally the community against corruption and raise awareness about the empowerment opportunities offered through the Janbhagidari portal.
It will focus on engaging all sections of society, particularly the rural populace, through the organization of special Gram Sabha meetings across all Panchayats in the district. These meetings will concentrate on cultivating a corruption-free environment in Jammu and Kashmir.
Notably, the Deputy Commissioner has outlined key areas of focus, including crucial government departments like Revenue, Rural Development and Panchayati Raj (RDD), Public Works Department (PWD), and Power Development Department (PDD). The campaign places an emphasis on addressing grievances related to the Revenue Department, such as land records, mutations, and demarcations, ensuring that these issues are promptly and effectively resolved at the appropriate levels.
Furthermore, Deputy Commissioner Vikas Kundal passed directions to all public officers to prioritize matters of public importance and take swift action to address them. Particular attention will be given to achieving full household tap connections and resolving electricity-related issues, resolution of land revenue matters etc.All complaints received during this period shall be addressed on overriding priority within the week .
As part of this initiative, a series of engaging events will be organized on Teachers’ Day, including quizzes, debates, skits, paintings, rangoli and poster making competitions to encourage students for an active participation in the fight against corruption.
In a bid to facilitate the reporting and resolution of corruption-related grievances, special counters have been established at the tehsil, block, and district levels.
The “Bhrashtachar Mukht J and K Week” is not just a campaign; it’s a collective commitment to build a corruption-free and accountable society.
