SHOPIAN: The week-long nationwide outreach campaign “Prashasan Gaon Ki Ore" campaign initiated by the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, GOI concluded successfully today in District Shopian, witnessing widespread public participation and effective grievance redressal. The campaign aimed at taking governance to the doorsteps of citizens, enhancing last-mile service delivery and strengthening grievance redressal mechanisms.

In Shopian district, the programme was executed in a systematic and inclusive manner, covering all 98 Panchayat Halqas, in addition to one outreach camp each at Tehsil Headquarters and two special camps at the District Headquarters were held, ensuring comprehensive geographic and administrative coverage.

On the concluding day, grievance redressal and public interaction camps were organised at Nazneenpora (Tehsil Keegam), Kanigam (Imamsahab), TurkWangam (Block Chitragam), Panchayat Halqa Vehil, Berthipora-A& B, Panchayat Halqa Partabpora and HS Pora (Block Herman), where a large number of residents interacted directly with officers of the concerned departments. BDO, Nazir Ahmad presided over some of the camps in Imam Sahib and Hermain blocks.

Throughout the campaign, the initiative played a pivotal role in addressing public grievances, resolving service delivery issues and creating awareness about government schemes and entitlements.

Officers from various line departments received, examined and acted upon grievances related to revenue, rural development, social welfare, public utilities, development works and other citizen-centric services, with many cases resolved on the spot and others taken up for time-bound disposal. During the week long campaign, more than 400 applications were disposed of under service delivery mechanisms, underscoring the effectiveness and reach of the programme.
