• Directs Display of Welfare Scheme Details in Public Offices to Benefit Masses
• Criticizes Bureaucratic Delays, Demands Proactive Problem-Solving from Government Officers

AKHNOOR: In a dedicated public outreach initiative, Senior BJP leader and Rajya Sabha Member of Parliament, Er. Gulam Ali Khatana, visited Kotli Tanda in Akhnoor on Sunday to address the grievances of marginalized sections of society. The event saw participation from various sections, including EWSs, SCs, STs, OBCs, women, and youth, who voiced their concerns directly to the MP.

Khatana emphasized the importance of efficient governance and directed the attending officers to resolve the issues faced by the people promptly, without necessitating repeated visits to public offices. He highlighted the Union Government’s commitment to serving the people under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. “The Prime Minister is leaving no stone unturned to serve the people of the country,” he stated, underscoring the government’s efforts to rectify the governance lapses left by previous administrations. “Focusing on the vacuum emerged due to the misgovernance of Congress since independence, our Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi Ji, is working tirelessly to undo the blunders committed by the Congress party,” Khatana added.

The MP held a comprehensive public outreach meeting with representatives from various marginalized groups. The discussions centered around the pressing issues affecting these communities, from basic amenities to social welfare schemes. Khatana’s engagement with the public was a testament to his commitment to inclusive development and ensuring that the benefits of government schemes reach every section of society.

Khatana highlighted the significance of government departments that are directly connected to the public, such as the Rural Development Department, Public Works (R&B) Department, Jal Shakti Department, PMGSY, Health, and CAPD. He urged these departments to prominently display information about welfare schemes initiated by the Modi government in their offices and public places. “If the details of welfare schemes are displayed at public offices/places, it will make the masses aware and ensure the benefits reach the last person,” he said.

Khatana stressed the need for a proactive approach from government officers. He directed the public servants to adopt a problem-solving mindset and engage with the masses directly. “Officers should come in redressal mode to solve the problems being faced by the masses, instead of sitting in air-conditioned offices. The culture of making people visit government offices again and again is not a good sign of public service. Officers should redress public issues in just one visit to save their own as well as public time,” he asserted.

The MP’s directives were clear, public service should be efficient, responsive, and compassionate. He criticized the bureaucratic delays that often frustrate the public and called for a shift in attitude among government employees towards more efficient service delivery. The event also saw Khatana interacting with the youth, encouraging them to participate actively in the nation’s development and take advantage of the various government schemes designed for their empowerment.

The outreach program was met with appreciation from the attendees, who expressed hope that their issues would be addressed promptly. Khatana assured them of his continued support and follow-up on the matters discussed. He reiterated the BJP’s commitment to the welfare of all sections of society and promised that their voices would be heard and acted upon. This public outreach initiative by Er. Gulam Ali Khatana reflects the BJP's dedication to grassroots engagement and addressing the concerns of marginalized communities.

It also showcases the party’s efforts to bring governance closer to the people and ensure that the benefits of development reach every corner of the country. The visit to Kotli Tanda by MP Er. Gulam Ali Khatana was a significant step towards bridging the gap between the government and the people. It highlighted the importance of direct interaction with the public and the need for government officers to be more accessible and responsive to the needs of the masses.
