Chhattisgarh CM Raman lauches online communication with citizens

Singh said that once in a month he would have e-Jandarshan and invited all the people of state to join him in this initiative.

To ensure success of this programme, the administration had begun the process months ago. It first uploaded an application form on Singh’s official website and asked people to fill and submit it with their grievances.

“We received 178 applications and selected 50 from 9 districts. They assembled at NIC office at district headquarters. While 31 applicants managed to converse with him today and register their grievances, the applications of others would be resolved through normal jan darshan,” Rajat Kumar, Director Public Relation, Chhattisgarh, told The Indian Express.

Some persons came on their own, the travel of a few others was arranged by the administration.

Kumar said that the administration called them to NIC office to ensure good internet connectivity. “Next time we will keep an option. If people have good connectivity at home, they need not visit NIC office,” he added.

Among the applicants, one was Gaurishankar Patel from Kapu area of Raigarh district. He complained that members of a local cooperative society are unable to withdraw their payments worth nearly Rs 30 lakh from District Cooperative Central Bank. Singh immediately told Raigarh Collector Mukesh Bansal to send report about the matter and also instructed him to ensure that members their payments soon.
