Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh, October 1-
In a resolute initiative to bolster transparency and integrity in public service, Punjab newly-appointed Revenue Minister Hardeep Singh Mundian has exhorted all revenue officers and officials to ensure an incorruptible administration that serves citizens efficaciously.
During a virtual conference with revenue officials statewide, Hardeep Singh Mundian reiterated Punjab government's commitment, spearheaded by Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann, to deliver an unblemished, forthright and transparent administration, directing all District Revenue Officers, Tehsildars and deputy tehsildars to prioritize public needs, ensuring amenities such as adequate seating, ventilation, potable water and sanitary facilities are readily accessible for visitors to government offices.
The Cabinet Minister mandated that all revenue officers adhere to office timings and render prompt service to the public.
He unequivocally rejected the practice of limiting registration days in various tehsils and sub-tehsils, decreeing that daily registrations be conducted statewide to mitigate inconvenience to citizens.
Issuing a stern warning, the Revenue Minister said that no unauthorized fees should be exacted from the public beyond government-sanctioned rates. He emphatically said that any official or employee found culpable of soliciting bribes or flouting regulations would face severe repercussions.
