GUWAHATI: In a bid to improve the public services in the state, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced several new initiatives. These include the steps towards the delivery of the services within a stipulated time and announcing a fine if the service is not delivered.
He mentioned that if the work has not been completed within the stipulated time then the public can approach the RTPS Commission and after the Commission will issue notice to government officials seeking an explanation on the same. And if it comes to the fore that the work/service has not been done due to sheer laziness then the person responsible for the task will have to pay a fine of Rs 100 each day, announced the CM.
The Chief Minister has announced that the grievances regarding the non-delivery of several key public services within a stipulated time frame will now be handled by the Assam State Commission for Right to Public Services. And for the management of the same, the state government will set up the Right To Public Service Commission (RTPS). This will be very beneficial to the general public of the state.
On a previous occasion, Himanta Biswa Sarma had announced the setting up o the Right To Public Service Commission with the aim to maintain accountability for the timely delivery of public services to the citizens of the state.
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma unveiled ambitious plans for comprehensive administrative reforms during his address at the 77th Independence Day Celebrations held at the Khanapara Veterinary Field in Guwahati. Amidst a gathering that included Cabinet Ministers, Kamrup (Metro) DC Pallav Gopal Jha, Guwahati Police Commissioner Diganta Barah, and other dignitaries, the chief minister outlined a series of transformative changes slated to reshape the state's administrative landscape within a remarkably short span of one month.
The foremost and perhaps the most striking among these reforms is the abolition of the sub-division system across the state. Chief Minister Sarma emphatically stated that the existing sub-division structure would be replaced by the establishment of sub-districts within each constituency. This structural shift seeks to decentralize administrative functions, potentially enhancing governance efficiency and citizen access to services.
In addition to this radical change, the chief minister also announced that districts that have been merged with other existing districts would undergo a thorough review, with a decision about their future determined within the following two months. This indicates a keen commitment to streamlining administrative boundaries and structures for improved governance outcomes.
