Chandigarh, November 09
Taking cognizance of incidents where benefits of government schemes were not being provided to the people of Haryana in a prompt, timely and transparent manner, the Nayab Singh Saini government has ordered action in such cases. Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini on Saturday ordered to deduct 15 days’ salary of 2 Joint Commissioners, 2 Deputy Municipal Commissioners and an Executive Officer due to delay in implementing Shehri Swamitva Scheme. Apart from this, Gurugram Municipal Corporation clerk Sandeep Kumar was suspended with immediate effect in a case of demanding a bribe of Rs 50,000.
It is worth noting that different schemes of each department are monitored from the CM Dashboard Cell running at the Chief Minister’s residence. In this series, a confirmation cell talks to the beneficiaries over the phone and takes their feedback, which the Chief Minister himself listens to from time to time. After the implementation of the schemes, citizens are asked about their experience and under that, guidelines are given to the officials in the meeting.
On Friday, when the confirmation cell asked the beneficiaries about the Shehri Swamitva Scheme, some serious cases came to light. In a case in Gurugram, a beneficiary was being made to run around for two years despite depositing the full amount and Sandeep, the clerk, had demanded a bribe of Rs 50,000. The Chief Minister took strict cognizance of this and, adopting a zero tolerance policy on corruption, suspended Sandeep Kumar with immediate effect.
In Ambala, Sonipat and Nuh, citizens told the confirmation cell over the phone that the full amount had been deposited a year ago, but the officials have not yet got the conveyance deed done and made them run around the office again and again. The Chief Minister immediately issued instructions to deduct half a month’s salary of all the concerned officers and said that no officer will be spared for negligence in implementing the government schemes.
On the orders of the Chief Minister, the Commissioner and Secretary of the Urban Local Bodies Department have deducted 15 days’ salary of Municipal Corporation Gurugram Joint Commissioner Akhilesh Yadav, Municipal Corporation Ambala Joint Commissioner Puneet and Deputy Municipal Commissioner Deepak Sura, Municipal Corporation Sonipat Deputy Municipal Commissioner Hardeep and Nuh Municipal Corporation Executive Officer Arun Nandal. Clear instructions have been given by the Chief Minister that the execution of the conveyance deed should be ensured within 2 days of payment of the full amount.
The Commissioner and Secretary of the Urban Local Bodies Department have directed the officers to ensure the execution of the conveyance deed in the pending cases under the Shehri Swamitva Scheme in the next 3 days and submit the report. Apart from this, the execution of the conveyance deed of 100 such cases in which the full amount has been paid should also be completed by November 14, 2024. Not only this, instructions have also been given to take action on 2152 pending cases in the next 10 days.
