PATNA: Chief minister Nitish Kumar is set to listen to the complaints of people again at his ‘janata ke darbar mein mukhyamantri’ programme beginning Monday. The programme is being ressumed after five years.
Top officials held a meeting at the state guesthouse on Sunday to review the arrangements at the venue located at the CM secretariat. The visitors will have to go through RT-PCR test before being allowed inside.
Patna DM Chandrashekhar Singh said instructions have been issued to maintain social distancing and other Covid guidelines strictly.
On the first day, issues related to health, education, science and technology, labour resources, general administration, art and culture, finance etc will be taken up. The applicants have been asked to upload their complaints to a mobile app, JKDMM. Special arrangements have been made for the visitors coming from far off places in view of the floods and Covid pandemic.
The district magistrates have been asked to ensure transportation of the people willing to lodge their complaints at the JKDMM programme. Such applicants will stay at the district headquarters at night, upload their complaints and then leave for the venue the next morning.
People from Araria and Katihar will spend their night at Begusarai. Night stay arrangements for people from Kishanganj and Purnia have been made at Samastipur, for Saharsa and Supaul at Muzaffarpur, Bhagalpur and Banka at Biharsharif (Nalanda) and West Champaran, East Champaran and Madhepura at Hajipur (Vaishali).
Arrangements have also been made to submit their applications to the offices of respective block development officers, SDOs and at the district headquarters with their Aadhaar cards and contact numbers. Those having no mobile phones may provide the number of their relatives.
Mukesh Hisaria, who is scheduled to attend the programme on Monday, said he has been invited to give suggestions on the treatment of the Thalassemia patients.
Meanwhile, journalists, except those from the news agencies, will not be allowed inside the hall for the coverage of the JKDMM programme due to Covid. The authorities have made arrangements for the webcasting of the programme through Beltron. In addition, the IPRD will facilitate the live telecast of the programme on its social media platform.
