Raipur. Chhattisgarh Deputy Chief Minister Arun Saw on Wednesday announced the release of an amount of Rs 450 crore for all the urban bodies of the state. Along with this, he said that proposals worth more than Rs 450 crore will soon be approved for infrastructure development under the 15th Finance Commission. Thus, a total amount of Rs 900 crore will be made available to the urban bodies of the state to strengthen urban infrastructure and for new development works. Deputy Chief Minister Arun Saw made this announcement during a press conference today, during which he shared information about the demands received in the public problem resolution camp and the status of its resolution.
Deputy Chief Minister Sao said that to solve the problems of the citizens and to understand their needs, a Jan Samasya Nivaran Pakhwada was organized in all the urban bodies of the state from 27 July to 10 August. The urban citizens have given a good response to this. I myself had visited many Jan Samasya Nivaran camps and seen the arrangements and met the citizens. I had instructed the commissioners of all the Municipal Corporations, Chief Municipal Officers of Nagar Palikas and Nagar Panchayats to solve the problems of the people on the spot as far as possible.
Let us tell you that during the Jan Samasya Nivaran Pakhwada, about one lakh 30 thousand applications have been received in the camps organized across the state, out of which 37 percent i.e. 48 thousand applications have been resolved on the spot. After sending the applications related to other departments to the concerned departments, the remaining applications are being examined and action is being taken for quick resolution. The construction work related to the needs and demands of the people could not be done due to rain. These works will be completed rapidly after the rains. This will be a big success of the Jan Samasya Nivaran Pakhwada organized in the cities.
