The Voice of Chandigarh

The Governor of Punjab and Administrator, U.T. Chandigarh, Gulab Chand Kataria, held a Samadhan Shivir for residents of Hallomajra, reaffirming the Chandigarh Administration’s commitment to citizen-centric, transparent and responsive governance.

This was the second Samaadhaan Shivir organised by the Chandigarh Administration. Present on the occasion were H. Rajesh Prasad, IAS, Chief Secretary, UT Chandigarh, along with all senior officers of the Chandigarh Administration and representatives of various departments.

During the Samaadhaan Shivir, teams of various departments of the Chandigarh Administration received a total of 66 grievances from residents. The complaints were duly recorded by the departmental teams present at the venue and forwarded to the concerned authorities for necessary action and time-bound redressal.

Residents of Hallomajra presented their grievances and concerns in detail, one by one, before the Administrator. The concerns covered a wide range of subjects, including civic amenities, sanitation, drinking water supply, electricity, roads, street lighting, housing, public health services, education, solid waste management, land acquisition, access roads, parking spaces, cow protection and other infrastructure-related matters.

Officers of the concerned departments provided on-the-spot updates, clarified queries and outlined steps for timely resolution. Several issues were resolved immediately, while others requiring further action were noted for time-bound redressal. The Administrator issued clear directions to the concerned officers to ensure quick and coordinated action on the grievances received. He emphasized accountability, inter-departmental coordination and regular monitoring to ensure effective outcomes.

In his address , the Administrator thanked the public and emphasized that working together would help resolve these issues easily and swiftly, rather than addressing them separately. He assured residents that all genuine concerns raised during the Samadhan Shivir would be addressed in a timely manner. He reiterated that the Administration remains committed to taking governance to the doorstep of citizens and strengthening direct engagement with local communities.

The Administrator further informed that such Samadhan Shivirs will continue to be organised at different locations across the city so that residents can directly interact with the Administration and seek resolution of their issues.

The Administrator also launched the ticket booking portal on Chandigarh Tourism App for the Surya Kiran Aerobatic Team air show to be held on March 27 and 28 at Sukhna Lake.
