Gurugram will have its own ‘Model of Governance’ once the plan succeeds: Chief Principal Secretary to CM Rajesh Khullar
Bilkul Sateek News
Gurugram, August 18. An action plan has been finalized to ensure solutions to the problems faced by citizens in Gurugram city. Under this plan, joint efforts will be made for cleanliness, road repairs, drainage, providing shelter to stray animals, trimming and proper disposal of trees around DHBVN power lines, and stopping the practice of open garbage burning. The action plan has been prepared based on feedback from various citizen groups, RWAs, social and other institutions, taken by Chief Principal Secretary to the CM, Rajesh Khullar, during his six-day stay in Gurugram.
On Monday, Khullar held two sessions at Haryana Institute of Public Administration (HIPA), Gurugram—one with the councillors of the Municipal Corporation, and the other with Class-I officers posted in the district. He discussed in detail the planned actions and timelines to achieve the targets. He said the proposed action plan will first be implemented in Gurugram, and if it proves successful, it will become Gurugram’s own “Model of Governance,” which can then be replicated in other cities of the state.
Councillors’ voices heard, solutions assured
In the first session, Khullar interacted with the councillors of Municipal Corporation Gurugram, along with Mayor Rajrani Malhotra, and heard the main issues of their respective wards. He assured them that Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini is committed to resolving Gurugram’s problems and that positive results will be visible very soon. He emphasized the need for councillors’ cooperation in this effort.
Accountability fixed for power-related accidents
In the second session with district officers, Khullar expressed concern over citizens’ complaints about accidents during the monsoon due to electricity lines. He directed Police Commissioner Vikas Arora that if such incidents occur in future, cases must be registered against the concerned JE, SDO, and XEN of the area. He also ordered that all leaves of employees and officers of the Power Department be cancelled till November. Every officer must personally inspect the field, check power lines, and ensure proper trimming and disposal of tree branches.
Police and station in-charges to remain vigilant
On reports from various groups about garbage being brought into Gurugram from outside, Khullar directed Municipal Corporation and Police officials to immediately seize such vehicles and register cases against the agencies involved. He also instructed strict action against those burning garbage in the open, with SHOs staying alert in their respective areas.
Officers told to act as a team
Khullar said all officers must work as a team, taking responsibility for the area from their homes to their offices. They must take personal initiative to resolve the issues linked to the action plan, keeping citizens’ concerns in mind. He stressed that the quicker the results are shown, the better it will be for the city. He mentioned that he had personally met people and toured different areas of Gurugram during his stay, and the impact of this work should be visible in citizens’ daily lives so that people themselves appreciate the efforts.
GMDA CEO Shyamal Mishra, Divisional Commissioner R.C. Bidhan, Deputy Commissioner Ajay Kumar, Police Commissioner Vikas Arora, Joint Commissioner of Police Sangeeta Kalia, Municipal Commissioner of Gurugram Pradeep Dahiya, Municipal Commissioner of Manesar Ayush Sinha, and other senior officials were present on the occasion.
