Srinagar, Dec 4:  In its endeavour to bring administration at the doorsteps of the people as a part of Public Outreach Programme, the Deputy Commissioner (DC) Srinagar, Dr Bilal Mohi-Ud-Din Bhat Wednesday conducted an extensive tour of Panzinara area in the outskirts of Srinagar District.

He presided over a Public Grievance Redressal cum Awareness camp under Weekly Block Diwas initiative. The camp witnessed large participation of people from Panzinara-A, Panzinara-B, Mujgund and other adjoining areas of Shalteng Tehsil of Srinagar District during which local representatives, public delegations and scores of individuals projected various issues and demands before the DC particularly the long pending issue arising out of jurisdictional dispute with Baramulla and Bandipora Districts.

Besides, they also demanded that Revenue authorities update settlement records, repair Jhelum Bund, augment water supply infrastructure, provide bank ATM facilities, and address other development issues. After listening patiently to the public's grievances and demands, the DC sought an on-the-spot response from the concerned District Officers present during the Grievance Redressal Camp.

He assured the people of Panzinara and other adjoining areas that all genuine demands and issues projected by them will be taken up with concerned authorities on priority particularly with regard to jurisdictional issues. The DC also gave on the spot direction to the concerned officers for time bound redressal of the public issues. Addressing the gathering, the DC said the purpose of holding such grievance redressal Camps is to take appraisal of local issues from the general public for precise and on-ground assessment for time bound redressal.
