Public grievance redressal time cut to 16 days from 28 in 2019: Govt
The government introduced 10-step reforms for the Centralised Public Grievance Redress and Monitoring System (CPGRAMS) in April 2022 to make grievance redressal timely, effective and accessible to the citizens, Union Minister of State for Personnel Jitendra Singh said in a written reply.
The CPGRAMS allows citizens to raise grievances against government departments online.
"In the period from 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 the CPGRAMS 10-step reforms enabled redressal of 80,36,042 grievances, mapped 1,05,681 Grievance Officers (GROs), reduced timelines of grievance redressal from 28 days in 2019 to 16 days in 2025 and reduced pendency to 62,620 public grievances as on 30th June, 2025 for central ministries," he said.
Singh said the government issued comprehensive guidelines for effective redressal of public grievances on August 23 last year, reducing the grievance redressal timelines from 30 days to 21 days.
These guidelines mandate the integration of public grievance platforms, establishment of dedicated grievance cells within ministries and departments, appointment of experienced and competent nodal and appellate officers, emphasis on root cause analysis and action on citizen feedback and the strengthening of grievance escalation mechanisms, he added.
As of June 30, the feedback call centre has completed 23 lakhs surveys, the minister said.
An appeal mechanism, with 90 nodal appellate authorities and 1,597 sub-appellate authorities, is available to a citizen in case she or he is not satisfied with the resolution, he said.
In the years 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 (till June 30), 7,75,240 appeals have been resolved, Singh said.

Congress leaders speak in different voices on Trump's tariff threat
Congress leaders on Monday spoke in different voices on the issue of U.S. President Donald Trump's latest comment on imposing higher tariffs for buying Russian oil. 'So much for Howdy Modi. So much for Namaste Trump. So much for Ab ki Baar Trump Sarkar. So much for BJP MPs hailing Narendra Modi as India's trump card,' party's communications chief Jairam Ramesh posted on X. 'This is what happens when foreign policy becomes about image building, not national interest,' Mr. Ramesh added. His party colleague, Manish Tewari, tagging President Trump on X, asked the American President not to lose his sleep over it. 'We have enough resilience as a nation to withstand your Tariff threat,' he added. Former Union Minister Anand Sharma noted that the U.S. President's comments on 'India and its economy was belittling and unacceptable'. 'As the fourth largest economy, India has resilience & inherent strength to engage with the world on principles of equality & mutual respect,' Mr. Sharma posted on X.

Resort politics in municipal polls too as MCM councillors flown to Nepal
Gurgaon: Showing how stakes have risen even in elections at the municipal level, a dozen BJP-backed councillors were taken to Nepal ahead of the poll to elect two deputies for the mayor of Manesar, which is scheduled for Tuesday. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Incidentally, Manesar was the only corporation where BJP didn't win the mayoral seat in the civic elections that were held earlier this year. An Independent, Inderjit Kaur Yadav, was elected mayor. So, there is intense jockeying for influence over the deputies. The two positions for which polls will be held are those of senior deputy mayor and deputy mayor. Sources said the 12 councillors were flown off over the weekend to Pokhara and were accompanied by a senior BJP functionary, a loyalist of minister and Badshapur MLA Rao Narbir Singh. An unspecified number was sequestered in other cities within India, the sources added. According to party insiders, the councillors' group in Nepal was on its way back to the city on Monday and would reach either late night or early Tuesday morning. In case of the latter, they will directly go to the Manesar conference hall where voting is scheduled between 10.30am and 1.45pm. Sources in BJP said the strategy was a preventive measure against any last-minute poaching or crossvoting. "The risk of defections or councillors shifting loyalties under pressure is real. After the mayoral loss to an Independent candidate backed by Rao Inderjit Singh, we couldn't afford another setback," said a senior BJP functionary, referring to the tussle for influence between the Union minister and Gurgaon MP and Narbir. Election for the senior deputy mayor and deputy mayor holds both symbolic and strategic importance because the mayor is a Rao Inderjit loyalist who prevailed despite intense campaigning for the BJP candidate by Narbir. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Eventually, seven BJP candidates were elected in the 20-member civic body. After the polls, seven Independent councillors joined BJP, taking the party's tally to 14 and putting it in a good position to call the shots in Tuesday's elections. However, such numerical reassurances can prove ephemeral before crunch votes, so moving the flock to Nepal was thought to be the right move by Narbir's camp to ensure unity and minimise last-minute shifts, especially amid attempts by the rival faction to re-establish contact with some of the turncoats, sources said. Photos of some of the councillors dining at a restaurant in Kathmandu and sightseeing in Pokhara have surfaced on social media, drawing comments about the need for such "extreme measures" in a municipality level election. Narbir has, however, denied his role in Nepal trip for the councillors. "I'm not aware of any trip. There is election on Tuesday and all councillors will be there. I am sure BJP candidates will get the seats". On rivalry with Rao Inderjit, Narbir said he is a senior BJP functionary and Union minister, and there are no such differences. Parties or netas protecting their flock against horse-trading by herding them into hotels and resorts at faraway places ahead of crucial events like a confidence motion or a trust vote, or breaking away to form a new party or joining another, is not uncommon. But that happens at the state or national levels. Maharashtra, Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh have seen episodes of MLAs being flown to luxury resorts in Goa, Rajasthan, and even hotels in Gurgaon. During his power struggle with Ashok Gehlot, Congress's Sachin Pilot had led a group of MLAs to a hotel in Manesar. For Tuesday's poll in Manesar, during which councillors will vote to elect the two deputies to the mayor, both sides exuded confidence on their numbers. According to BJP sources, consensus has been reached on fielding Praveen Yadav, councillor from Ward 12, and Reema Deepak Chauhan, councillor from Ward 2, for the posts. The rival bloc has not publicly disclosed its candidates.
