In Gonda villages, ‘Gram Chaupal' drive to resolve public grievances: Govt
THE GONDA district administration has launched an initiative to resolve public grievances by holding 'Gram Chaupal' in villages. District officials led by the District Magistrate (DM) are visiting villages, interacting with residents while receiving their complaints and ensuring on-the-spot solutions to their problems. The government is trying to strengthen public trust in administration through the 'Prashasan Gaanv ki Chaukhat Par' programme, said a statement. Named 'Gram Chaupal 3.0' or 'IGRS Chaupal', the campaign is a research-oriented, data-driven, and solution-focused initiative, the statement said. It began with an analysis of complaints received through the Integrated Grievance Redressal System (IGRS). Under the leadership of DM Neha Sharma, villages with repeated and high-volume complaints were identified. Based on this analysis, 40 gram panchayats were marked as high-priority villages. Relevant departmental officials were directed to visit these areas before the chaupals to assess issues on the ground and ensure maximum on-site resolution. The DM reviews the quality of grievance redressals to ensure lasting and effective outcomes, the statement said. Gram Chaupal was formally launched on June 3 and complaints received via IGRS, Samadhan Diwas, and Janata Darshan have been prioritised. Administrative teams are organising 'samadhan shivirs' (resolution camps) in identified villages. On the first day, the DM visited a few villages where issues ranging from electricity and roads to sanitation, housing, ration, and land inheritance were addressed. Directions for resolution were issued on the spot. DM Neha Sharma emphasised that the aim is not just to register complaints but to ensure 'quality and lasting solutions.' She and other senior officials are visiting the chaupals to verify the sustainability and effectiveness of the resolutions. Case-by-case reviews have been made mandatory ahead of each chaupal, and eligible beneficiaries are being linked to government schemes. Nodal officers have been assigned oversight and reporting responsibilities, with clear directives for direct accountability and disciplinary action in cases of negligence.

Naini industrial area entrepreneurs to benefit from new door to door garbage collection service
Prayagraj: The entrepreneurs of Naini Industrial Area will no longer have to worry about garbage disposal. Uttar Pradesh State Industrial Development Authority (UPSIDA) will now collect garbage from the factories of Naini Industrial Area through door-to-door garbage collection. UPSIDA will not charge entrepreneurs a higher fee but will only charge a maintenance fee of Rs 1 per square metre per year. Until now, the entrepreneurs themselves disposed of the waste from the factories. To solve the problems of entrepreneurs and provide them with maximum facilities, a Samadhan Diwas and Samvad programme was organised with the entrepreneurs of Prayagraj division in Naini Industrial Area on May 2 under the chairmanship of Uttar Pradesh govt's industrial development minister, Nand Gopal Gupta Nandi. The entrepreneurs demanded improvements in electricity, water, cleanliness and other basic facilities in Prayagraj industrial area. Minister Nandi assured the entrepreneurs of these improvements. UPSIDA previously charged Rs 20 per square metre per year from the entrepreneurs of Naini industrial area as a maintenance fee, which did not include garbage disposal. The entrepreneurs had to remove garbage from their enterprises themselves, incurring additional costs. To address this issue, UPSIDA has now decided to dispose of the garbage by conducting door-to-door garbage collection from the factories established in Naini industrial area. The pre-determined maintenance fee of Rs 20 has been increased by just one rupee, making the maintenance fee Rs 21. Now, the entrepreneurs have resolved the problem of garbage disposal at a fee of just one rupee per square metre per year. President of Eastern Chamber of Commerce, Vinay Kumar Tandon, said that the entrepreneurs will benefit from this facility provided by UPSIDA.
