Calls for renewed focus on good governance, urgent deliverance on
developmental front

SRINAGAR,
AUGUST 23: Governor Shri Satya Pal Malik today
made it clear that reinforcing good governance and delivering results urgently
on the developmental front must be the topmost priority of the State
administration at all levels to bring J&K back on course. Rapid, people
centric development is the need of the hour, he said.
Immediately after assuming office, Governor convened the first official
meeting with his Advisors, B B Vyas, K Vijay Kumar & Khurshid Ahmad Ganai
and Chief Secretary B V R Subrahmanyam at Raj Bhavan here this afternoon and
took first-hand appraisal of the functioning of Governor’s Administration.
To ensure a tangible turnaround, Governor enumerated the measures to be
taken to give a fresh push to the “Mission on Delivering Development” and
“Mission on Good Governance”. He said the state administration shall have to
function with efficiency, speed and accountability and deliver quick results on
the ground on developmental and governance fronts. He said the Grievance
Redressal mechanism shall have to be further strengthened and expanded to
ensure that people see the desired results on the ground within the shortest
possible time.
“Focus has to be on working through transparency and consultation to
promote a culture of excellence in governance characterized by integrity and
highest standards of deliverance,” he said and added that judicious and productive
use of resources has to be ensured so that the funds are utilized according to
priorities keeping in mind the larger public good and requirement of basic
amenities.
Governor said a clear message shall have to go down the line that the
focus should be on development on all fronts and reaching out to the people to
meet their basic needs. He prioritized the health, education, rural development
and social welfare sectors for focussed attention.
Governor also called for ensuring that the major development programs
and projects and flagship schemes are given a renewed push and completed on
time. PMDP projects must be given priority so that projects such as AIIMSs,
IIT, IIM, Ring Roads and others are completed on time. Cleaning up the iconic
Dal Lake must also be given topmost priority and the lake should be restored to
its pristine glory. He said completing all such projects which are hanging fire
for quite some time due to varied reasons should be the priority and these
projects must be completed within a set timeframe.
Governor also called for expanding the scope and import of the Grievance
Redressal mechanism. He said grievance redressal should not be limited to the
capital cities of Srinagar and Jammu alone.
Governor directed that District Grievance Cells should be urgently
opened in all districts under the supervision of Deputy Commissioners. “The
concerned Deputy Commissioners will personally hear grievances at least once a
week,” he ordered.
Governor also asked the officers to expand their public outreach by
conducting frequent field visits and meeting the people on ground in every nook
and corner of the State to redress their grievances.

travel time on Srinagar-Kargil-Leh road from 3.30 hours to just 15 minutes.
Speaking on the occasion,

cut down the psychological divide between people of different regions in the
State by a great measure. She said the tunnel would not only increase the

people who would be at the mercy of harsh winters during closure of the
Srinagar-Kargil-Leh Highway in winters.

State on equal footing and in this regard historic steps have been taken by her
Government. She said construction of Zojila tunnel was the commitment of her
Government towards the people of Ladakh and today she is happy to see that
commitment getting fulfilled on ground. This is also a commitment made in the
Agenda of Alliance which my Government is fulfilling, she added. She hoped the
tunnel would get completed within the shortest possible time so that it not
only bridges the geographical barriers between the regions but also the
economic and psychological barriers between its people.
Paying rich
tributes to late Koshak Bakula, the Chief Minister described him as the
architect of modern Ladakh whose contribution in the social, educational and
political development of the region can never be forgotten. She also
complimented the people of the region for their honesty, hospitality and simple
way of life.
Mehbooba Mufti
said the region has a great scope for winter sports and the youth from Ladakh
have displayed their sporting talent at ample times. She pitched for
construction of two high quality indoor stadia at Leh and Kargil so that the
sporting activity becomes a round the year affair in the region.
