JAMMU:
Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed today described the District Development Boards (DDBs) as mini-legislatures and institutions of inclusivity.
“DDBs are mini-legislatures and institutions of inclusivity. The decisions taken in the District Development Board meetings shall have to be implemented in letter and spirit,” Sayeed said while chairing the District Development Board meetings of Jammu and Reasi districts here today.
“District Development Boards are the institutions of empowerment for the legislators. This well-established institutional mechanism makes them part of the implementation process at the ground level. I will leave no stone unturned to ensure that the credibility and authority of the institution DDB is restored fully,” Sayeed said.
The Deputy Chief Minister, Nirmal Kumar Singh, who is also the chairman DDB Jammu and Minister of Cooperatives, Tsering Dorjey, who is chairman DDB Reasi also spoke at the meeting.
Calling for making the mechanism of issuance of Permanent Resident Certificates (PRC) transparent and hassle-free, the Chief Minister, however, directed the administration to take strict action against those misusing the same.
He directed the administration to ensure that the permanent residents of the state are not made to suffer for issuance of PRCs and other certificates.
Expressing concern over the intensifying traffic congestion in the capital cities of Jammu and Srinagar, the Chief Minister announced the State Government’s plan to have multi-lane circular roads for Jammu and Srinagar to ease jamming. (AGENCIES)
