CHANDIGARH: Punjab Revenue and Rehabilitation Minister Hardeep Singh Mundian said that the AAP government, led by Chief Minister S. Bhagwant Singh Mann, is committed to providing better administrative services to the people. Hence, undue harassment of people in the Revenue Department offices will not be tolerated.
Mundian said that in the wake of ongoing reforms in the Revenue Department, transfers of Tehsildars and Naib Tehsildars were done yesterday. Still, it has come to his notice that many officers have not yet joined their duties. He has directed all the transferred Tehsildars/Naib Tehsildars to immediately report to their new postings.
The Minister said that there would be no compromise on the issue of administrative services to be provided to the people. He said that he can check any revenue office from tomorrow and if anyone is found absent from duty during this surprise checking, then strict action will be taken against the concerned officer/employee. He said that indiscipline will not be tolerated at any cost.Besides, the YIL which has acquired the shares of the AJL is a “not-for-profit” company, which means that even when it earns profits, it cannot give dividends to any shareholders nor can any of the directors be given any salary or any perks, Manish Tewari said.
Interestingly, the trial on complaint on the basis of which the ED has filed the charge sheet is effectively stayed, Manish Tewari said while referring to complainant Subramanian Swamy having got a stay on the trial himself from the Delhi High Court.
The former Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting said the BJP government also knows that there is nothing in the case and it will not stand any legal scrutiny.
He added, the BJP-led NDA government wants to build a perception to malign the Congress leadership in the eyes of the people of the country
