West Bengal Government Mandates Twice-Weekly Public Grievance Sessions at Offices
The West Bengal government has expanded its 'Aapnar Sarkar Aapnar Pashe' initiative by mandating 'Janata Darbar' sessions twice weekly at government offices. Officials, including district magistrates and police officers, will meet citizens every Tuesday and Thursday from 10:30 am to 1 pm without prior appointments to address grievances. These sessions complement existing online portals, ensuring accessible public grievance redressal. The government has instructed officials to avoid scheduling other duties during these hours and to display contact details prominently, with monitoring by administrative authorities to track attendance and complaint resolution.
