Ghaziabad District Magistrate hears citizen grievances, vows swift action on disputes

District Magistrate Ravindra Kumar Mondal held a public hearing at his office chamber in the Collectorate in Ghaziabad, where he listened carefully to the problems and grievances of common citizens. Residents from various parts of the district presented petitions concerning land possession disputes, revenue conflicts, illegal encroachments, public amenities, pensions, ration cards, water supply, and other civic issues.

The District Magistrate heard each complaint with seriousness and sensitivity, directing concerned officials to ensure quality, effective, and prompt resolution within stipulated timelines. He instructed officers to settle each complaint in line with Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's intent, emphasizing that grievances should not be resolved merely as a formality but should result in genuine and satisfactory solutions. He also asked officials to take feedback from complainants after resolution.

During the hearing, differently-abled persons requested the District Magistrate to arrange housing for them, noting that tricycles, employment, pensions, Antyodaya cards, and Ayushman cards had already been provided following his earlier directions. Mondal assured them that housing would be arranged soon under an appropriate scheme.

Suman, a resident of Khoda, complained that goons had illegally occupied a plot she had purchased in Sajwan Nagar despite complaints to the local police station and Commissioner's office. The District Magistrate directed the Sub-Divisional Magistrate Sadar to evict illegal occupants and restore possession to the rightful owner, stressing that no weak, helpless, or poor person's property should be encroached upon and that providing justice to every person remains the administration's primary responsibility as per the Chief Minister's directives.

Two cancer patients, Sushil from Bhupendra Puri in Modinagar and Sandeep Srivastava's daughter from Nandgram, sought financial assistance. The District Magistrate directed officials to apply for aid from the Chief Minister's Relief Fund and arrange Ayushman cards for their treatment.

The public hearing, scheduled from 10 am to 12 noon, often extends until 2-3 pm due to heavy attendance. Additional District Magistrate Administration Jyoti Maurya, ADM Land Acquisition Avnish Singh, City Magistrate Satish Chandra Tripathi, and other officials were present.
