Kolkata, May 16:
The new Bharatiya Janata Party-ruled West Bengal Government has decided to organise “Janatar Darbar (People’s Court)” for two hours twice a week soon, where the Chief Minister, Suvendu Adhikari, will be present to listen to public grievances directly from the people. An insider from the current state secretariat of Nabanna said that although an official notification in the matter had not yet been issued, the Chief Minister’s Office had taken an in-principle decision to start “Janatar Darbar.”
“A couple of top bureaucrats will accompany the Chief Minister while he is present at the programme, which will be for two hours twice a week. In all probability, an official notification in this matter will be issued this month, and the programme will begin next month.
“Groundwork in the matter at the administrative level has already started, with the modalities of the said programme being worked out,” the state secretariat insider said. According to him, irrespective of which party is in power, people always have some grievance or another about the administration’s functioning.
