Fatehabad, May 21
The Sirsa MP, Kumari Selja chaired the meeting of the District Development Coordination and Monitoring Committee (DISHA) at the Mini Secretariat auditorium in Fatehabad and reviewed the progress of various development works and government schemes. Deputy Commissioner Dr Vivek Bharti, Superintendent of Police Nikita Khattar, ADC Anurag Dhalia, City Magistrate Gaurav Gupta, District Transport Officer Sanjay Bishnoi and senior officials of different departments were present at the meeting.
During the session, the district administration presented a report on the action taken regarding the directions issued by Kumari Selja in the previous DISHA meeting. Expressing strong displeasure over the functioning of the Municipal Council, Fatehabad, Selja sought explanations from officials regarding sanitation arrangements and incomplete development works in the city. Municipal Council officials stated that some projects were pending because land-related matters were under consideration in court.
Selja said that even if new works could not begin due to certain reasons, the authorities should at least ensure proper cleanliness and maintenance of already completed projects. Showing recent photographs dated May 20 on her mobile phone, she told officials that the actual condition of the city was visible to everyone and that providing basic civic amenities was the administration’s responsibility. During the meeting, Kumari Selja also reprimanded Public Health Department officials over alleged negligence in public-related works and directed them to ensure that no laxity would be tolerated in matters concerning common people. She instructed officials to speed up development works and prioritise sanitation, drinking water supply and other essential public facilities in the city.
