The government has no other important issue than developing the villages said KCR the CM. Since we had confidence and faith in officials and people’s representatives, we have given them adequate time and flexibility. Hence we have not gone for immediate checks.
Now we feel the time has come. In the New Year, from January 1 we will launch checking of the Palle Pragathi programme. This is not meant to trouble anyone. The flying squads will conduct surprise checks and send the report directly to government only,” the CM said.
The CM said officers will be drafted from IAS, IPS and IFS cadre and the monitoring system will be put in place. Each official on a random method will be given 12 mandals in different districts to conduct surprise checks. Who is given what Mandal will be confidential information that will be with the government. Surprise and phased manner checks in the village can be used for crosscheck the response.
This will enable the government to get proper suggestions and advices. The CM also made it clear that action would be taken against officials, Village Sarpanches who have not done their cent percent work and there should not be any let off in this matter. Especially those officials who showed laxity in their job will not be pardoned. Stringent action will be taken on those officials.
“The surprise checks carried out by the flying squads will show the commitment, abilities and dedication of officials and elected representatives in implanting the Palle Pragathi programmes. This is also a testing time for the Panchayat Raj officials and elected representatives. There is no meaning if the villages are not bettered despite the fact that vacancies are filled, huge promotions are given, financial and others resources are made available. Despite all this if the villages are not developed now they can never be in the lifetime. But it should not happen,” the CM said.
The CM also reiterated that the government would not rest but would strive to make each and every village totally developed, clean, green and tidy. The CM also explained the seriousness of the Palle Pragathi programme. “We are conducting the review meeting here today making Panchayat Raj Commissioner Raghunandan Rao to cancel his important visit to Bengaluru. This alone explains the seriousness of the programme,” the CM said.
