The Story in Brief
The Madhya Pradesh government has ordered senior officers to conduct field visits every Friday under the Chief Minister Jan Vishwas Abhiyan. The Free Press Journal reports that additional chief secretaries, principal secretaries and secretaries who cannot visit the field must inform the chief secretary’s office. Heads of departments must notify their department’s in-charge secretary.
No meetings will be held in Mantralaya or district offices on Fridays during the programme. Officers will review CM Helpline cases, public hearing complaints and cases under the Public Services Guarantee Act. Chief Minister Mohan Yadav and Chief Secretary Ashok Barnwal will visit Chhindwara, where Yadav is scheduled to meet communities, farmers and industry representatives and inspect a government office.
The Indian Opinion
The claim that Friday visits alone will fix public services would be as shallow as dismissing them as publicity. Their value depends on whether officers act on CM Helpline complaints, hearing petitions and guarantee-law cases after returning from the field. The order’s demand for simple visits without pomp is sensible. Will departments publish how many cases were resolved?
