The State Government has
decided to make video recording for each Gram Sabha and Palli Sabha meeting
as mandatory, informed Panchayati Raj Minister Kalpataru Das.
Das said that the State Government has decided
to record the proceeding of the meetings of each Gram Sabha and Palli Sabha in
video mode. The purpose of video recording is to ensure transparency and
strengthen the Gram Sabhas, particularly in the tribal areas, he informed.
“We are trying to launch the process of video
recording most likely on October 2 on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti. In the
process, video clippings or CDs would be transferred to the department and to
the districts. The CDs will be made available to people through Right to
Information,” he clarified.
Regarding installation of toll-free helpline,
the Minister said that the Government has decided to operationalise this
mechanism for redressal of public grievances. Persons affected with various
administrative works at the panchayat, block and district levels can lodge
complaints or make suggestions through toll-free helpline. The district or
departmental officers would attend the grievances and address them in a
stipulated time frame, he added.
