Jaipur, June 25. Chief Minister Smt. Vasundhara Raje said that be it the CM, the Ministers, public representatives or officials, government employees like doctors, teachers and patwaris etc all were public servants as their salaries were paid by the people. So, all those had to get into the service of the people and there was a zero tolerance for negligence in this, she added.

Smt. Raje was talking to the people at village Beenjh Bayala in Sri Ganganagar district on Wednesday during her visit from Suratgarh to Karanpur on Wednesday. She said that for past 60 years the Chief Minister used to operate from the Secretariat office and now this unique campaign of Government at Your Doorstep was initiated to prove that the government was responsible to the people.

The Chief Minister said that she had already make to clear to all public representatives, officials and employees that they all were a team with a mission Raise Standard of Rajasthan meaning thereby to get Rajasthan to new heights of progress and development.  This mission would be accomplished with support of all, including the people, she added.

Smt. Raje said that for past 60 years the common used to hand over the memos regarding their grievances to the government, but redressal were not done. To break this ice, her government chose this route to cover the entire state by the CM and the ministers visiting at Panchayat Samiti level.

The Chief Minister said that a gap had emerged between the public and the government in past 60 years. The government machinery stopped functioning in the rural areas as there was no water, no doctor, no officials or even patwari visiting the village to make note of the public grievances. Rajasthan would witness the change if teachers, doctors, officials and employees all would make efforts to resolve the problem of the common men, she hoped.

Smt. Raje expressed concerns over non-utilization of the community centre, a trauma centre and a stadium at Suratgarh. She asked the district officials to remove encroachment from the stadium and put it to the proper use for the public. She further directed the health department officials to identify all such health centres which were dysfunctional due to lack of staff and medical health workers.

While returning from Suratgarh to Srikaranpur the Chief Minister stopped to meet a group of villagers and labourers standing on the way and accepted the buttermilk offered by them. Likewise, she met the village women and men at several places in the way and inspected pump houses, a school, a milk chilling plant and other places in Sriganganagar and Hanumangarh districts.
