But Kumar ignored the directions given by grievance cell and uploaded the old report on the portal without taking any action in the matter.

Bhupeshwar Dayal said that the strict action taken by the Chief Minister has given a message that it is the responsibility of the officers and employees to redress the grievances of the public on a priority basis and laxity will not be tolerated.

He said that the Chief Minister has clearly directed the officers and employees to take the complaints of the general public seriously and to ensure their resolution by taking action on them in a time-bound manner.
