MEERUT
Bureaucrats
on their toes thanks to Maya; villagers a happy lot
Meerut, March 2
Political parties may not be happy
with the smooth running of the Mayawati government in the state.
Politicians may have different views over the government for their own
vested interests. But the Chief Minister, Ms Mayawati, has nothing to
worry about as the common men, specially in the villages, seem to be
happy with the functioning of her government. Each and every official
from the administration can be found rushing towards villages right from
the patwari (juniormost revenue official) to the Commissioner to give
some respite.
