Sonepat: Today’s open durbar of the district administration at Rai, the block headquarters, was dominated by complaints from Nahra village relating to encroachments, disruption of telephone services, erratic power and drinking water supplies.

At the durbar, presided over by the SDM, Mr Sujan Singh Yadav, and attended by officers from other departments, Sunil Kumar of Nahra village complained more than 100 telephones of the village had been on the blink for the past many days. Despite complaints made to the telecommunication authorities, no steps had been taken to repair the faults.

He also urged the SDM to instruct the office of the District Transport Officer to transfer his driving licence, which was not being done despite several attempts. The SDM assured the complainants that their grievances would be redressed promptly.

The SDM was informed by the BDPO, Rai, that the Svajaldhara scheme was being implemented vigorously in about a dozen villages of the block. The SDM also carried out inspections at the Cooperative Bank branch, the ESI dispensary and Patwarkhana at Rai after the durbar.
