Punjab government will start first of its kind ‘Jan Maal Lok Adalat’ from Jalandhar to resolve revenue complaints, State Revenue minister Bram Shanker Jimpa said.

Jimpa said the scheme will be started as per the guidelines issued by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to solve the problems of people on the spot. 

“During ‘Jan Adalat’ various schemes and offices of the revenue department will also be inspected. ‘Jan Maal Lok Adalat’ would be held on March 20. Complaints and problems related with the Revenue Department would be heard and solved on the spot,” Jimpa said.

Jimpa stated that Bhagwant Mann government is making immense efforts to make the functioning of the revenue department easy and people-friendly. 

The Revenue department has adopted an online system to streamline the work and more concrete steps will be taken in the future.

“Lok Adalats would also be set up in other districts of Punjab. CM Bhagwant Mann is working tirelessly to provide all facilities to the people of Punjab from day one. 

It is also the aim of the government that the people should not face any kind of hardship for the facilities and get all the facilities at their doorstep without any hassle. 

If any citizen has a problem/complaint/difficulties, it would be resolved in a timely manner. If any officer/employee found guilty of negligence strict action will be taken against him,” Jimpa added.

Jimpa appealed to the people of Punjab not to give any bribe to any officer or employee for doing any work related to the revenue department and if anyone asks for a bribe then it should be reported immediately.
