Raipur, May 31, 2026– Chief Minister  Vishnu Deo Sai chaired a divisional-level review meeting at the District Panchayat Auditorium in Bemetara on May 31. He said that the true measure of governance lies in its sensitivity, accountability and commitment towards citizens. He stressed that officials should not only listen to public grievances but also ensure their prompt and effective resolution so that people are not forced to make repeated visits to government offices.

Chief Minister stated that the state government’s objective is not merely to formulate schemes but to ensure that their benefits reach the last person in society. He emphasised the need for an administration that is more proactive, result-oriented and citizen-centric.

Collectors, SPs, and senior administrative officials from Bemetara, Durg, Rajnandgaon, Kabirdham, and Khairagarh-Chhuikhadan-Gandai districts attended the meeting. Development projects, welfare programmes, law and order, and administrative performance were reviewed in detail. Officials from other districts also joined the meeting through video conferencing to provide updates on the progress of various schemes.

Chief Minister  Sai stated that good governance becomes meaningful only when citizens do not have to struggle to get their problems resolved. He directed officials to treat public service as their highest priority and ensure the serious and timely disposal of every complaint, application and grievance. He stated that sensitivity and accountability towards citizens are the soul of the administrative system and that resolving public issues is not only an official duty but also a moral responsibility.

Focus on Making the Chief Minister Helpline a Strong and Trusted Platform

The Chief Minister stated that the state government is developing the Chief Minister Helpline as a strong, effective and reliable platform through which citizens can easily register their complaints. He said grievances received through the helpline would be monitored at the highest level to ensure accountability and timely resolution.

He added that the Chief Minister Helpline would serve as a powerful bridge between the administration and the public, ensuring that government schemes and services reach the last beneficiary without obstacles.
