A delegation from Kenya visited Chhattisgarh to study the mining industry and other related policies and regulations as well as the newly developed IT-based mineral administration and operations. Secretary, Mineral Resources, Anbalgan P apprised the visiting delegates about the presence of various minerals and the scope of its export. The visitors were explained on how the issues and challenges faced during the earlier manual process have been conveniently transformed through digital innovations into transparent, trouble-free, effective and credible system.
The new Congress government will tow the same line of former chief minister Raman Singh in addressing the issues, grievances and demands of the common people. The only change is the name of the programme. Instead of BJP CM’s ‘Jandarshan’ (weekly public interaction), Congress Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel’s sessions will be known as ‘Bhet-Mulakat’ (to meet and interact) programme. It will be held every Wednesday at the CM House in civil lines from July 3. In 2017, Chhattisgarh under Raman Raj topped among the 29 states in the country with 81.66 per cent of public grievances resolved. It remains to be seen how the new government delivers.
