Transfer inefficient govt officials


Power Minister Shri Ramakrishna alias Sudin Dhavalikar seems more focused on merging his MGP party with the BJP ahead of elections, even as rumours suggest MGP MLA Jit also plans to join BJP. 

However, we, the people, are not interested in political games”we want honest governance. Sadly, the Power Department is plagued with corruption from top to bottom. Officials demand bribes to fix minor issues, and linemen, despite receiving salaries, expect extra money for their basic duties.

The sub-electricity office in Guridolim is unresponsive”calls from villagers go unanswered, both on official and personal numbers. Often, the office remains closed during working hours, citing vague excuses like attending complaints. Even after completing formalities and payments for meter connections, the work is delayed endlessly, with only hollow promises of “tomorrow.”

This is not the service the people of Chandor deserve. The linemen and staff shirk responsibility and are indifferent. We urge MLA Yuri Alemao and the Power Minister to take immediate action”transfer inefficient staff and appoint responsible workers who address villagers' issues sincerely.
