Srinagar, Sept 19: Chief Secretary, Dr Arun Kumar Mehta today took review of key people oriented initiatives and also arrangements for Meri Mati Mera Desh in presence of Administrative Secretaries, Deputy Commissioners and SSPs.

The Chief Secretary impressed upon the officers to go through the programme charted out for the ‘Swachhta hi Sewa’ campaign 2023 and prepare for its implementing.
He asked the Deputy Commissioners to sensitize their sectoral officers about their roles and tasks to be accomplished & stressed the crucial need for prioritizing cleanliness in urban areas and tourist destinations, as they serve as the UT’s public image.
Regarding the land allotment to the PMAY beneficiaries as per the survey made in 2018, the Chief Secretary emphasized on accelerating the process further. He directed for handing over these land patches as per the scheme to these identified landless families before October 2nd so that they can take the construction work in hand before the onset of winters.
During the review of the Ayushman Bhava campaign, Dr. Mehta directed the Health Department to conduct screenings for all Non-Communicable Diseases prevalent in the UT among the adult population.
Dr Mehta also took review of the saturation of old age pension scheme implemented by the Social Welfare Department. He asked for providing such pension to each eligible person before Gandhi Jayanti this year.
He called for consistent follow-ups on the ‘Brashtachar Mukt J&K’ and ‘Nasha Mukt J&K’ programs to eliminate these societal issues.
