| Mayor directs officers for e-offices, online services | | |  Early Times Report
JAMMU, Feb 4: In an unprecedented move Jammu Mayor, Rajinder Sharma while chairing the meetings of Executive Committee and Finance and Planning Committee of Jammu Municipal Corporation has taken the revolutionary step of bringing all the services of Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC) at online mode and making offices of the Corporation e-offices.
As of now there is no provision of full-fledged e-offices in JMC.
"To put an end to the red-tapism existing in the offices of the Local Urban Body, functional e-offices should be ready to provide their services within 15 days," the Mayor directed officers of JMC.
Mayor Rajinder Sharma said that e-offices will usher an era of transparency as in the absence of such a system it becomes prerogative of a clerk to prioritise files which is mostly done on considerations of illegal graft.
He further said that e-offices will also reflect the performance of officers and officials as time taken for file clearance shall be easily known and such offices can be monitored from anywhere.
"When the government has spent huge amount of money on such systems, why not these become a reality," Sharma continued.
He also directed officers for making services of JMC online to ensure paperless work culture for the benefit of the public and added that online services are faster as compared to the manual ones.
To fulfill the vision of Mahatama Gandhi and Hon'ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi regarding empowerment of Local Body Institutions, the Mayor, in yet another bold step, said that whatever is passed in the Executive Committee and Finance and Planning Committee meetings needs to be implemented by the Commissioner of JMC after approval from the Mayor 's Office.
On operationalisation of Tree Authority the Mayor said that all the permissions regarding cutting of trees, their trimming etc shall now be sought from JMC.
It is pertinent to mention here that the proposal for Constitution of Tree Authority was submitted by himself in shape of a Resolution in the General House meeting when he was a Councillor and thereafter forwarded to the Government. Government approved and the Tree Authority was constituted by the Government which gives a big relief to the General public.
"There shall be a special session for budget of JMC," Jammu Mayor said adding that every section/department of JMC shall give their expenditure details which shall be discussed in the pre budget meeting.
Sharma also said that every organisation has their own budgets.
He said that lanes and drains in Jammu Smart City shall now be made on modern lines with sewerage line to be laid at one end of the lane and drains centrally aside to the sewerage line and ducts shall be made for PHE pipes and for electric wires at opposite sides of the streets.
"Apart from this separate drain will be made for rain water to be linked to a facility for rain water harnessing and another drain shall be there for waste waters from households-toilet, bathroom and kitchen waste waters," the Mayor said.
"The lanes shall be made of pre-cast materials so that the lanes cannot be broken," he said adding: "New roads with dividers at centre and 30 ft road on its either sides and 10 ft road beyond that shall now be constructed for essential services."
The Executive Committee also cleared hiring of a Public Relations Officer to highlight the work of JMC so that public may come to know hard work behind facilities provided to them. |
