I continuously gather information from the grassroots level regarding the problems people are facing and whether there are any shortcomings in our administrative system."

Haryana CMO, in a statement, said, "Today, in the review meeting of Gurugram's development projects, Chief Minister Shri @NayabSainiBJP, taking public complaints seriously, issued directives for necessary action. In view of the complaints continuously received by the RWA, the Regional Officer of the Haryana State Pollution Control Board, Gurugram North, and the Regional Officer, Gurugram South, have been suspended. Ensuring swift resolution of public complaints and accountability of officials is the state government's priority."

Meanwhile, today, Saini furthered the pledge of Clean India, Healthy India' on Gandhi Jayanti.

He stated on X, "We have decided to launch the 'GVP Free Campaign' in the district. Under this, the goal has been set to eliminate garbage heaps. I appeal to everyone to extend their cooperation in this campaign and take a pledge that neither will we litter nor allow others to do so. Ensuring that garbage reaches the designated place is our responsibility. Let us come together to make our homes, neighbourhoods, villages, lanes, and cities clean and beautiful." (ANI)
