PESHAWAR: The Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sohail Afridi, has instructed his provincial cabinet members and secretaries to conduct regular open courts to address public complaints.
The Chief Minister’s Secretariat letter announces that the provincial government has started open courts as part of its “Awam Ka Ehsaas” program to deliver effective solutions for citizen issues.
The letter states that resolving public issues should be the government’s top priority. The statement explains that open courts should serve as a direct platform for people from all over the province to present their problems.
The new directive requires all departments to schedule open courts which will occur every month. Officials who hold senior positions will participate in these meetings to assess complaints through direct communication while attempting to provide immediate resolutions.
The chief minister has sent a formal letter to cabinet members and secretaries to request implementation reports for his cabinet members. The provincial government believes this action will enhance public interactions with government institutions.
