Modern Tehsil Complex : CM Inaugurates New SDM Office for Faster Public Services

Dedicating the building which will house offices of SDM, Tehsildar, Naib Tehsildar  and others, the Chief Minister said that the foundation stone of this ambitious project was laid in January 2023 and it has been completed in a record time span. He said that this project will immensely benefit the masses by delivering them citizen centric services in a time bound manner adding that it will facilitate the people in providing the services here at their vicinity only thereby saving their time, money and energy.  Bhagwant Singh Mann said that Dudan Sadhan is primarily a rural area and earlier the office of the SDM was situated in Mini Secretariat Patiala due to which people had to suffer a lot for getting their routine administrative works done. However, the Chief Minister said that now to facilitate the general public the state government has decided to construct this complex here only. He said it is immensely proud and satisfying that these modern Tehsil complexes are being built across the state. They are built to facilitate the people. Bhagwant Singh Mann quipped that the previous regimes never paid attention to such initiatives. They neglected serving the people in a better manner. The Chief Minister bemoaned that earlier the reigns of the state were in the wrong hands. As a result, the state suffered adversely. However, he said that ever since assuming the charge of office, his government has focused on such works. These works are of immense public importance. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that such buildings are being constructed while keeping in-view the future needs of the people.
