All BJP municipal corporators will hold "public hearings" in their respective wards from the next month with an aim to take civic administration to the doorsteps of common people.
The BJP is the ruling party in all the three municipal corporations in the city.
"Every BJP corporator will hold public hearing at least twice a week. The days will be fixed and the venue will be decided according to convenience of the people. This flagship programme would commence from June 1," Delhi BJP president Vijay Goel said.
"Common people in every ward would be able to approach their BJP corporator in these public hearings. They can share their problems, concerns and suggestions," he said.
Goel said corporators would take "on the spot" affirmative actions to resolve the issues, redress the concerns and implement suggestions with the help of municipal officials.
The schedule of these public hearings will be made available to the residents of every ward. The venues will be decided according to convenience of the people so that the large number of people can attend them, the Delhi BJP president said.
The decision to organise these public hearings came after a series of meetings where BJP corporators and state party leadership discussed ways and means to further bring the municipal administration closer to citizens.
"This new initiative is a result of the series of brainstorming sessions held within the Delhi BJP to chalk out people-friendly programmes and bring administration to the doorsteps of the common people," Goel added.
