Within 15 Days Integrate JKIGRAMS With CPGRAMS: CS
Srinagar- The disposal of grievances, registered on the JKIGRAMS, by different departments has increased manifold over the past two years and has shown at least 45 percent increase in the disposal rate from October 2020 to June 2022.
This was revealed on Tuesday in a meeting chaired by Chief Secretary, Dr Arun Kumar Mehta at Civil Secretariat here while reviewing the implementation of JKIGRAMS.
The significant increase in the disposal percentage has been attributed to the inception of LGs Mulaqat which has led to a substantial increase in the number of grievances being qualitatively redressed and people thereby raising the hopes of people also about the resolution of their grievances.
While chairing the meeting, Chief Secretary directed the officers to fully integrate Jammu and Kashmir Integrated Grievance Redress and Monitoring System (JK-IGRAMS) with the Centralised Public Grievance Redress and Monitoring System (CPGRAMS) in the next 15 days.
CS said that JKIGRAMS should be fully integrated with CPGRAMS. He also urged for interlinking LGs Mulaqat, JKIGRAMS and CPIGRAMS for further strengthening of governance mechanisms in Jammu and Kashmir.
He directed the officers to ensure quality disposal of every genuine public grievance to make the system more effective, responsive, and vibrant.

During the meeting, statistical data was also provided about the JKIGRAMS and it was given out that a total of 234009 grievances have been registered out of which 225322 grievances have been disposed off which amounts to a disposal rate of 96 percent.
