need to ensure the delivery of public services and meeting the day to day needs of the common man," the spokesman said.
Meanwhile, the state government has directed all the deputy commissioners and district officers to undertake extensive tours of their districts particularly far-flung, remote and difficult areas every Wednesday to address the grievances of the public.
