Upalokayukta Justice K.N .Phaneendra urged government officials to be transparent and dedicated in discharging their responsibilities as public servants.
He was speaking before receiving grievances from the public over shortcomings in service delivery. Mr. Phaneendra said that though there may be thousands of litigations pending before the courts and the departments, the officials should bear in mind that as for as the individual petitioner is concerned, it is the only case and hence each petition should be treated with utmost urgency and sincerity to ensure prompt justice.
He said the concept of Lokayukta was not only to crack down on corruption but to ensure that nobody was deprived of benefits due to shortcomings of the bureaucracy. In case there was violation the judiciary was bound to intervene, said Mr. Phaneendra.
