He patiently listened to the grievances and directed the concerned officers on phone to resolve the same at the earliest.

A delegation of Old Panchkula Market Association met Sh Gupta and apprised him that they have been earning their livelihood for the last 50 years, but now the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has started the process of removing their shops located on NH-22 towards Kharak Mangoli for the purpose of widening of roads and construction of roundabout. The delegation requested Sh Gupta to intervene into the matter and ensure that their shops are not lifted until an alternative place is provided to them. Sympathetically considering their demand, Sh Gupta assured the delegation that he would take up this matter with the higher authorities.

On the complaint of charging more than the prescribed fees for various government services at Common Service Centers (CSCs), Sh Gupta spoke to the Deputy Commissioner on phone and asked him to constitute a three-member committee. He said that this committee would make a surprise inspection of the CSCs located in the district and ensure that only the fee prescribed by the Government is being charged from the people. If any CSC is found charging more than the prescribed fee, its license should be canceled immediately, he asserted.

While taking cognizance of a complaint regarding assault by the police in a case of dispute between two brothers in village Ramgarh, Sh Gupta directed the Commissioner of Police on phone to investigate the matter and take action against the guilty.

In another case of village Ramgarh , Numberdar Gurmeet Singh complained to Sh Gupta that open electricity wires are hanging at many places in the village posing threat to the villagers. Despite repeated requests to the officials of the Power Department, the wires have not been removed yet. On this, Sh Gupta directed the concerned SDO to remove the wires and submit a report in this regard tomorrow.
