Today's interaction was the latest in the series of LG's Mulaqaat programme under which every month the Lt Governor meets individuals from across the UT, listens to their issues and concerns for resolving them on the spot, thus making the grievance redressal mechanism robust, responsive and more efficient, besides monitoring the performance efficiency of online grievance redressal system JK-IGRAMS, the spokesman said.

He asked the officials to be more sensitive and responsive to the issues of the public and take requisite measures to minimise their difficulties.
