<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin--><b>Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal on Wednesday directed the civil and police officials to curtain undesired expenditures on visits of the Chief Minister and be punctual in their duty and be available to public from 9 am to 5 pm in their offices.
He also called upon the district civil and police administration to adopt a people-friendly approach while dealing with people. Addressing the first meeting of senior officers of the district civil and police administration, Badal exhorted them to discharge their duties with dedication, sincerity, honesty and a sense of deep commitment in order to fulfil the promises made by the SAD-BJP alliance to the people of Punjab.
Badal said that he and his cabinet would strictly adhere to the self-imposed code based on moral ethics. No welcome gates, no hospitality and pump & show at the expense of the Government on official visits of ministers including the Chief Minister would be tolerated.
Badal said that he had decided in principle to take simple meals at the residence of the workers of SAD and BJP alternatively during his visits in the State.
He also directed the police administration to not disrupt/divert the traffic in view of the visits of VVIPs in future. He said that even he would prefer to wait for an hour in case he was held up in a traffic but the general public would not be allowed to suffer in future due to the inconvenience caused to them by the artificial barriers/hurdles put up en-route. </b><!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
