Mokokchung, November 19 (DIPR): During his two-day visit to Mokokchung, Governor of Nagaland, PB Acharya held a meeting with district administration, security agencies and all Heads of Departments at the conference hall of ADC (planning) Mokokchung on November 18.
The Governor asked the officers of the district whether they are marching ahead with the rest of the country or standing still, saying that there is an urgent need to review the overall activities in all the departments. Government officials being the servants of the people, Acharya stated, they should have plan for them and ponder upon what one can do for the people. He said any criticism from the masses should be palatable to an officer.
Acharya further said every officer, being highly educated people, should have a social responsibility. “In the first place one should be a human being, secondly a patriot and lastly an officer,” he stated. The Governor maintained that being an officer one should not think that nobody can do anything to them. He said in a democratic country, “everyone is a king and nobody is a king.”
The Governor lamented that everywhere he goes in the State, he hears dissatisfaction from the people about the pathetic road conditions, hospitals and schools. Yet, the only response from the departments concerned is “we can do better”, the Governor added.
Stating that “we should not negatively talk what positively we can do,” he said Nagaland has to rise up for which there should be a monitoring agency apart from the government to review the activities in the departments, to see that every programme is implemented and beneficiaries are benefited. He reminded that “everyone has a soul and must be true to one’s faith”.
The security agencies also briefed the Governor about the prevailing law and order situation in the district.
