The online reporting system of the Meghalaya State Food Commission was today commissioned by Chief Secretary Rebecca Suchiang here today.
The online reporting portal will facilitate quick submission of reports by the District Grievance Redressal Officers in issues relating to effective redressal of grievances in matters relating to distribution of entitled food grains or meals and to enforce the entitlements under the National Security Act 2013.
The launch was attended by Chairman of the Meghalaya Food Commission, PS Thangkhiew and senior officers.
Suchiang stated that the launch of the online reporting system will go a long way in ensuring “maximum governance with minimum government”.
The online system, it is hoped, will reduce the time taken for receiving reports from the District Grievance Redressal Officer (DGROS).
Since the constitution of the Meghalaya State Food Commission in 2016 many complaints relating to the midday meal scheme, anomalies relating to weights and measure in fair price shops, etc have been effectively taken up by the commission.
