Uttar Pradesh has disposed of 1,23,633 grievances with an average closing time of 24 days to emerge as the topper of this group.

The report also brings out the deliberations made during the meeting between the Secretary, DARPG, V Srinivas and the Chief Secretary of Jammu and Kashmir on June 23, 2023. The objective of the meeting was to assess the status of grievance disposal in the Union Territory (UT) on the Central Government grievance portal CPGRAMS as well as Jammu and Kashmir government grievance portal JKIGRAMS. The Nodal Officers across the UT also attended the meeting.
A total of 62,929 grievances were redressed by the state and Union Territories in June 2023. This has meant that the pendency reduced to 1,88,275 grievances across the states/UTs Governments. (ANI)
