Hazare writes to CM, warns of stir if laws not implemented

December 26, 2013 18:24

Anna Hazare today asked Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan to ensure proper implementation of laws including those on empowering gram sabhas and transfer of officials, warning that he would launch an agitation if action was not taken.

"It is becoming unbearable for the common man to live, owing to large scale corruption in every sphere of society. The people of the state had, through 'jan andolan', forced the government to enact laws on empowering gram sabha, delays in discharge of official work, transfer of officials, and citizens charter," he said.

"It is a sad thing that despite good laws having come into existence, they are not being implemented," Hazare said in the letter to the Chief Minister.
