Officials must work earnestly to assist people visiting JIT for various services with respect to their properties allotted by the trust under different schemes. Any kind of negligence in this task will be highly unwarranted and strict action will be taken against the erring officials, if any kind of complaint is received from allottees. — Ghanshyam Thori, DC-cum-Chairman, JIT
