Senior Punjab Civil Services officer Surinder Singh on Friday assumed charge as Additional Deputy Commissioner (Rural Development), Amritsar. Prior to his new posting, he was serving as Additional Deputy Commissioner (Rural Development) in Tarn Taran district.

Surinder Singh is no stranger to the Amritsar administration, having previously served as Additional Deputy Commissioner (General) in the district and as Additional Commissioner of the Amritsar Municipal Corporation. His return is expected to strengthen the implementation of rural development projects and public welfare schemes across the district.

Soon after taking charge, he assured residents that all public grievances and official matters would be addressed promptly, fairly, and without unnecessary delay. He emphasised that citizens would not face inconvenience in getting their legitimate work completed.

“If any person encounters difficulty in getting his or her work done, they may approach me directly without hesitation,” Surinder Singh said.

The newly appointed ADC further stated that the benefits of government welfare schemes would be delivered to every eligible and deserving beneficiary in a timely and transparent manner.
