FAISALABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 10th Sep, 2025) Advisor to the Federal Ombudsman of Pakistan, Shahid Hussain Jilani, has emphasized that

the prompt and effective redressal of public grievances is a Primary responsibility of the

Federal Ombudsman.

To fulfill this mandate, open courts (Khuli Katcheris) are being organized across the country

to directly engage with citizens and resolve their issues on the spot.

He made these remarks while addressing an open court held at the FESCO Executive Engineer’s office
