Omar also said his government has taken "historic measures" to empower the people and fight corruption in the state that no previous government has ever done. "We have enacted the Public Service Guarantee Act (PSGA) to make service delivery time bound and impose fine on erring officials on this count", he said. Stating 50 services of six departments of Transport, Revenue, Power, CAPD, Housing and PHE have been brought under the ambit of the PSGA, he said, Home and other departments will also be brought under the purview of this Act.
