Govt Committed To People’s Welfare: Vivek

Minister G. Vivek Venkatswamy on Wednesday reaffirmed that the Congress government in Telangana remains firmly committed to people’s welfare and to delivering transparent, responsive and effective governance at every level.

He was briefing the media after supervising the ‘Prajalatho Mukhamukhi’ (Face-to-Face) grievance redressal programme held at Gandhi Bhavan. People from different sections of society met the minister and personally submitted representations relating to various issues.

Along with senior party leaders and office-bearers, the minister received the petitions and assured the applicants that their grievances would be addressed at the earliest.

The minister said that the Praja Palana programme, organised every week at Gandhi Bhavan, reflects the government’s people-centric approach and provides a direct platform for citizens to interact with public representatives and seek redressal of their grievances.

The minister said that several grievances were resolved on the spot, while the remaining representations were forwarded to the respective departments and officials for necessary action.

He said the Congress government has undertaken several welfare initiatives for the benefit of the people and has already issued new ration cards to all eligible beneficiaries across the state. He described the ration card as a key document that enables access to several welfare schemes, including the Indiramma housing scheme and other government benefits.

The minister received around 120 representations, covering issues related to employment, pensions, Indiramma housing, land disputes and other public grievances. He directed the concerned officials to examine the petitions on priority and take prompt action for their resolution.
