Phone-in grievance session a hit

Coimbatore: As many as 95 Tirupur residents phoned collector K Vijayakarthikeyan on Monday, seeking solutions to civic problems and to cut red tape.
The district administration had abandoned the weekly grievance redressal meetings, conducted on Mondays at the collectorate, five months ago due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Subsequently, a petition box was installed at the collector’s office.
Most of the petitions the collector addressed on Monday were about damaged roads, drinking water supply, senior citizen pensions, new ration cards and land patta, a statement said.
Residents can contact the collector on 0421–2969999 every Monday between 11am and 1pm. TNN
