Elaborate arrangements have been made to organise 255 'Ungaludan Stalin' camps in the district that commence here on July 15 to redress the genuine grievances of the public within 45 days from the date of submission of their application.
Speaking to reporters here on Friday, District Collector R. Sukumar said 255 camps will be organised in Tirunelveli Corporation, three municipalities, 17 town panchayats, 204 village panchayats in the district till October 7. On the first day, six camps to cover 19,165 households will be conducted. In the first month, till August 14, as many as 114 camps will be organised to cover 3,22,698 houses in the urban and the rural local bodies.
In urban areas, officials attached to 13 government departments offering 43 services will participate while officials from 15 departments will be present in the camps to be held in rural areas for attending the grievances pertaining to 45 services. Since the petitioners have to submit their applications in prescribed format, the applications and awareness pamphlets were being distributed through door-to-door campaign by the volunteers even as 114 supervisors are monitoring and coordinating this exercise.
Aadhar booths, police department's 'May I help you?' booths, preliminary screening health booths by the Public Health Department, E-seva centre will also be present in these camps.
'Regular review of the camps will be done by the senior officials designated for this purpose as the grievance will be redressed within 45 days from the date of the submission of the application,' Dr. Sukumar said.
The Collector appealed to the public to participate in the camps in their respective areas to avoid unnecessary crowding in other camps.
'We assure you that the camps will be organised in all the village panchayats, town panchayats, municipalities and the Corporation. Hence, you just wait for the camp to be organised in your respective area, participate in it to submit the prescribed application and get your grievance redressed. It will ensure quality of service. If you attend the camp in your neighbouring area, it will cause unnecessary crowding in those camps and exert undue pressure on the officials there,' the Collector appealed.
As of now, the district administration has planned to organise six camps a day and four days a week except Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays.
