255 ‘Ungaludan Stalin' camps to be organised in Tirunelveli district
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.

‘Filthy water, not allowed to meet children': Imran Khan under ‘harshest prison term in Pakistan's history'
In a message from the jail, former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that he is undergoing the 'harshest prison term' in the country's history and the water that he gets for ablution is filthy and unfit for human use. read more A supporter of jailed former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan holds his poster during a gathering by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party to observe Martyrs' Day to honour those who allegedly died during last month's protest, in Peshawar on December 15, 2024. (Photo: Abdul Majeed/AFP) Pakistan's incarcerated former prime minister Imran Khan on Thursday said he is undergoing the 'harshest prison term' in the country's history. Khan, 72, has been lodged at the Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi since August 2023 in multiple cases. 'I am enduring the harshest prison term in the country's history solely for the supremacy of the Constitution and in service of my nation,' he was quoted as saying in a post uploaded on his verified X handle. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'The level of oppression and authoritarianism is such that even the water I have for ablution is filthy and contaminated with dirt, unfit for any human being,' Khan alleged. The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder alleged the books sent to him by his family have been withheld for months and access to television and newspapers has also been suspended. 'I have spent countless hours re-reading the same old books, but now even those are no longer available,' he said. Khan asserted that no political leader in Pakistan's history has faced the kind of treatment he is currently experiencing. He contrasted this with former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, who, despite being involved in several corruption cases, 'was granted every possible comfort' during his imprisonment. Khan emphasised that his wife, Bushra Bibi, who is 'innocent' and not involved in politics, is being subjected to 'inhumane conditions' in prison. The 72-year-old cricketer-turned-politician further alleged that all his basic human rights have been violated. Even the minimum facilities accorded to ordinary prisoners under the law and the jail manual are denied to him. 'Despite repeated requests, I have not been allowed to speak to my children. Political meetings have also been restricted; I am only permitted to meet certain 'choice individuals', while all other interactions are barred,' he said. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Khan appealed to his party members to set aside all internal differences and focus solely on the movement planned for August 5. The PTI is all set to launch the 'Free Imran Khan Movement' from August 5 across the country. Khan's sons –Suleman and Kasim — are currently in the US, meeting with the Trump administration and Congressmen as part of efforts to release Khan who has been in jail for the last two years in multiple cases. 'I am waging a battle against a 78-year-old system, and my greatest success is that despite unprecedented oppression, the public stands firmly with me,' Khan said. He said on February 8, 2024, the people expressed their trust in PTI by voting for it even in the absence of an electoral symbol. 'After such a clear mandate, it is the moral and political responsibility of every party member to become the voice of the people. It will be nothing short of disgraceful and condemnable if PTI leaders waste time on internal conflicts at this critical juncture. Anyone found engaging in factionalism within the party will be expelled,' he said. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Khan said the Shehbaz Sharif-led government has crippled the judiciary and 'the way biased judges are now delivering blatantly unjust verdicts' is visible to the entire nation. 'We must launch a robust campaign to liberate the judiciary, for no nation can survive, let alone progress, without judicial independence,' he said. (This is an agency copy.
