The Thiruvananthapuram city Corporation's 11 zonal offices, many of which are located in areas that were earlier part of panchayats, have always suffered from lack of attention.
This has not only resulted in issues related to delivery of services to the public, but also led to cases of corruption. Most of the recent cases of corruption that have cropped up in the Corporation in recent times have originated at the zonal offices.
The civic body's 'Nagarasabha Janangalilekk' campaign launched on Friday aims at addressing the lacunae in the functioning of its zonal offices and clear pending files. The Corporation has chalked out an elaborate programme for disposing of the pending files, with the various standing committee chairpersons being given the responsibility of each of the zonal offices.
