The government has disposed of 3,96,224 applications received in the Praja Vani programme, out of the 4,90,825 applications received so far, sources in the government said.
The Praja Vani was the first face-to-face programme of Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy that started on the second day of his assuming power, opening the gates of Pragati Bhavan to the common people and it was later renamed Mahatma Phule Praja Bhavan. One of the Congress party’s poll promises was to open Pragati Bhavan for people to come with their grievances where the Chief Minister, Ministers and other officials would attend to them regularly. It is now conducted every Tuesday and Friday.
With the appointment of former Minister G. Chinna Reddy as the Vice-Chairman of the Telangana State Planning Board, the government plans to expedite the clearance of applications received in the Praja Vani programme. Mr. Chinna Reddy has also been entrusted with the responsibility of reviewing the Praja Vani applications and coordinating with all the departments for the expeditious clearance of the problems raised during Praja Vani. He will also attend the programme held twice.
