District Collector K. Senthil Raj has planned to utilise the services of ‘petition writers’ on the Collectorate premises, who used to collect small amount for writing petitions for the public on Mondays to be submitted to the Collector, by giving them wages for preparing petitions for the aggrieved public without charging any money from them.
When Dr. Senthil Raj was receiving petitions from the public at the Collectorate on Monday during the weekly grievances redressal meet, he spotted 80-year-old man sitting along with the differently abled petitioners with the petition.
As the Collector took the petition from frail-looking Sivananda Perumal of Nadu Naalumoolaikkinaru near Tiruchendur, the petition with the thumb impression of the old man prayed for ‘patta’ for a land.
