Mangaluru, Aug 31: Citizens in Mangaluru can soon send their complaints to Mangaluru City Corporation through WhatsApp. Mayor Kavita Sanil has promised to introduce a dedicated WhatsApp number to receive complaints from the public.

The decision was taken following a particular suggestion from one of the callers, during a monthly phone-in programme. “I will look into it, as it may help people to post complaints along with substantiating photographs,” the Mayor said. 

The WhatsApp line will be in addition to the dialling facility (Ph: 2220306 and 155313) or through Janahita-PGR app of the Directorate of Municipal Administration.

If everything goes as expected, the control room, which was handling grievances on the two landline numbers, will be given the responsibility of monitoring complaints filed through WhatsApp.

According to Sanil, the control room personnel will be given a smart phone that has WhatsApp facility. The grievances, which are posted, will be forwarded to the respective departments for action. The mobile number will be announced in the next few days, she said.

Dear Madam, I have purchased 1 BHK flat in Green City, Vamadapadav on October, 2013 and paid full amount to builder T3 Urban Developers LTD. As per agreement possession was in December, 2015 but still building is not ready.

There were 5 buildings in Green City and at a time builder started 3 buildings construction work. I have purchased middle of the building and that building 1st floor slab only completed and since long time work stopped. 

Last year builder agreed to give me flat in 1st building but building’s interior work is still pending and since 1 year work totally stopped.

Presently builder is not picking call or not responding for query. It seems that he is cheating with me. Kindly help me to resolve this issue. I will be grateful to you.

Sir/Madam,

 

Four street lights are not working on Raghavendra Matt Road, Hosabettu, Surathkal since long.

 

The roads are in Shabby condition and hence difficult in the night to Padastrians.

 

Kindly arrange to replace the treet lights on Main road, Raghavendra Matt Road, Hosabettu, near and after the Areca Field.

 the kalbavi road in kottara ashok nagar was provided with ugd pipe line during last year. as usual the centre of road was dug up in march 2018 for this purpose making the road not motorable during the monsoon of 2018.

 the asphalt work is now planned now during nov2018 by mcc. this road is very narrow and not having the foot path or road side drain at all. 

 

both the ugd agency as well as the asphalting agency have put the muck/soil on the sides of the road, making it now impossible to walk when there is traffic. also during monsoons , storm water from the entire stretch for about 500 ft will flow on this road itself which is diverted to my compound/pure water sump due to the faulty work of mcc.

in spite of repeated requests/complaints to the commissioner,corporators, engineers of mcc, publishing of the photos of the same in some news papers,action is yet to be taken.

now at least it is requested to remove all the above dumped muck /soil on either sides of this road which is also preventing the entry of monsoon water th the existing drain near the starting point of sagar court.

Thiruvananthapuram, Jan 3: Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Friday wrote letters to 11 Chief Ministers including Arvind Kejriwal--Delhi and Mamata Banerjee, West Bengal-- pointing out apprehensions that had arisen among large sections of society consequent to the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) - 2019.

In his letter, the Chief Minister said "the need of the hour is unity among all Indians who wish to protect and preserve our cherished values of democracy and secularism."

People from various cross-sections of the society irrespective of any difference they might have, need to stand united in preserving the basic tenets of our polity which form the cornerstone of Indian democracy, he added.

"We are sure that our unity in diversity, which has stood the test of times will ultimately emerge stronger. Kerala has decided to address the apprehensions about NRC and that preparation of NPR will lead to NRC by staying all activities relating to NPR in the State," Mr Vijayan said.

In this regard, the Kerala Legislative Assembly had passed the resolution on December 31, 2019, expressing its concern regarding the impact the CAA will have on the nation's secular credentials, he said.

"The resolution requested the Central Government to repeal the CAA, 2019. States, which have the opinion that CAA should be repealed can also consider similar steps so that it will be an eye-opener to the proponents of the CAA and the NRC," the Chief Minister pointed out.
