Indore Sets Deadline for Unresolved Issues Submitted During Public Grievance Hearings
In a bid to address various socio-economic problems, a Jansunwai was held at the collector's office in Indore, Madhya Pradesh on Tuesday. The event, attended by senior officers such as the Additional Collector, provided a platform for citizens to voice their grievances, ranging from land and property issues to civic problems.
Most applications concerned land and property issues, such as encroachment on private land, disputes over rented houses where tenants have stopped paying rent, and drainage problems in local panchayats. Family disputes were referred to a mediation centre for resolution through mutual reconciliation and agreement.
Complaints related to tenants occupying houses without paying rent prompted investigations directed by officials to enforce the law. Infrastructure complaints, like drainage and road widening, were forwarded to relevant departments (PWD), with commitments for timely action. Other issues included non-payment of salary by employers, which were escalated to labor departments and tehsildar offices for enforcement.
Financial aid, such as help for medical treatment, can sometimes be granted, for example through the Red Cross during the Jansunwai. A notable step is that a time limit is fixed for resolving complaints that cannot be addressed on the same day, ensuring accountability and follow-up on unresolved issues.
Elsewhere, Mumbai's KEM Hospital lacks Haemophilia medications, forcing patients to resort to costly private alternatives.

In Madhya Pradesh, a plan has been proposed to reduce accidents and improve road safety in Khargone.
