Collector Orders Action Against Absent Officials Over Grievances
A district government meeting called Prajavani lets people report problems to officials.
On Monday, 89 people submitted complaints.
Their concerns included land, pensions, roads, drinking water and housing.
District Collector Khushboo Gupta told officials to solve these problems quickly.
She also said officials must regularly tell people what is happening with their complaints.
Seven officials did not attend the meeting and had not received permission to be absent.
They will receive show-cause notices asking them to explain their absence.
Gupta warned that continued unauthorized absence could lead to disciplinary action.

The programme received 89 petitions concerning land, pensions, welfare, employment, roads, water, housing and other issues.
