Kerala CM Launches Citizen Connect Centre to Engage Public
Kerala's Chief Minister, Pinarayi Vijayan, is trying a new way to talk to people.
He set up a special phone line called 'CM With Me' where anyone can call for free.
The goal is to get closer to the public, since the Chief Minister isn't always easy to reach.
This is happening before some important elections in the state.
The government wants to show they care and that they are listening to the people.
Anyone who calls will get a response within two days.
The government hopes this will help them connect with voters.

The public can connect with the CM via a toll-free number.
This initiative aims to bridge the communication gap between the CM and the public.
The project was approved with ₹20 crore in funding.
