Hyderabad: Telangana's Congress government has successfully launched the 'Praja Darbar,' a people's court, which received an impressive 5,402 petitions within just two days of its inauguration. The term translates to "people's court," symbolizing the practice where elected representatives regularly interact with the public to address their applications seeking resolution for various grievances.
On the inaugural day, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy personally accepted complaints, which covered a range of issues including housing, revenue, pensions, Aasara pension, health, and job-related pleas. The Praja Darbar may evolve into a regular event, with the CM attending twice a week and ministers also addressing grievances. A grievance cell and an online portal will be established, and acknowledgments are already being sent to the mobile phones of those who submitted grievances.
Of the 1,500 grievances received on the second day, 459 were related to housing, 300 to revenue, 60 to pensions, 43 to Aasara pension, and seven regarding health. Surprisingly, job-related pleas constituted only 140 petitions.
While the program did not operate on Sunday, government sources suggest that 'Praja Darbar' might transition into a daily event.
"The CM may attend 'Praja Darbar' twice a week, and ministers will also address grievances. However, it's not yet clear who will be designated to do so regularly," a source mentioned. "A grievance cell will be established, and an online portal is in the works. Acknowledgments are already being sent to the mobile phones of those who submitted grievances, and a mechanism will evolve within a few days."
