AMARAVATI: The Praja Darbar, hosted by the Minister for Education, IT, and Electronics, Nara Lokesh, has been a resounding success, instilling total confidence among the people of Mangalagiri.
Due to the absence of restrictions at Lokesh's residence, thousands of people visit daily to personally meet the minister and submit their appeals. Lokesh listens patiently to each person, endeavoring to restore their faith and confidence that he will soon resolve their issues.
With a deluge of public grievances, Lokesh has established a dedicated mechanism to forward these issues to the respective departments for prompt resolution. Despite residing at the official residence of Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, Lokesh faces no official constraints. Unlike the former Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy's camp office, which was heavily restricted during his tenure, Lokesh's residence allows easy access for common people.
Starting at 8 am every day, Lokesh conducts the Praja Darbar at his official residence in Vundavalli, fulfilling his campaign promise that his doors are always open to the people of Mangalagiri. During Tuesday's Praja Darbar, 70-year-old Gundur Venkata Subbamma appealed to Lokesh for assistance in obtaining widow's pension. Similarly, B. Durga Prasad from Tadepalli requested Lokesh to allocate a housing plot and resolve the drinking water issue in his area.
Chillapalli Veeramma sought financial aid for her grandson's education, while T. Jayamani requested pension reinstatement. Representatives from Andhra Pradesh Mee Seva demanded justice for workers dependent on the Mee Seva system.
The AP CPS Employees Association urged Lokesh to address 1,600 pending cases against its members statewide, following their protest in Vijayawada. Meanwhile, the APMCA Association called for the regularisation of Ayushmann Health Clinics staff and the clearance of nine months' salary dues, along with salary revisions.
IT and Electronics Minister Nara Lokesh, who patiently heard each appeal, assured them that he would take prompt action to resolve their issues.
