Minister Rajendran promises swift resolution of public petitions at Salem

Tourism Minister R. Rajendran led a series of public grievance camps across Edappadi, Konganapuram, Magudanchavadi, and Idanganchalai in Salem district on October 23, 2024, where he personally received petitions and distributed welfare aid to beneficiaries. These camps are part of Tamil Nadu's ongoing initiative to make government services more accessible and responsive to the public. The camps will continue until November 8, 2024.
During the camps, Minister reiterated that his own focus, along with other ministers, is to work directly with the public, listen to their grievances, and ensure timely action.
At the camps, which were attended by officials from multiple government departments, petitions were collected from the public concerning services such as land ownership certificates, income certificates, caste certificates, and corrections to land records. All grievances were registered in a computerized system to expedite resolution, with clear instructions given to district officials for fast-tracked responses.
In addition to addressing grievances, the Minister distributed welfare assistance to 189 beneficiaries across the four regions. In Konganapuram, 47 people received aid worth Rs. 6.36 lakh, 66 beneficiaries in Edappadi received Rs. 1.47 lakh, 43 in Magudanchavadi received Rs.69.31 lakh, and 33 in Idanganchalai received Rs. 6.53 lakh. This aid came from various departments, including the Agriculture, Cooperatives, and Rural Development departments.
Looking ahead, the grievance camps will continue in other parts of Salem district. On October 24, 2024, the Minister will host camps in Kolathur, Mettur, Nangavalli, and Mecheri, where he will collect further petitions from local residents. The initiative is expected to benefit hundreds more as government services are delivered more efficiently to remote areas.
District Collector Dr. R. Brindha Devi, Salem MP T.M. Selvaganapathy, and other senior officials from the Revenue, Rural Development, and various welfare departments were present during the camps to oversee the proceedings and ensure prompt follow-up on public petitions.
