Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) will observe Lokshahi Day, also known as Democracy Day, on October 3. Thane civic body officials have invited citizens to participate by submitting their grievances and requests by September 18.
The event is celebrated every month in which civic officials take cognizance of the problems faced by residents and take action against it. According to municipal authorities, citizens are encouraged to submit their applications and requests 15 days before the scheduled Day.
Officials stated that this initiative aims to provide residents with a platform to address their concerns and seek solutions to various issues. In a statement released by the Department of Public Relations on Tuesday, September 5 noted that interested individuals can drop off their applications at the Municipal Corporation Building or the Civic Service Centre.
The Municipal Corporation has made available Form-1 (B) at the Civic Service Centre for citizens to fill out when submitting their requests to facilitate the process.
The civic body had last heard public grievances on July 4, this year.
According to this directive, requests will not be accepted on Public Grievance Day for the month of December. Instead, the Municipal Corporation has committed to addressing all submitted requests within a month.
Citizens participating in Democracy Day are requested to note the token number assigned to them on the day for reference.
Each applicant is permitted to raise only one complaint per application. Multiple complaints within a single application will not be considered.
This rule applies across various categories, including establishment-related issues, court cases, matters related to the Information Commission, and correspondence from political parties or elected representatives of municipal corporations. Applications that do not adhere to this individual format will not be accepted or processed.
