Vijayawada: As per the directions of Vijayawada MP Kesineni Sivanath, the Praja Darbar programme is being organised every week in the Vijayawada West Assembly constituency to ensure prompt and transparent redressal of public grievances. On Saturday, the Praja Darbar was held at MP Kesineni Sivanath’s camp office located on Ganapati Rao Road in the 53rd Division of the city. TDP leaders, along with senior officials from various government departments, interacted directly with the public and received petitions. A large number of people thronged the camp office, submitting representations related to civic amenities and welfare schemes.

The programme was presided over by division president Nande Vijayalakshmi. State Minority Cell general secretary Fathavulla and other TDP leaders personally heard the grievances and forwarded them to the concerned departmental officials with clear instructions for speedy resolution. Officials resolved several issues on the spot during the Praja Darbar.
